YES Thank you THANK YOU!!!

>>38197
Yay! Subs!
Thank you so much!

>>38198
Here are finally the mirror download links for SD hardsubbed version of ep.6:
=> http://mir.cr/0NDV58D0

Thank you very much good sir

Glorious

Noob question.

What exactly is the difference between "soft" and "hardsubbed" ?

>>38191

Ok, now you are just making me jealous...T_T

Thanks, people. You're doing a wonderful job!

So basically Grougalagran decided that Alibert would be a great parent for Yugo because he had a big hat?

>>38207

Softsubs = you can turn the subs on and off in MPC/VLC/etc.

Hardsubs = subs are built into the video and cannot be turned off.

Softsubs are handy for taking screencaps.

>>38212
To add to this, you would want hardsubs if you have a crappy computer since hardsubs are much easier to render.

FUCK YES YOU ARE THE BEST FRENCHMEN!

So ummm. am I the only one who first though about Dranie from Warcraft when mentioning everything

Just watched it.

Shit just got real. Can't wait to see how this unfolds...

Trailer for next week's episode:

http://www.ankama.com/fr/206-video-wakfu-serie/11414-trailer-guet-apens-wakfu-serie-saison-2-episode-7


>>38216
You mean the Draenei? I hadn't thought of it right away, but they do sound somewhat similar.

Yohimbe bark? Well played, translators. Well played.

>Yohimbe bark

>>38216
nope, was my first reaction. second reaction: zerg vs protoss anyone?

>>38221

it's an aphrodisiac. it's meant to be a slightly obscure reference, so no worries.

>>38218
I'd have said hardwood myself, but oh well. Those who look it up will be in for a treat :P

Damn it, Ankama. Stop making all your background female characters adorable.

For some reason my downloads are much slower than before. When I downloaded on a free account from megaupload, an episode took 10 minutes tops to download.
These take forever and sometimes don't even finish. I'm not blaming anyone, just curious why.

>>38222


But at what context?

>>38224

CARBONABRA! ^^

>>38226
The advisor says that both the King and Armand really want to hear about the study's results, and that it's of "utmost importance". Basically, we can infer that they've both got problems in the sack.

HD softsubbed version of ep.6:
=> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5EIBDOCE

So is that 2 or 3 times now that bird's ran into a certain Cra's backside?

cant sem to get the download for the nox special to work are there any mirrors?

>>38224

she can carbonabra me any day *wink wink*

>>38218
>>38219
>>38223
>I'd have said hardwood myself
Our first ideas were "hardened wood" or "hardon'ed wood" , but then we changed our mind since in the french version, it's not really a pun, more like a reference to an obscure plant, that happens to be known as an aphrodisiac once you google it. Plus, the pun migh be funny, but it made no sense in the chamberlain's line, Sadidas grow aphrodisiac plants, they don't grow plants that have hard-ons.
Yohimbe bark was the closest as we could find to what french viewers experienced

>>38234
Just checking to make sure; can "bandé" mean to have an erection in France, or is that just in Québec?

Theory: Mechasm drones resemble the Noxines due to the Cube's latent memory. Nox got the same crazy flashback images Yugo got, but focused on them.

And so his design was subtly influenced

thanks sub team!

>>38235
It's not just Québec, the double meaning is also used in France, and I even think that ambiguity is the origin of the name for that plant.

I almost wish I hadn't gotten Islands, I feel it was meant to be played after the second season wraps up to fill in the gaps and gives too much away at this point in the show.

I feel like Islands of Wakfu was released right before episode 6 for a reason and that it is meant to play in to the cinematic pacing of the show, whereas those who did not/cannot get the game will have the revelations later alongside new ones which might just shock the people who played the game as well.

I think the real reason was to get all this theorycrafting about how Qilby is evil or a martyr or has the right idea or has the wrong methods. To distract everybody from contemplating the real questions. Like what the Mechasms REALLY are and what Orgonax really wants.

Notice how everybody is hung up over how Qilby altered facts from IoW in his story, how he said that he was king while Yugo was a defender, or how Chibi made the cube when Chibi was a prophet and it was Qilby who worked on cubes.

But you know what I haven't seen many people talk about? How Qilby said that the Mechasms just attacked one day and that they were after the Eliatrope magic and that negotiation was impossible, yet IoW claims that Mechasms and Eliatropes were once allies.

THAT seems more suspicious to me than the whole part about Qilby claiming to be king when it was in fact Yugo who was king.

>>38287
This episode and Islands are clearly meant to go together so I totally disagree. If they intended islands of wakfu to go with the end of the show they'd have simply placed the release date nearer the end.
This episode is more for the players of Islands of Wakfu than anyone else.

Plenty in islands wasn't explained, Islands of Wakfu was great in that it creates more questions than it actually answers. The spoiler effect is really minimal at best.

Nice post.

Islands of Wakfu vaguely hinted at Eliatropes turning from the goddess to stasis and a cult of machines.

My guess is the Dofus shaped world that Organax launches, from is the Eliatrope homeworld. Corrupted with stasis and ruled by machines.

The eliacube Nora had was like a sentient PDA, empowered with Wakfu. So i'm going for the idea that the Mecasms are Sentient machines fueled by stasis and created by the Eliatropes.

The reason nox's Noxines and Razortime looked like Mecasms wasn't from flashes of the past in the cube, it's because quilby's cube contained the blueprints.
Even as genious as Nox was, there is no way he could recreate a sentient stasis mecha without knowing the blueprints.

>>38288
I'm sorry, what? You obviously haven't played the game if you think that Chibi didn't invent things, just about every single thing in the game is stated to be created by him. Seeing as you apparently haven't managed to comprehend the first post of this thread either I'm inclined to give you the benefit of doubt though.

>>38293
>>38291
>>38289
>>38288
>>38287
Please refrain from discussing the series itself (especially spoileriffic stuff) on this thread. We split the discussion in 2 threads for a reason.

This thread is for discussing everything related to the subbing project, and offer a safe place to follow the releases for peaople who wants to avoid spoilers. (btw could you delete those posts and repost them in the appropriate thread?)

The new "wakfu general" thread is here : https://plus4chan.org/b/co/res/117905.html

Thanks

>>38236

I've been rewatching season one with my girlfriend and we just got up to the Adamai and it occoured to me.

Quilby told us that a whole heap of Eliatrope children were placed within the Eliacube to protect them.

Nox had the Eliacube for 200 years.

Noxines have pretty goddamn Eliatrope looking hats, horns in the same place that Yugo and Quilby both have hat-horns and they're good at using both machinery and portals.

Does that strike anybody else as just too many design coincidences. I'd guessing that the Noxines are either twisted Mechanist Eliatropes or that Nox somehow managed to extract them from the cube and twisted them for his own purpose.

>>38297
You can chalk it up to foreshadowing, I guess.

>>38297

>he never saw special mini-wakfu episode.

>>38297
*sigh*
see>>38294

I TOLD YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

oh god i laughed so hard.

Not to sound ungrateful in the least, but what's with the new watermark in the left corner? It really stands out compared to the Ludo and 3, particularly on screenshots. I realize french television is to blame of course, and dearly hope it's not here to stay?

>>38302
Don't worry, it's not meant to stay.

That dumb logo was for an AIDS campain ongoing in France last week-end. Most French TV channels displayed it for 3 days.

Next week-end we should be back to our usual "only" two annoying watermarks.

>>38297
Like this?

>>38302
Hope it gets re-aired and whoever records it manages to capture it :O

'Ya know...there's sources of videos that don't have watermarks...

>>38304

No i meant Nox's little minion dudes, not his puppets. But this is the wrong thread for discussing it.

>>38306
Where exactly? I haven't even seen a single episode from season one without a watermark, let alone this one.

>>38308
He probably means DVD rips, which we don't support here.
If you wonder why, search and browse older threads. It's been debated several times already.

>>38309
Debated? I think "curb stomped" would be a more apt phrase.

>>38310
your point being ?

