I like the accessibility, but I’d honestly have expected to see more “fuck you, mine’s better” fanslation takes and I am thoroughly disappointed.
I miss getting a bonus packet of translator’s notes at the end of something as well.
I feel like we've lost something linguistically with the rise of professional subtitles for everything because they just adapt jokes and idioms into their nearest English equivalent and lose cultural context. I miss watching anime in 2002 with subs by some guy who was just really passionate about japanese and would fill half the screen with an in-depth breakdown of why a pun works. I'm serious I want that again.
#something something to do with copyright or translation rights that I don't 100% remember but it's a drag.#copyrights and wrongs#anime#world&history#BONUS TAKE: I often prefer to see the translation split the difference and have them go with the nearest Eng equivalent but with an *#where they go off on ''well they literally said this which is the same concept but is the most common take where the author's from''#and just do the full on translator's note/explain the reference for stuff that doesn't have an easier translate#my friend and I have had several arguments where we arrive at the same conclusion from different directions#the most recent one I think was about whether a restaurant deal had a direct English translation#in Machikado Mazouku and NO I do not know whether that is the correct quantity of ''u''s#And she paused the anime so I could see the translator's note and I said ''endless noodles''#''they're describing one of those ''infinite fries'' deals but with another food. they should totes keep the translator's note though''#''because some people want to know the background of just how well that actually looks like it translates''#''also to take pity on the .002% of people who won't make the connection of 'ohhhhh what WE have at Crapplebees'''#and she's like ''but that's not what the translator's notes are for'' and I'm like ''well it's useful when things serve multiple purposes''#I think our main argument is which phrase goes in the subtitle at the bottom of the screen and which goes in the translator note at the top#to which I concede ''who cares as long as you pause it so I can read them''#so yeah I think she's right except for formatting preferences#which are preferences and not better or worse methods#mad disrespect for whomever made Hibiki from Symphogear swear though in one sub we tried she doesn't seem like the type#even if the subs themselves were easier for me to read >_<#I’ll admit one problem I have with seeing more than one translation myself though#is that I end up wanting to Frankenstein the bits I prefer from each one into a new one#and I completely lack the technical ability to do that.

BANG CHAN...
majors in music. he's set on being a sound engineer, thus spending hours in the music lab. if he doesn't answer your texts for hours, you know where to find him. just head to the music lab and you'll find him writing lyrics. (that are most likely inspired by you!)
we've all established this but this man overworks, alright. forgets about the concept of time. you'd have to bring him lunch and drag him out by dinner. because if you don't, this man will panic when he sees the clock strike 10 pm and nobody's in the campus. even more panic when he remembers he has an eight a.m class the next day.
god forbid if you're the one studying too much though... not under his watch! he’ll make sure you have all your three meals! remembers your class schedule, even your exam schedule. takes you for rewards after your study sessions. ice cream at the closest froyo store, croffles at the campus cafe... you name it!
your full time driver. he would not let you walk! not under his watch! grocery runs, doctor's appointment, club activity... your faculty is a ten minute walk from your dorm, yet he will insist on driving you to your faculty. if you insist on reducing carbon emissions — he’ll gladly walk with you.
would 100% gift you a bike to go to class with too. chan would do anything in his power to make life easier for you. whether it be driving you anywhere you want, ordering food for you, or even make a doctor’s appointment for you — he does these little things just to ease some burden off you.
he's a great study buddy. you're guaranteed to get your work done with him. he'd slip in encouraging notes between your text book pages, and would grab a quick snack between sessions. if he sees you get too stressed, he'll take your hand and soothingly rub them as he whispers encouraging words.
LEE KNOW...
biggest tease, truly! the kind of boyfriend to stick his tongue out at you when you walk past him in the corridors.
doesn't mean he's not a softie as well! sometimes he’d cook you lunch boxes, especially for the days where you have non stop classes. yes, he loves being a pain in your ass, but he also loves you <3 would do anything to see the joy in your face as he hands you a lunchbox <3
he enjoys doing chores with you. whether it be buying groceries, or doing the laundry at the laundromat, he enjoys having you as company as he does them. it's a sunday routine for the two of you to get groceries together, then do your laundry. the day ends with him making dinner for the two of you.
minho would take you on walks, in pursuit of stray cats. he'd bring some treats along, and feed any strays you both find in the neighbourhood. this happens so often, that the neighbourhood ladies have grown fond of the two of you!
overtime, you'd end up adopting a cat with him. it just couldn't be helped! the sweet kitten keeps on following the two of you... how could minho not take it home? lets you name the cat just to see you happy.
also i feel like he'd get twitter just to slander you. picture this, you wake up on a random day and see a twitter notification. turns out it's just your boyfriend mentioning you in a tweet that says something like, "y/n stinks." it's fun to him.
occasionally tags you in pictures of cats and bunnies though.
SEO CHANGBIN...
such a dependable boyfriend, truly.
car broke down? call him, he'll know what to do. forgot to print out your assignments? e-mail him the file and sit tight, he'll print them out for you. the sink is leaking? he knows who to call. he's a dependable boyfriend, willing to do anything for you.
though dependable, he absolutely loves being babied. finds the most comfort in holding you.
just finished class? he's calling for u to come over and cuddle. he just got back from the gym? going straight to your dorm to cuddle. he is touch starved and you need to entertain him.
takes you out for shopping sprees! it's okay if your money is tight for the month, his credit card exists for a reason. for you to abuse of course! if you refuse, he'll say that it's reward for studying today.
sometimes you'll randomly receive a package by the door and it's from him. your eyes would linger at an item for a second longer and he'd immediately buy it and have it sent to you.
he's the type of person to visit his family every weekend. no, you won't find him in his dorm on a saturday. he had most likely drove to his parents' for the weekend. overtime, when you get more serious in your relationship, he'd take you to his weekly visits home.
brings you to his mama and would adoringly watch you cook with her.
if there's a weekend he comes home and you don't, his mother will literally ask for you. so you might as well just visit every weekend!
it's okay because weekends spent at his = less money to spend on food.
