Kick-starter, Muv Luv, Podcast

Hi everyone, with the kickstarter coming up soon, a few of us fans around the globe decided to come together to do a podcast on recent events. This podcast was brought to you by our mainstay host Aalt, also known as KimiNozo Guy, and staring Sachibelle, Evan, Suffolk and me (gabgrave). I’m very pleased to welcome KNG, who is a great fan of the franchise, to Alternative Projects, and you can read his awesome posts and debates on various topics in the industry and on Muv-Luv here at his blog.

This podcast contains:

• Brief introductions about ourselves,
• What we like about Muv-Luv and how we came to know it,
• Our thoughts on the kickstarter, what we think it should focus on, and what we expect from it.

This is our first test podcast, and is a test run for us to get used to things, so please be gentle with us if we sound stiff or odd, and for any problems with the sound quality.

Just to provide a clarification, the stretch goals we mention in the middle of the podcast are actually about the items listed in the poll for what fans would like to see implemented in the localization, and nothing has been confirmed to be in the official stretch goals as yet. The ending song is called Evildoer, from Xanadu Next by Nihon Falcom.

In next week’s issue, we will be talking to the Degica reps on the KS project, so do look forward to that, and if you have any questions you would like to ask them or us, do drop them to us at our email, and we’ll get them answered in our upcoming podcasts.

Thanks for listening to us!

Muv-Luv Official English Kick-starter

Kick-starter, Muv Luv, Muv Luv Alternative

People, I am very pleased to announce that Mu-Luv is finally getting a kick-starter for an official English localization! During the AX 2015 event held in LA, Ixtl and Degica announced that they will be opening a kick-starter to bring Muv-Luv to the West in English.

During the event, Ixtl opened a booth, and the creator of Muv-Luv Kouki Yoshimune and the official artists of the team made an appearance at the booth, greeting fans and giving out sketches and autographs.

For the localization, it is understood that they will be using Amaterasu’s fan translation as a base, and updating the translations to be more accurate. Also implied is the update of graphics and content to match those used in the PS3 and Windows 7 releases of the games, with 18+ content possible as a stretch goals.

The kick-starter will officially open in End Aug – Early Sept 2015, so we shall have to see what shows up. It was hinted that additional games and anime are possible stretch goals as well.

As a long term fan of the franchise, I have no words sufficient to express how I feel at finally seeing this day that an official English release is made possible. The years of effort I and the teams has put in has finally paid off. I would like to reach out to all fans of Muv-Luv who have enjoyed our releases to help make this kick-starter a success.

Please also participate in the survey that was put up by the organizers, for things the fan would like to see in the KS. Link

Update: New Poll for KS items: Link