>>38310

>>38310

Well yeah, they are just arrogant nerds who are doing free slavework for the greater good and whose whims we just have to bear with if we want to watch this god damn show with English subs unless if we magically find more decent yet as effective people to work on the same stuff.

in b4 YOUSE TROLLING LOLOLO *insert wakfu fangirlmade reaction image here*

>>38314

nope.

>>38314
And now I'm imagining Gadhafi acting like a Wakfu fangirl...

Damn you Internet! What have you done to me?!

Most torrents of season one will have subtitles right?

If not, are there any directories for the fansubs
(I keep ALMOST watching this show. One day I'll actually see it all)

>>38311
>>38312
>>38314

Never said that you guys were in the wrong to crush any attempt or inkling of DVD rips making their way onto these boards. If anything, I very much appreciate that fact and that subsequently we are allowed to continue subbing work and being able to enjoy the plot of this show in addition to portal lasers and dem hips. I'd just rather not pussy foot around what had happened before so we don't get some derp walking in and trying to get the DVD rips going, so we don't have to spend time crushing it again, so we can continue discussion of subbing, the speculation of plot, and the general appreciation of hips. If it was left as simply "debate" there are those who might try to re-open said "debate" in an attempt to get the rips.

it should be uploaded at any minte now.. but i'd wait till the full hour

>>38319
Can someone please post the link for the FLV raw?

Good the ep 7 raws are out.

Its now only a matter of time...

episode 8 seems to be made purely for wakfu fangirls. i can't wait either!

>>38325

You don't say.
EP7 had some delicious, delicious shipping fuel for Amalia/Yugo, me gusta

Guys, it's gonna get some time to get used to, but now we actually discuss the episodes in the thread on +4chan /co/

That's here: http://boards.4chan.org/co/res/24969991#24969991

Let's leave this particular thread SPOILER-FREE and use it only for links and the discussion about subtitles, regarding both their ETA (SUUUBS FUUUCKING WHEEERE?!?) and quality. Or leave your thanks to our awesome team. Talk about the episodes or your speculations in the other thread.

One other thing. I put this link everywhere. Here you have Islands of Wakfu ending song that I "borrowed" from a "Let's play" that is on YouTube:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5KLG49MJ

Did my best (if you think that I suck, then I probably do) to make it sound as good as possible. It's a nice song, IHMO.

Countdown until #34 of Ruel's grandma.

No exceptions.

>>38330

Brother, there is barely any good 34 of Eva and Amalia.

You overestimate the internet when it comes to porn of Wakfu.

>>38329
I thought the plus4chan thread was here:
https://plus4chan.org/b/co/res/117905.html

newest episode link:

http://medias2.francetv.fr/videosread/france3/programmes/toowam/wakfu/ZNVOO8XxthBk.flv

Anyone have subtitle files for everything released to date? I'm trying to make some ipod files for an upcoming trip.

>>38331

Part of #34's existence is it doesn't have to be good.

>>38334
Just the SRT/ASS files?

>>38336
SRTs preferably, yes

cant wait for the Softsubbed ver. YU're doing a great WORK SIR! Thx in advance

>>38306
Considering only 1 or 2 people give enough of a shit to sub this show, and they're retarded about DVDRIPS for some reason, dont hold your breath. Show's not popular enough for alternatives.

>>38341
it's not like you can't buy the DVDs yourself and rip them...

...oh, right, sorry, you're just a cheapfag that wants everything for free, and then bitch that producers are not trying anymore to invest money and efforts into quality.

>>38342
>moral highground
>in a thread about illegeal subs

>>38343
>illegal subs
>technically not illegal if fanmade on publicized videos

>>38343
they're still free to do (or not do) what they want. Your opinion doesn't matter, they don't owe you anything.

Deal with it or do your own subs

>>38341
>>38343
*Sigh*
Looks like I'll have to explain once again to our cheap newfag leechers why we don't support DVD rips here.


We don't do DVD rips because:

- Even if we perfectly know what we do is illegal, we still don't want to rip off Ankama too much. They need to make money out of their series to keep on providing us with quality products. So, if you want stuff related to DVDs actually on sale, just buy them.

- We don't want to piss off Ankama too much. They know this subbing project exists and they let us be so far; but it would be damn easy for them to bug us if they felt like so: sending deletion requests to MegaUpload and +4chan, etc.

- BTW, you may have your ass warm and safe in some random country in the world; but Frenchy and I are French, which means we're within Ankama's suing range.

So, moral highground? Yeah, part of it, however hypocritical it may sound. But more like practical sense too.


Now it's not as if DVD rips don't exist on the web. Subs files timed to them have even been posted here. So if you're not lazy you can easily find everything you want. Just refrain from posting that kind of stuff here.


I hope things are now finally clear.
So may I suggest you quit your spoiled brat bitching, and stop polluting this thread with your silly whining? Because it must be at least the 4th time already we have to justify that choice of ours, and I must say it's getting somewhat annoying.

Thank you... -.-

So are there HD version of the season one episodes? I can't seem to track any down.

>>38348
Aside of ep.24, 25 and 26, nope.

So, any progress on the subs? Frency or Kenny can update me maybe? Is ETA tuesday or wednesday?

>>38350
Good news is Frenchy finally got his regular connection back. But he had quite a busy Saturday, so he's still working on the script.
As for the ETA, well, I can't tell exactly yet. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday indeed, depending on how the proofreading will go.
We'll give a more precise status update tomorrow.

>>38351

Alright, sounds mondo cool. Hopefully my 4chan ban (which I have no fucking clue how I got, got banned for racism even though I had only posted in a Wakfu thread for the past hour before the ban, and nothing ever remotely racist...) so I can join in the discussion, which always rockets around the time of sub releases.

>>38352
Are you on a wireless connection or a shared network or anything other than one single computer connected to a single modem (not router, just a modem)? Then there's a large possibility someone with your IP did something stupid and got banned, and if you use a tripcode on 4c then there's a good chance your tripcode got banned in association with the IP.

;)

>>38353

No, I have wireless internet but it's secured with a password there's no way anyone could guess, and I live on my own. Also, I always post Anonymous.

I honestly have no idea how I got banned. But no sense dwelling on what I can't change.

>>38355
Another possibility is if your ISP is severely limited with regard to IPs and your modem disconnected and reconnected and was assigned someone else's IP who had intentionally dropped it to circumvent a b&. It's happened. Kinda rare though.

>>38356
i got banned for 2 weeks one time for "posting a inappropriate link" which was odd cause i hadn't posted any links or mention other sites in weeks.

>>38357

Heh, look at this this way; at least you ban is temporary. Over here, 4chan permanently blanket banned an entire IP range tied to my ISP. It took just one sonovabitch to misbehave and ruin everything for the rest of us.

Dynamic IPs can be a bitch.

>>38358

God damn, that's gotta suck.

>>38357

Maybe a mod had his ass severely filled that day and didn't agree with you at all with whatever you posted? They can get away with it if they are careful enough, you know.

>>38353
>>38356
It was mentioned in the thread on /baw/ briefly that the whole banned for racism has something to do with some thread or another causing the word 'nigger' to become autoban bait.

I'd imagine the collateral damage must be enourmous.
Anyway, this is hardly the place to discuss banishment issues.

Do you guys need proofreaders? I'm a native English speaker and can understand a bit of French.

Wakfu: A quoi ca sert l'amour [YugAmi]

1) Well folks, bit of bad news, bit of good news, of which you may not be all too keen or interested to hear.

As some of you may know, recently, despite having placed explicit citations in the comments and video themselves, Youtube has seen fit to close down my Wakfu ReCubed videos for copyright issues. It was a good run, over 3000 views in total, just wish it didn't have to end like that.

That's the bad news, the slightly maybe good news, is that having recently watched animation studio Cube's "Perils of Love":

Perils of Love...

I decided to use the editing skills (or lack thereof) flexed while working on Wakfu ReCubed to make an AMV video to rectify the sizeable deficit of Yugo/Amalia musical tributes.

