Therefore, I and the team would like to ask all of you who have been supporting us to help make this Kickstarter a success! Once this KS is successful, we can expect to see much more of the franchise, media and goods become available in the official international language, which makes this event an important turning point for the franchise.

Alternative Projects + Aalt presents: ARG Test Cast #T01

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

Tags

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

Do visit the official websites for the announcement and the AX event, to see the news and various pictures that were taken at the event.

Muv luv Feb 2014 updates

Tags

Alternative, Chronicles, Figures, Gags, MLA, Muv Luv, TDA00

Just to provide a little update and to let everyone know we are still alive and kicking, translations for TDA00 are still going smoothly, and the idea is to give a complete translation of the story for the next release instead of partial patches.

Regarding the format of the translation localization, I’m going to go with the idea that for western characters, we go with western speech patterns, instead of keeping the Japanese ones fully. So we are localizing the translation text as much as possible while still keeping the meaning of the line intact.

In the meantime, to provide some updates on whats happening in the Muv Luv franchise for 2014, we have Photonflowers and Photomelodies being released on PS3 and Xbox, which are compilations of the Muv Luv side stories that Age has released over the years that isn’t TDA. We also have an announcement for the PC version of Total Eclipse, which should make fans quite happy.

On model kit news, this year we have a smaller line up of a non-scale Takemikazuchi Type-00R 1.5ver with enhanced joints, and a 1/144 F-15 ACTV Active Eagle. Compared to last year’s release of 4 new kits, could this mean that Kotobukiya’s hype for MLA kits is slowing down? I believe some of us are still hoping for a few more kits to become available, like the A-10 and F-4. We also had some new garage kit releases in WF2014W, which sadly might never see the light of day outside of Japan, like the 1/6 Yuzuka and 1/6 Lyz, and 1/144 F-4 (might happen if Koto does it though) and 1/144 Type 90 JSDF tank.

And we also have an unconfirmed rumor of a new Muv Luv Anime in the planning, according to here http://m-p.sakura.ne.jp/

That’s all for now, I’ll continue to post updates when there is something new, so do check back here every now and then. Enjoy some humorous pics in the meantime.