HWANG HYUNJIN...
roommates to lovers trope
how could he not fall in love with you, his roommate who’s so sweet, and so caring?
a shy boyfriend, yet he doesn't shy away from little gestures of affection in public! holds your hand as you stroll, also fond of putting his hand in your back pocket. he'd happily wait by your lecture hall, a cup of your favourite drink in hand. imagine him in a varsity jacket, hair a little messy, leaning against the wall as he waits for you to finish your lecture. as soon as he spots you, you’d see his eyes turn just a little brighter, and his smile growing a tad bit bigger.
memorizes your schedule by heart. him texting: “you in economics right now? it ends in ten minutes, right? i’ll bring your favourite drink <3” is a normal occurence.
all of your friends adore him. how could they not? he’s shy, respectful, and treats you well. buys you flowers for no reason. you’ll come home and see a bouquet of fresh flowers in a vase, with a cute little note from him <3 would doodle in the note too hehe.
impromptu dates, always! he’d wake you up from a nap and show you that he already set up an indoors picnic. a blanket sprawled in the living room, with your favorite snacks lined up. brings you to a flower field he discovered on a random monday, after class.
hyunjin's the type of boyfriend that would walk around with you, in search of new places you can call your spot. so far, he has three “our spot”, them being a flower field, a cafe that’s a hidden gem, and a secluded table by a window in the college library.
shares his clothes with you. you share a house together, might as well just mix the laundry and freely use each other’s clothes! pull up to college in a sweatshirt of his, and he’ll coo and call you his sweet angel. still gets butterflies every time he sees you in his clothes!! which is pretty much everyday!! still!! he thinks you look so cute in them.
if your jackets don’t fit him, he’ll just tie them around his waist. just wants a piece of you with him, really.
he’s an art major. you’re consistently his subject of art, especially when the assignment is a portrait! uses his assignments as an excuse to paint you. the reward is kisses.
listening to music together in the train to campus. one earbud in his ear, another in yours. you two thrive in comfortable silence, just leaning against each other as soft music plays in your ears.
slow dancing sessions to relieve stress. just swaying with him in the living room, the sound of your giggles filling in the atmosphere.

About beginning of creation of game "courage ordeal"
The idea to create this game come in august 2022 year, and then i started making it, and happily abandoned it in september of same year...
It would probably be a pity if it remained unfinished and forgotten, lying on an old hard drive... and now that I have time again, I'm here to bring my project to the final, but before that I need restore all the stages of that, all what was done, unfinished and abandoned.
So let's create something similar to a concept document... but rather a progress report.
Platform: Windows (possibly Android and Web versions)
Language: Russian, then English
Genre: visual novel
Plot
Because of a teenage fun "test of courage", two friends Hoshi and Mari decide to go to the famous abandoned hotel at night. Their plan is just to get to the hotel, walk around it a little and come back, but will it work?
The game will have 9 endings:
1: Collision is inevitably. Test failed.
2: There is safety in numbers. Test failed.
3. Two stars in the water. Test failed.
4. Friendly company. The test has passed.
5. Fatigue dooms you to loneliness. Passed the test?
6. Scaring away demons. The test has passed.
7. Family ties. The test has passed.
8. Broken, but not broken. The test has passed.
9. Victim of circumstances. Passed the test?
Although the game has many endings, it will be completed in 30 minutes or 1 hour.
So, now it's time to talk about the current state of the novella. When you take and study an old project, you feel like an archaeologist...
In any visual novel, the following components can be distinguished: script, music and sounds, artistic component (backgrounds, sprites, interface), code...
Let's go over what I managed to remember.
The script can be considered ready, but it still needs to be re-read, and every time I re-read it I find something that requires revision and correction, so we will assume that the script is 90% ready. The English version is exactly 0% ready. Yes, there is still a lot of work here.
Music and sounds. I remember that I spent a lot of time looking for the right compositions and arranging them according to the script. The only thing that needs to be done is to post information about the copyright of the compositions used. So the music and sounds are 100% ready, but it is necessary to post information about the compositions.
Art component (backgrounds, sprites, interface). Since I'm making the game alone, I draw the backgrounds and sprites myself... I'm not the best artist, but if you don't practice, you'll never get better, right? I remember I spent a lot of time at this stage, and we can say that it’s ready, except that even then, even now, I didn’t like the splash screen in the menu... let’s assume that 95% is ready.
Code. The gameplay itself is all programmed, the menu is not completed, oh yes, it seems there was a problem with counting the endings. Let's assume that 79% is ready.
Summarize:
- need to re-read the script
- make a translation of the novella
- make a page indicating the copyright of musical compositions and do not forget to mention yourself as the main and only artist :)
- find old work and make a splash screen in the main menu
- add blue koi logo when starting the game
- recheck the code and fix the menu
- test EVERYTHING.
This seems to be the main thing.
I also plan to submit a certain version to the competition, so taking into account the regulations, the release of the game is scheduled for December 25!