The Song in Question, is the same one from Perils of Love, a song by the late Edith Piaf (feat Theo Sarapo),

And as an added bonus, it's french!

Summary: My first ever AMV featuring everyone's favorite Gourmand/Princess Duo, Yugo and Amalia.

A production that spans the story of these two young souls from the ends of their lives to their early years and finally, to the grand adventure they would come to share.

Played to the classic french love song "A quoi ca sert l'amour" as performed by legendary songbirds Edith Piaf & Theo Sarapo, theirs is a tale where laughter dances with tears, replete with comedy, camaraderie, and care.

Will love blossom between these two young adventurers? Perhaps, perhaps not, but one thing's for certain, it's been one helluva friendshid!

Comments are very, very welcome on Youtube, as 2 of my initial 3 comments have been rather, vitriolic, and may discourage future viewers. If you must criticize, then criticize with eloquence. But then again, compliments never hurt anybody.

2) So yeah, remember how a while back people were trying to determine what TF2 classes the Wakfu cast would best represent? And remember how they decided to give Amalia the role of Demoman?

At first I was like, "huh, that's odd." Then I realized all of her plants and such made it quite appropriate, so I was like "Yeah, that fits pretty well." Then I thought that somebody should totally make a Meet the DemomAlia trailer with select show footage played to the audio of the Team Fortress 2 trailer.

Yes, it was kind of an odd thought. A thought that no one else seemed to have, so with nothing like it forthcoming, I decided to make it myself.

And I did.

However, before I decide to release it, I was thinking of going the extra mile and having the video's "Meet the" Title Card say "Meet the DemomAlia" with the Wakfu logo where the Team Fortress one should be, and perhaps have a sadida doll, or the Sadida symbol where the explosives should be.

Sadly I'm not that good at photoshop: So yeah, bit of an image request here, if someone could touch this title card up to the above specifications, that would be great. I'll wait for a few days for it to come up.

In either case, you will soon receive a minute and a half worth of parody that promises to forever sear the image of Amalia as a Violent, Alcoholic, Aggressive (well, more aggressive), Confrontational (okay, more confrontational), Gruff Voiced, yet inexplicably Fragile (yeah, they really hit the hammer on the head) Glaswegian into your hearts and minds.

>>38364

Do you want it in the solid blue colors? or based off your image?

Hows number 7 comin?

>>38372
Very dialogues heavy!
Release will depend on how fast proofreading will go, but I'd say Wednesday is a more likely ETA.

Hey, I came in to thank everyone for the subs, raws and other stuff.
As always, good work.

And umm... I tried ripping music from "Islands of Wakfu"
And I only managed to somehow convert one vocal song, rest of the .xma files are friggin' impossible to convert.
If anybody is interested in this, I'll post here again (or should I post in the general Wakfu thread?) to say how I'm doing.

Picture unrelated, but I made it so posting it here.

When does this air in Japan? Do the Japanese have the rights to make proper pvc figures of the characters?

>>38374
I've already "borrowed" the ending song. >>38329

If your version is better than mine (and it probably is) then link this motherfucker, 'cause I'm in love with that song and I'd love to have it in better quality than my poor homemade attempts.

>>38376
http://www.mediafire.com/?y2542zabg2ak1e9
I listened to both of them some, and my version seems kinda more clear, I think. So enjoy, encoded at 320kbps just in case.

>>38375
The show isn't even licensed let alone airing in Japan so any figure made would be illicit.

http://www.ankama.jp/jp/project/Wakfu

>>38375

It's not airing, but there are fansubbs on NikoNiko.

Up to EP10 now, I think.

>>38378

So the whole wakfu japan website thing is meant for the game?

>>38380
Somewhat, that website is for the studio they have in Japan so it's about dofus, the animations they produced including the Nox special, and some comics.

I got a question for mr Kenny. Do you and this Frenchy guy keep in contact outside of 4chan and +4chan?

WakFortress 2: Meet the DemomAlia

It's time to meet the DemomAlia, the most confrontational, ornery, thin-skinned and not to mention explosive mercenary in WakFortress 2.

Don't let the doleful eyes (eye?) and bitter temperament fool you or this green-blooded royal pain will show you why you can't spell Flower Power without POW!

So yeah, not much has changed with Amalia herself, other than the fact that she has gained something of a drinking problem and is now inexplicably Scottish.

First try at something like this, sorry if the lip and sound syncing is a little off at points.

As always, feel free to comment, and remember, you kind of brought this upon yourselves so if it ends up scarring you for life, blame your imagination and all its creative capabilities.

Special Thanks To: A Successful Business Man for the custom 'Meet the DemomAlia' title card (don't worry, I used the 'Final' one in the video)

>>38375
>implying Japan would give a shit about this show

>>38383
Yes, by e-mail, and chat during our proofreading sessions.

Interestingly enough, playing Islands of Wakfu has suggested that Qilby is a martial arts master given that he invented some of the special moves Nora uses.

Battle scene will not disappoint. And think of how badass it will be when he has ONE ARM.

>>38388
Yeah, I've been thinking about that. It'll be awesome but odd.

And not to be impatient, but is everything okay with the translation process?

Status update time !
here's the draft script for this week's episode.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MKXUmJqTZQNa-UdiXvLENUrjA4WTjeWfHCX362HQKFc/edit?authkey=CLX428oI#

It has already been partially proofread, but still have some work to do, so no release today (tomorrow maybe).
As Kenny already said, it's quite dialogue heavy, and surprizingly, has more line (although maybe sorter ones) than exposition episode 6.

MARRY ME FRENCHY.

ACTUALLY DON'T CAUSE NOW I'LL NEVER GET MY PAPER WRITTEN.

BUT STILL.

<3.

>>38390
THX frenchy.... jaja

>>38390
Glorious!
Thanks again Frenchy and Kenny!
I hope you release before my internet gets switched over
I need my Wakfu fix ^^;

>>38386

Since Japan has basically given up on making anime that isn't specifically designed for pedophiles, yeah it could find an audience.

>>38395
also Japanese people are huge Frenchaboo in general. just stamp it as "the French dragon ball" and you'll get a lot of people interested, as long as it looks "french" enough for the average Japanese viewer.

>>38396
> as long as it looks "french" enough for the average Japanese viewer.

But... everything looks sexier if french...

I can see Wakfu becoming a hit in Japan.
Also: the usual thanks to our brave sub-team!

>>38398

Excellent work on the subs guys..... now do them in Japanese

>>38399
I would love to, but I'm afraid my "Nihongo" is quite "pitoyable"! :p

>>38401
By the way: Kenny, I hope you and Frenchy remember about the Ogrest special? It airs April 23rd if I recall correctly.

Sorry for asking silly quesitons. :)

>>38402

Oh man... It's gonna take them weeks to sub that. Oh well, subs are subs, and I'm grateful no matter how long I have to wait.

>>38402
I wonder if they release a normal episode on top of it the same day. I guess not.

>>38402
Oh yeah, we remember...
We were talking about it yesterday BTW.
We hope for something with A LOT of action -and very few dialogues!

>>38404
Not "weeks", but a full week is quite likely.

>>38405
Nope. We'll have:
-Ep.8 on the 16th
-Ogrest Special on the 23rd
-Ep.9 on the 30th

Ogrest should not look that cute. And slightly reminiscent of a rabbit. Which isn't helped by the special's air date being right before Easter Sunday.

>mfw I remember I'm going to be in London for two weeks, leaving on the 15th, and won't be home until the 29th
>meaning I'll miss episode 8
>and the Ogrest special

>>38409
Actually... you'll get to watch them as soon as you return, with no spoilers. Instead of waiting for the subs for days while everyone who understands French or watched it anyway spoils everything. I think you're doing pretty well.

>>38408
It's probably just Ogrest before he got the 7 Dofus that raised him to god-status.

I hate to be "that guy" but any chance of a sub release before tomorrow?

>>38414

See
>>38373
> Very dialogues heavy!
> Release will depend on how fast proofreading will go, but I'd say Wednesday is a more likely ETA.

>>38415

okay.jpg

>>38407
we get an Ogrest special, that i'll be cool since idk if they flat out said it but it was heavily implied that the 6 he collected were the six leaders for the "aliens"

>>38418
If by "aliens" you mean "Eliatrope council", the opposite has actually been demonstrated. Why? Yugo's Dofus hatched about 10 years ago under Grougal's care, Grougal's Dofus was guarded by Drill and his family for centuries and Qilby's Dofus is in the Crimson Claws Archipelago. That's already three of them Ogrest can't have.

>>38418
Not even remotely implied... See image.
>>38420
Referring to that post I made earlier? XD

>>38422
No idea who said it, nor when or where. Probably on /co/.

>>38423
Indeed it was.

Hey fellas, because I had so much fun with the first WakFortress video:

WakFortress 2: Meet the DemomAlia

I've decided to make a couple more. Call it pushing my luck, but I was kind of hoping A Successful Business Man could maybe photoshop the following Title Cards to give them more personality. If you can't, or are too busy, then that's perfectly understandable, but still, doesn't hurt to ask:

Yugo:
Meet the Scout becomes Meet the Chell (because, y'know, Portal)

Ruel:
Meet the Soldier becomes either 'Meet the Kamando' or "Meet the SoldieRuel'.

Nox:
Meet the Engineer becomes 'Meet the EngiNox'.

The first two are more or less done, so...yeah.

By the way, would anyone object to me making Evangelyne the Heavy if I get around to it? Because, y'know, Rapid Fire, loves her weapon, etc.

>>38425

More of a matter of me being around to see the request.

What exactly do you want with the Scout one?

>>38425
If it allows for "WHO TOUCHED MY BOW" jokes, sure. Grovy must become the Soldier then.

>>38420
Is there something stating Ogrest STILL possesses all 6 dofus at the time of Season 1's events?

>>38427
Hey-hey, small net, you are a fast fella.

Um,I guess just replace the bat with an Eliatrope Portal or Valve's Portal Person.

>>38430
I'll do what I can tonight. I have some stuff to do first.

Going to do Engineer first as it's my favorite class.
Then Scoot
Then Soldier.

I'd like to pass on some of the comments I've received via the translation priority poll, since most are addressed to everyone who has contributed to providing translated Wakfu content so far.

> I'd love to be able to help out with the project, and really appreciate the great job you guys have been doing thusfar, keep up the good work.

> Regardless of what gets done first, or how it does. I would personally like to thank all involved in bringing this wonderful media into daylight. I truly enjoy it and am personally glad it exists, yet I would not have any idea of them outside of what you guys have brought forth.
> Thank you, on behalf of all of us who read and watch.

> Just want to say you guys are amazing, and I'm personally fine with anything you guys choose to work on next. Keep up the good work!

Just bringing to your attention that the MegaUpload for episode 2 hardsubbed is down.

>>38432

To continue from the Wakfu game forums.

>And once again thank you for the wonderful subbers! I would be rather teary eyed without you

>THANK YOU TRANSLATORS FOR BEING SO DAMN WONDERFUL!!!

>I LOVE YOU FOREVER SUB TEAM!!! WITHOUT YOU I'D BE VERY VERY SAD!!!!

>The Sub Team is like a dream come true. XD lol Thanks again!

And my own personal Thank you for all your work.

>>38432
Oh, that was nice to read.

A little update on ep.7 subs before I get a few hours of sleep.
-Proofreading is done.
-Left to do: typesetting, QC, hardsubs encode and upload.

Expect the release around the same time as last week (early morning in NA).

>>38434
>>38432

Both for different things. But I imagine they feel the same for both.

>Eva as Heavy
>Not Sniper
>She's hired muscle
>Just like the sniper
>But she's crazy about her bow
>But she's a sharpshooter
okay.jpg

Makes sense, but you'd think Grovy would make the PERFECT heavy. Especially since the two have a little bit of a love/hate relationship going on. You could even say that Eva is Snipe-y

I can see Grovy biting into a Shushu sandwhich already........
Creative license so go with what you like!

>>38438

Well.. you made me chuckle.

>>38439
Good to know!

Reposting my roster from previous thread:

Scout - Yugo
Pyro - Adamai/Grougal
Soldier - Goultard/Alibert
Heavy - Grovy (Who touched my Rubilax?!)
Engineer - Ruel
Demo - Amalia
Medic - Adamai (?) / Xav (?) / The woman from episode 7?
Sniper - Eva
Spy - Joris

Announcer - Miranda/Boufball Announcer

Don't remember who kicked off the idea of TF2/Wakfu mashup but I'm glad to see it's getting some serious consideration!

>>38440

I aided in some of the choosing. I'm also working on the Noxineer Meet video card right now. Then I'm doing Yugo.

>>38441
Sounds great, can't wait to see em!

Is it strange that I imagined the scout's headset on top of Yugo's hat?

>>38442
Not at all.

See here. Just another one of the cards in the video.

>>38425

>>38441
Noxineer, damnit, why didn't I think of that??!!

>>38444
Meet the Horloger is now stuck in my head....
Not as catchy but dang.

So other than the main 3 discussed so far, what are the other assignment that you've got "locked in" so to speak? Or are the other roles still up in the air?

>>38444
>>38445

Im almost done the Noxineer one. I just need a Noxine.

Just had a brain-gasm. You know what we need? An eyelander skin. For Nox's sword. How freaking awesome would that be!?

>>38446
Here you go.

And it's in CG!!!

>>38447
That would very much rock.

I'm also all for a Portal Gun skin where they replace it with Yugo's Arm, kind of like the plasmids in Biosock.

>>This thread is for discussing everything related to the subbing project
>Wakfu/TF2 crossover
How about you take this to another thread and actually follow the ground rules Kennymc set down.

>>38449
Old habits die hard.

>>38447

I commend the animator for it.

aaaaaand done I guess.

>>38449
>Please refrain from discussing the series itself (especially spoileriffic stuff) on this thread.

To be honest, I don't think our little discussion warrants another thread anywhere, and we're not exactly taking up space or ruining the series for anyone. While I see your point of view, it seems a little heavy handed at this point. Should an actual "project" come out of our little discussions then sure, we'd definitely move.

Polite sage since it seems to bother you

>>38452
I do believe it warrants another thread because you've been working on this for days in pretty much every thread on both 4chan and plus4chan. I'm pretty sure it would also be more productive for you guys to have only one place to keep in touch instead of refreshing 3-4 threads and splitting the discussion among them.

On the matter of this particular thread, even though this isn't spoilers, I think it would be preferable to keep it clean with subs-related discussions only.

And since this is written communication, it's worth pointing out that I'm not mad and don't wish to seem aggressive.

>>38453
I would never imply that you were mad, as your post was well mannered and presented in a good way. I will begin by saying that I am not privvy to the other threads you've mentioned or the splitting of posts/refreshing of multiple threads. I myself have not been working on anything just yet. I have only posted TF2/Wakfu ideas under this name, anyone else posting such ideas are other persons. Should such a sizeable community exist that a thread be created, I would be more than happy ot migrate. I will again say that I feel this is somewhat unnecessary, but if it is the will of the people then so be it.

I might also point out, though it doesn't matter very much, that I haven't taken part in a Wakfu thread on 4chan in quite some time. I will assume that you are referring to someone else or those with TF2 ideas in general.

>On the matter of this particular thread, even though this isn't spoilers, I think it would be preferable to keep it clean with subs-related discussions only.
Again, I do agree but subs-related discussion only seems nearly impossible. It would either be "subs fuckin when?" "dvd rips where" or minor updates - all of which is covered on the twitter or on the blogspot (is it a blogspot? correct me if I'm wrong).

I'll sage again since you believe I'm bumping unnecessarily. I don't wish to come off as aggressive either. I personally consider it something to pass the time in the subs thread while we wait. If it is all that bothersome, then again I'd be happy to discuss it elsewhere.

EDIT: changed "now privvy" to "not privvy"

>>38451
This is all kinds of fantastique.

Sadly, among the three, the Noxineer Short is the most incomplete, but don't fret, am working on it even as we speak.

Good luck with the rest, and thanks.

You're pretty awesome, anyone ever tell you that?

>>38453
So you'd prefer it if we started something akin to a Wakfu Fanproject thread for the creation and promotion of Wakfu-related fanfiction, fanart, AMVs, parodies, and the like?

If we did, um, where would we put it, here or on /co/?

> Wakfu Fanproject thread for the creation and promotion of Wakfu-related fanfiction, fanart, AMVs, parodies, and the like?

On one hand it sounds like too much considering there's only the TF2 thing right now, but on second thought it does sound rather interesting to me. Something like a Wakfu Derivative Workshop that would encompass anything and everything that needs more time than a 4chan thread can allow but is too small-scale for an individual /coc/ thread, and would stray too much from the usual direction of general threads...

Basically anything that requires several people to share/compare their work and ideas for fan stuff could go there while it's being built. AMVs could apply, fanfictions I don't know, I guess if the author seeks opinions yeah, and even that Monty Python meets Wakfu audio skit Zabchan and others have been talking about.

What does everyone think about that?

>>38458
I think it sounds like a good idea. We can worry less about spoilers and the artists/creators can post updates for projects and ask for comments. And when something is done, post it on the main thread. I'm a big fan of the all the fanfic's and NewWakfuFan's character analyzations; they would fit nicely on a Wakfu projects thread.

>>38458
Sounds agreeable enough. Won't waste too much space as we can encompass other projects. My main "concern" all along has been how empty the subs thread could become however since we're suddenly moving everything out of it.

Goodnight!

ep 7 subs ?

>>38461
>someone asks for subs for the bilionth time
HOLY SHIT, IT'S FRENCHY WITH AN AXE, RUUUN!!!

First time posting here, just wanted to extend a great deal of gratitude from me and my two animation fan friends for doing the sub work for this show. You guys seriously rock.
Incidentally, has there been any news of Wakfu getting an english release? DVD Sales stateside or anything like that?

>>38433
>Just bringing to your attention that the MegaUpload for episode 2 hardsubbed is down.
Things on Brotherhood of Tofu that need reuploading (complete list after checking all links):
- S2 Episode 1 Softsub
- S2 Episode 2 Hardsub

That's a short list. :) We need to get those up and running. I would upload them myself, but I'm "stuck" with the HD versions. Any volunteers?

>>38433
>>38464
Done. New links:

-Ep.01 SD Hardsubbed => http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z18L3C88

Also, starting Ep.7 upload.

Oh hi Kenny, if I understood correctly sub release will be around 18-19 GMT (best timezone, except for masterrace GMT+1 of course)? Or has the time changed?

>>38466
Should be early afternoon GMT+1 (around noon GMT).
Of course, depends on how much Mirror Creator will mess with my uploads, that's why I won't give a precise ETA hour.

>>38467

Oh, much earlier than I thought then! Here in my peaceful little penis-shaped country it's currently 12, so... about another hour or two before subs yeah?

>>38468
Better than an ETA, have a release. Mirror Creator went easy on my uploads this week.

So, Wakfu fix of the week, season 2 episode 7 with English subs:

Yay, new subs! Thanks a lot!

>>38477

i'll better buy more tissues...

>>38469
You know I've always wondered why HD is uploaded after the SD release. Is it just because of the size of the file or is it a different broadcast and you guys have to redo the timing?

>>38480
>because of the size of the file - different broadcast and you guys have to redo the timing
Yup, both.

>>38477
But... why did they have to make him green? ;_;

I really wish the specials used the same art style as the series...

In other news, fuck yeah Otomaï.

>>38477
Is anyone else getting a Studio Ghibli vibe from that trailer, or is it just me?

>>38483
>But... why did they have to make him green?

This and the fact that Otomaï has lynx ears are the only things that irk me.
Otherwise, fuck yeah!

>>38484
It looks like he's a clone of Pochi form Welcome to the Space Show. :l

It looks like it'll be good, though.

>>38484
Not just you. Major Ghibli vibes. But that only makes my girl boner harder

>>38484
>>38489
Yes! I'm not the only one!
It was very Miyazaki. Something about Ogrest's face...

Those bone bird mounts are pretteh cool

>>38477
Holy shit, dat animation. This is going to be such an emotional and fun special.
>dat yugo and fatherly love

Seems stylistically similar to Welcome to the Space Show by A-1 Pictures. Image for reference.

And cute little Orgrest for comparison.

Any reason we're sticking with the Grovy name?

I titled my copy of ep4 "Pinpin's Return".

Where are you all finding all this side information?
Should I be playing the games to understand these other antagonists and their relations?

lol it takes 3-5 days for you noobs to sub something that's 20-30 minutes long

holy fuck

>>38497
for the same level of quality, the avera animu needs weeks, if not month. fast subs skips all the actual writing and copy paste vaguely matching tropes instead.

>>38497

You can do it faster? Or maybe better? THEN EITHER DO IT OR STFU.

Instead of responding to the troll and thus perpetuating his success, perhaps someone could help me with my question.

>>38503
Got a similar question yesterday, to which I replied something along those lines:

It's cross-media, so all the info is scattered across a variety of games, books, magazines, comics, videos, forums, blogs, bonuses and interviews. There is no central source of information. In other words, it's very hard to find a particular piece of information other than by asking people who've been involved in a certain number of these for a while.

>>38465
It was episode 2 hardsubs that were down, not episode 1.

>>38505
My bad.

Forgive me zabchan,

I couldn't help myself.

WakFortress 2: Meet the HEva

Truth be told, this probably isn't my best video. The use of still frames to promote better lip and sound syncing is probably going to grind on some people's gears. And the costume shifts from using awesome Eva footage from both seasons is going to be a bit jarring. It's more of an experimental video than a 'serious' addition.

The Noxineer, Kamando and Chell videos will be much more consistent and palatable, that, I can assure you (all are done BTW, any you guys would like to see first?).

To be fair, I'm probably going to do one with Grovy as the Heavy in the future.

>>38458
Incidentally, is that an approval for a WakFanproject thread on /coc/?

>>38511
Maybe there's hope for a dub in the UK... or even Australia.

>>38504
We don't even have a wiki?

>>38514
Well there's the Dofus Wikia that has info about the game, including books you can find that talk about the lore. Notably:
http://dofuswiki.wikia.com/wiki/Angels_%26_Demons

Google turns up a couple other French wikis but they all seem focused on the game (items, quests, classes, etc.). So yeah, nothing worth mentioning that I know of.

>>38469
Thank you i love you

>>38513
>Wakfu aired in the UK or Australia
Amalia now wears a poncho that hides hers skin and curves, also, she wears shoes.
Eva's skirt reach her knees
Any curvy female is either made un-curvy, or look like she's 40 years old.
Sex jokes, sex jokes nowhere !

You get the idea ...

>>38517
Then again, Yugo with a British or Australian accent.

Decisions, decisions.

>>38517
Yea... Uk... The country that only gave Ar Tonelico 3, a 12 rating compared to America which rated it mature.

Phfft. I've been following fansubs for various animu for years, I have never seen such speed, quality, and most importantly care given to fitting localization than with what our French benefactors are providing.

I mean shit man, they're even localizing the puns! That is godamn unheard of in the anime subbing world.

>>38519
Seriously? God damn.

Moar ace work from the fan-sun team , kudo's to the lot of you for you continued hard work!

I'm enjoying Season 2. Keep it up lads.

>>38517

If they rate it for kids, then expect that.

If they rate it 14+ or something like that, nothing is going to change.

Besides, a lot of the jokes in Wakfu wouldn't be understood by many youngins nowadays. They're kinda dense.

To summarize:

TV-14

(Parents strongly cautioned/May be unsuitable for children under 14 years of age)
TV-14 icon.svg

Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and are cautioned against letting children under 14 watch unattended. This rating may be accompanied by any of the following sub-ratings:

* D for intensely suggestive dialogue
* L for strong coarse language
* S for intense sexual situations
* V for intense violence

According to this, unless wakfu is rated G

In fact, the "PG" rating is perfect for wakfu:

TV-PG

(Parental guidance suggested)
TV-PG icon.svg

This rating signifies that the program may be unsuitable for younger children without the guidance of a parent. Many parents may want to watch it with their younger children. Various game shows and most reality shows are rated TV-PG for their suggestive dialog, suggestive humor, and/or coarse language. Many prime-time series are given this rating, such as Everybody Loves Raymond and The Simpsons (though some recent episodes have aired with a TV-14 rating, the syndicated versions of those episodes have been rated down). Most music video shows (such as on MTV ), some Cartoon Network series such as Regular Show or Adventure Time, and all WWE programs (including those aired on Pay-Per-View) after 2008 are also rated TV-PG.

The TV-PG rating may be accompanied by one or more of the following sub-ratings:

* D for some suggestive/mild flirtatious dialogue
* L for infrequent coarse language
* S for mild sexual content
* V for moderate violence

I have not seen intense bleeding, foul language or extreme sexual content. If anything wakfu is going to be fine, don't worry about the FCC.

>>38520
> most importantly care given to fitting localization
> I mean shit man, they're even localizing the puns! That is godamn unheard of in the anime subbing world.

I think that's indeed where most of the difference comes from. First you won't find typos in the subs, which are almost all over the place in some other shows. Second, puns are a serious headache to translate and take a long time to agree upon. I should run a comparison of the number of puns in one of the comics and how many I even bothered to translate. It would almost make me feel ashamed. And the series isn't any better in that regard.

I just saw the Wakfu MMORPG trailer........(prepares to barrel roll off a cliff)...T_T

>>38527
Well if its one thing you can count of square to do, it's drive as many players away from your game as possible.

>>38529
>new trailer
Again, try to keep all the spoileriffic material in the /co/ thread
https://plus4chan.org/b/co/res/117905.html

>>38525
>In fact, the "PG" rating is perfect for wakfu
In Poland we have 5 TV ratings: Everyone (self explanatory, no violence or sex at all), 7+ (most Disney movies and cartoons, including Batman: TAS, go here), 12+ (basically it's the equivalent of PG-13, but a bit more liberal), 16+ (most horror movies and adult themed anime like Elfen Lied) and Adult (18+; racism, porn, realistic gore fests and South Park).

Wakfu fell into the 12+ category, sharing it with Lord of the Rings, Jaws and Rambo 2. Makes you think.

>>38498
>for the same level of quality, the avera animu needs week

>720p HD RAW rip within hours of airing
>subs within the same day, one day max

>Shitty quality rip and typeset for the font

nope.avi

>Anime have dedicated fangroups with several people involved, translating for people who know all the japanese jokes and phases.

>We have a couple who do it in their spare time and have to make all the puns understandable for English speakers.

>>38534
..That was kind of my point. I'm not bashing it, but I don't see how one can say it's 'faster and better quality than animu subs!' when it's... not. Unless it's lying/needless dick sucking to the two guys who bother to sub the show.

Hey guys, Legendra is having a poll for his next drawing, and Evangelyne is losing
http://legendra.deviantart.com/journal/poll/1952788/
shall we rectify that problem?

>>38534
not to mention it's fucking exam season
to everyone bashing it:
don't like it? do it yourself.

>>38533
>Wakfu takes weeks to get something subbed
Weeks? Really? Hell, if you're gonna talk shit, why stop there? It takes months! Years! Eons! But certainly it's not 3-4 days!

>>38535
>Unless it's lying/needless dick sucking to the two guys who bother to sub the show.
It's not your business whose dick I suck and why.

>>38536
Contributing!

>>38536
She's now a very close second.

>>38535
A few things that bug me though:

>Wakfu takes weeks to get something subbed
So far it took us at most 4 days to release an episode after it aired. This is not "weeks". And that kind of delay isn't uncommon in animu fansub either. Not all groups make their release within a day or so.

>Shitty quality rip
Well, I do what I can with what I get on French TV. Japanese TV has been using digital and HD broadcast for far longer than French TV, so it's just normal the quality is better.

>Shitty typeset for the font
The use of a simple white Arial font is a choice we made for the sake of readability. We wanted to make it somewhat DVD-sutitles like. We could also do flashy things if we felt like to (look at the karaoke), but it's just pointless. Having fancy fonts has nothing to do with quality; it's just subbers having fun.

Voted for Eva of course. Let's settle this little "argument" we're having

1) Anime subs are much faster for obvious reasons. Get over it. That's why you pick up a couple animes to watch while Wakfu is going on.

2) Our sub team (if I can call them that :3c ) is doing a FANTASTIC job with what resources they've got at hand. They deserve any praise people decide to shower upon them.

Thus: Wakfu's getting subbed, don't like it then wait till the end of the season and batch download. If you've got even a basic understanding of French (or even more basic like myself) then you can make small changes here and there to make your own damn subs. In the meantime, enjoy the differences between anime and wakfu by picking up a show or two - Tiger & Bunny is looking pretty promising thus far.

tl:dr Suck it up, the subteam is doing us a favour. Watch animes as well as wakfu, using them to tide you over between episodes.

Haven't watched the video yet, but if you're not exactly happy with it I think I'll wait for a Greavy video. Or whatever you wanna call him. I think a transformation scene would do quite well for the heavy's outbursts regarding Sasha. Specially when his demonic form starts shouting. Just an idea. Keep us in the loop! If noone else wants to do it, I'll create a /coc/ thread where we can host the AMVs, fanart, TF2 discussions, and hopefully if I can be bothered to learn something new - I'd love to try and create a skin for the Eyelander to make it look like Nox's sword.

>>38539
7 votes behind the lead. We may need to take this to /co/.

>>38534
Not everyone is online at the same time. But one of the main problems we have is, we can't live chat, which leads to a game of tag with proofreading, followed by clarification and slap-fights about some contested phrases, to maintain a balance between the core material and being understandable to the average american viewer, who might not know what a Blanquette is.

...besides, as some of you might know, off-vocabulary is death
>>38542
would be nice

>>38540
I, for one, welcome our Arial overlord. Granted, I haven't watched much anime so far, but your choice of font is the best I've seen so far, and even with comparisons left aside I find it excellent.

>>38543
ginger! dont air our dirty laundry out here for the world to see, we must present a united front.

pay him no mind folks. The subs team NEVER fights over phrases or word choice. we NEVER spend four hours debating on if it's Krosmos or Crosmos that descends into malebashing and femalebashing and insulting each other's countries of origin, sexual preference or mother's marital status. the puns and poetry and translating tongue twisters just pop into our collective heads as if placed by the idea fairy herself. and rainbows fly out of our fingers when we type and angels sing and-oh god i cant force myself to finish that statement.

it's Krosmos

>>38545
It's Krosmoz, actually.

We got it covered. We're making a bunch of accounts and spamming the votes

>>38547
Nice.

>>38547
That might as well just make Legendra take Eva out of the poll for cheating.

>>38549
It's worked for us before, me and cyberdemon photoshop Kiribans to get art as well a few times.

>implying he reads this thread

Hey subbers, I've been meaning to ask... If you've read the comics (especially the extras), would you say they have more or less puns than the series? Just out of curiosity.

>>38551

I wouldn't have known about the poll before this. I have 2 legitimate accounts, both voted for Eva. :3

>>38554
I'd say on average, there are a tiny bit less puns in the comics I've read so far, since they're a bit more serious than the series. Of course, that tells us nothing about the difficulty to translate them, since it's pretty much a case by case thing. I remember we had one or two nasty ones in the Black Raven comic.
Also, I've never read the Dofus manga, which looks more light-hearted, and therefore, more prone to having loads of puns.

>>38540
Didn't the last episode get released on Wednesday... isn't that 5 days... 5 days could be referred to as a week.

>>38543
Wouldn't it be better if you improved on this system? You seem to know the problem so your half way there to fixing it.

From my perspective the episodes have been taking you progressively longer since the start of the second series. I seem to recall the first few episodes being released on a sundays. If I am right that means the release speed is getting progressively worse. If you guys are having a hard time, perhaps you should be looking for additional help or ways to improve and work on the system you're already using.

>>38557
C'est encourageant ça... ;)

Well we've proofread both Maskemane and Remington in live sessions so I can see a bit better how it goes for you guys as well. Still better than going at it one at a time, but it does take a lot of time for seemingly little text. The end result shows the effort, though :)

>>38558
We never released on sunday, at best we released on monday evening.

Last week's delay was caused by a technical problem (my internet going down), so not related to our system.
This week's delay was cause by me not being aviable on saturday at all + longest episode (in terms of # of lines) so far. No matter what your system is, intangibles ARE going to happen, and 1 and a half day longer than our fastest release can hardly be considered an unreasonable delay. It's also a bit premature of you to draw a trend based on only 2 releases.

On top of that, before the season started, our goal was to release within the week, giving priority to quality over speed. So technically, we're still withing schedule. Monday releases are just a bonus that happens sometimes, not the norm.

As for recruiting new people, that's what we've been doing, but this is something I want to be very careful with, because I know by experience that more people = more time arguing, and it's noticeable even with a single person added. The time saved by having one more person aviable, for the odd proofreading session other poeple aren't there, might be lost tenfolds for all the other proofreading sessions where everyone will be there and arguing.

I'm not saying our system can't be improved, and in fact we're always thinking of ways to do it. I'm just saying I don't see a big problem with the release dates for now and it's not a top priority.

>>38560
This.

>>38558
>5 days could be referred to as a week
And 3 weeks could be referred to as a month, and 10 months could be referred to as a year, and 8 years could be referred to as a decade...
Please stop the bitching already! Whining won't make things go faster. So deal with it once and for all. Whoever can do better, please feel free to do so.

And so, this week's episode is available online:

>>38562
Yay, just the perfect thing for me to watch before I go to sleep. It's actually nice to watch the raws before the subs come out. I feel like I'm picking up more and more language hints each time I do this.

On a side note : Gerard Surugue is back, voicing Rubilax

>>38564
>Rubi is back
Oh happy day!

So, will this ep be easy or hard to translate?

Ep.8 Web RAW, downloadable MP4 version:
=> http://www.mediafire.com/?o1bguodk2tg36b6

FLV - http://www.megaupload.com/?f=8F2Z0A43

So, team, how dialogue heavy was this ep? We looking at a tuesday or wednesday release?

Okay, this episode looks amazing...can't wait!

>>38568
Frenchy said it wasn't so bad.

Was wondering why Rubilax was so obedient all the sudden.

Just a reminder guys. Let's try to keep as much episode discussion as possible out of this thread and over in https://plus4chan.org/b/co/res/119867.html.

>>38572
That one's gone the way of the autosage: look here.
https://plus4chan.org/b/co/res/119867.html

Here's the draft script for ep. 8
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wpENPtk4xH0q8P6R9VJbs2o5IAAEhylLYGuqpLUg7zI/edit?authkey=CNCM-cgB#

(derp sorry for previous post and copypaste erroe)

>>38564
So now everyone saying the VA threw a hissy fit can shut the fuck up. I'm glad.

>>38578
*Looks around confused.*
Whose... Everyone exactly?

Though the 4 most likely causes are..
A... Hissy fit over pay
B... Rubilax is going to die
C... He was ill
Or
D... It really was just scripted this way.

>>38579
Some people on /co/. While it's an acceptable hypothesis, the way they were spreading this as undisputable fact was aggravating to me. I don't see a reason to tarnish this guy's reputation just because he doesn't have a role for a few episodes.

>>38579
Having worked in animation myself (just in production, I'm no artist) I can tell you that a hissy fit over pay is pretty damn unlikely. VAs make decent bank no matter what, and it's standard to do negotiations on a per-season basis. He's contracted for a set amount of time, no matter how many episodes, and has to be on-cal for recording sessions during that time (can't work for other people, basically.) His pay wouldn't change if they killed Rubi off or not.

If I had to guess, I'd say it could be either illness (even bad allergies can lay out a VA, if your sinuses are clogged it changes your voice) or some sort of family issue.

Though in truth, my money is on a pre-existing engagement. He most likely just schedule a few weeks of commercial or VO work before he had the Wakfu recording schedule. He can't break those contracts if he wants to keep his reputation intact, so he arranged a brief absence from the show.

That's my two cents on the subject. Also, thanks for the awesome work, translation team.

This question pop ups very often on /co/:

What about season 1 oftimes sucky subs?

Perhaps you guys might consider making an official statement to explain the situation and/or your plans?

>>38583
Nothing is set in stone yet. But here's the idea so far :

- Revision of the whole season 1 to fix a few mistakes and bring consistency in the translations
>100% certain

- Making sub files timed for the DVDs so that people who bought them could read them with subtitles on a computer (also to encourage people to buy DVDs)
>100% certain

- Making whole video episodes with the new subs
>Very likely, depends on the status of licensing and/or potential english DVD release when we will be working on it.

- Using better video sources than the current ones
>If we can find a better video source that is neither DVDrips or VODrip, then yes but right now I don't know if such a source exists.

- WHEN ?
>when the combination of our own IRL lives and the subbing of season 2 will allow us to squeez this project in our schedules.

- Anything else?
>I want to release a text file for each season that will contain translation notes, trivias, FAQs, and everything else that might be relevant for the viewers' interest. I'll try to work on it this week ( to the sub team, yeah, I know, like you've never heard that before :p ... )

To Kennymc or any of the other subbers for the show, I was wondering if perhaps you guys would want another proofreader to help out.
Currently I'm on the comics team, but have plenty of time to spare, toss me an Email if you're interested

>>38584
I didn't want to have to say anything, until I had the necessary resources. However since Frenchy has now made this "Statement of Intent", I'll talk.

I am currently working on redoing the scripts from Season 1. Checking for both consistency and accuracy. I had planned to buy the DVD's (not for ripping Episodes, but more for taking the French Closed Captions and making a French Subtitle Stream, like the great job our French speaking friends have done with Season 2) and the artbooks and use them for final editions of the subs. I'm currently waiting until my Tax Return comes before blowing $250+ on merchandise & shipping.

Once those came in I was planning on taking votes as to what you guys wanted to see in regards to localization (i.e. French it up or Stick to the Bible(artbooks) and English Ankama sites).

Right now I'm kinda torn between my love of the French names (Tristepin, Ombrage, etc.) or being loyal to What Ankama has said they were (Sadlygrove, Shadofang, etc.)

>>38586
I will forever be against the translation of proper names. Just because Tristepin and Ombrage have a meaning in English does not mean it needs to be translated.

Look, we don't call an anime character named Sakura "Cherry Blossom" do we? Then why should we call Tristepin Sadlygrove?

>>38587
Name changes (and i'm not talking about translation, just plain arbitrary changes) from one country to another are VERY common in cartoons. Stick with whatever name was intended for the english dub, just because keeping the french names will look stupid once the official version will be released with english names.

>>38586
>but more for taking the French Closed Captions and making a French Subtitle Stream
If you mean taking the french subtitles for the deaf/hearing impared, do yourself a favor and spare your money, they're useless for what you intend to do. They're usually different/shorter from what is actually said on-screen (which somewhat makes sense if you don't want to steal too much focus from the action). You'll have to rewrite most of the french dialogues from scratch if you want to do what we did on season 2, and you can do that from the existing downloadable files.

If you plan to own the DVDs no matter what, then ignore what I just said.

>>38587
Because the authors say so.

You shouldn't translate names on your own, that's true. But when the person who created those characters comes and says "you should call him/her xxx in English, because I want that name to have a meaning in that language", you should respect that and fricking do so, because he/she is the "father/mother" of that character and therefore has the final and decisive word on it.

>>38586
>>38590
This and also Wakfu is an actual game...
And the English client definitely uses the official English names... And there are clearly meant to be parallels drawn between the game world and the animation.
So you'd be needlessly confusing matters by using the French names over the canon English ones.

>>38591
It's also worth pointing out, there is nothing stopping you finding a clever subtitle trick to put both on top of each other if you really cannot choose between them.

>>38587
>1) download softsub version
>2) edit script it with names you like
>3) ???
>4) PROFIT!!

problem solved.

>>38588
Yeah, just like the Pokemon, Detective Conan, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, One Piece, Card Captor Sakura, and other shows with namechangs in their dubs have fansubs who use the dub names.

Oh wait, they don't, because that's the point of an uncut sub.

*shrug* Angry reaction much? I was just voicing an opinion. I realize the creators have a certain intention but I personally disagree with it. I wouldn't want my actual name to be called something else when I'm in a different language speaking country. I carry that same sentiment with me for fictional characters.

But we can agree to disagree, I am always free to edit the subtitle tracks myself.

Quit gettin' mad over names.

It's silly.

>>38595
Nobody's angry at you, we only disagree.

In my opinion, being against OFFICIAL translated names is kinda weird. Especially when your argument is "I disagree with the creators". I understand you can like something or not, but not accepting someone's work of fiction by arguing, that you have a better idea? It's like trying to convince with Neil Gaiman that "Dream Man" would be a better title for his "Sandman" comics. He is the author, he knows what he wants, you have to deal with it. You can pretend that those names do not exist, but they do and it's much easier just to accept reality. There is nothing wrong with using the name Tristepin in conversation with people who know who do you mean, I do so myself from time to time, but the goal of this fansubbing project was to keep everything as close to the official version as possible - and that means using the name Sadlygrove.

>>38594
Yes, many "uncut" subs have original names, but how many of those names that were changed in the dub were proposed by the show's authors themselves, like in Wakfu's case? Any at all? It's the creator's law to name characters as he wants and we have no say in that. We may not like it, but we have to accept the facts. And the facts are: Sadlygrove and Shadofang are how those characters will be called in the (hopefully) upcoming English dub - and it's because the authors themselves want it this way, not because some stupid network thought it's gonna be a swell idea to rewrite everything.

If you want to be mad at names, check the German dub. Everyone got butchered without one single reason - Amalia became Amaya, Evangelyne became Angelya, Tristepin/Sadlygrove became Tristamax (English version, no matter if you like it or not, at least keeps the pun in his name - the German doesn't, so the change is absolutely retarded).

>>38597
But my issue isn't with authors picking one arbitrary name vs another, so I don't think using Gaiman as an example really fits. My issue is with authors creating a name and then deciding to translate some but not all the names for a different audience.

>>38597
Nintendo themselves come up with the Pokemon English names, not the network or the dubbers. Same with Yu-Gi-Oh and Konami. Only exception might be anime-only characters but I'm not sure.

I doubt Wakfu will be dubbed in English (well, for America; maybe another English speaking country) and if it is, we'll probably get dub-only releases like Code Lyoko and Oban Star Racers got and no uncut sub available on the DVDs. I'd say if the dub wants to use that name, then it's their call, but if you're subbing the original show, it's kinda stupid to use 'Sadlygrove' when you clearly hear them say 'Tristepin'. People will watch the original for the original; like foreign films and whatnot. I coulda sworn I saw a sub use Tristepin one time in a livestream, but I guess whoever subbed that dropped the show and there's only one person doing it now.

>>38597
> Tristamax

Well, I guess whatever we do we can't really beat that.

To keep it short, I have mixed feelings about the issue but I guess the official translations win at the end of the day. I'd have been more tempted to go in favor of the French names if we didn't already have all the subs (or almost) using the English ones that the subbers knew of at the time.

Another option we have is making more than one subtitle track, just like the softsub of season 2 is getting both French and English subs at the same time with every released episode. One track with the original names kept intact, one with all known official translations used and one with French subtitles should please everybody. It's not that much additional work 'cause it would only require replacing a few words here and there in the existing translation (like changing gobbal to bouftou) to make it work.

Anyone against?

WakFortress 2: Meet the Kamando

It's a Mad, Massachusetts/Maine, Marathon Monday as Patriots Day has set in, class is out, and it is almost impossible to enter the greater Boston area without having to delegate through several layers of safety regulations filled with eager fans and cardio enthusiasts wanting to catch a glimpse of the action.

However, it is with deep and astoundingly rage-fraught sadness that I have come to realize that not every state observes this holiday involving American Revolutions, Veteran Sneakers, and the occasionally inexplicable Kilt, and as such I intend to remedy that with the most sacred and timeless of Holiday Icons:

The Kamando

After all, nothing puts people into the spirit of running for the manifestation of a better, freer, and more importantly existent tomorrow (and their lives), not to mention the fear of God, than the sight of an agile, enraged, armed and dangerous old man with a taste for blood money and the voice of Wolf O' Donnel (Rick May) who will catch you if you do not run like a Cheetah wearing Rocket Boots, and even that may not be enough!

To complete the experience, feel free to partake in some Boston Cream Cake (because they are not pies, The Pie is a filly lie, damnit!) while watching the accompanying video while wearing your preferred bodily protection garment (running shoes optional).

I'm pretty proud of this one, made it a little ways before the Meet the hEva video, but it's certainly the most action-packed of the bunch!

If nothing else, it's more Valve stuff to tide you Steamy plus4chan Studs over until Portal 2 is released this week (2morrow, can you count it!). And who knows? You might see another Portal totting Playah' soon, just, a lot more egotistical and deranged than what you're used to.

Special thanks to Watt for the 'Meet the Kamando' title card.

And Successful Businessman?

You were incredibly awesome with the Demomalia and Noxineer title cards, and the Noxineer will be released soon.

It is so good, that I am beside myself, and looking at me funny.

Best lip syncing I've ever done, and I'm sure YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!

Though the coming 'Meet the Chell' (Yugo) is also pretty awesome.

1. Nobody but Shock suggested doing to sub tracks. I personally would rather see the team save time and effort and just do one track. As I said earlier, people like myself can edit the tracks for any names we want to change.
2. You are confusing the people from 4chan who wander in here and troll the team with people like myself.

>>38601
Completely against. Waste of time, and would lead to much confusion.

>>38601
Against too.
It'll end up being confusing. I mean, HD version already has 3 subtitle tracks you can choose from. Not to mention the additional work it'd bring. Yeah, making another subtitle track isn't that much of a work... Still, after 3 days spent working on those, it's becoming quite a hassle.

As it's been said before, whoever want to change something in the subs can easily do it themselves. That's what softsubs are made for. And all original names are in the French transcript subtitle track.

Speaking of the "translate or not translate the names" matter, we only translate the names when:
- There's an official translation given by Ankama at the time we make the subs.
- The name has a special meaning we want to convey in English (Razortemps => Razortime).
Other than that, the names are kept in their original French version.

Well, I'm happy with whatever you guys decide, as long as you keep delivering those outstanding quality subs, the wonderful people you are.

By the way - could you guys point me in a direction of a good program for subtitles editing? I might try something, but I'm not sure what is good and what is crap.

>>38607
I use Aegisub => http://www.aegisub.org/

Thanks, I'll try that one. Hope I won't make my PC go kaboom (yeah, I'm so very talented).

Wow! I expected maybe a post or two, but not a deluge.

>>38589
I'd figured as much, closed captions are almost always not equivalent to what's being said on screen. I'd still buy the DVD, just to have it though. It was only a thought, as I didn't want to bother Frenchy or anyone else to do 26 ep's worth of Transcription.

So probably no French subs track. Maybe add an untranslated names sub track(for you purists out there)?

As for the name changes. That's where the artbooks would come in handy. They're written in both English and French & they come directly from Ankama. Granted only Episodes 1-9 & the Nox Special could be done with any certainty as of now, but whether Ankama ever gets around to making the rest of them, they'd still be useful.


Pic related. Ombrage=Shadofang. Word of God.

and apparently Gonard is called McDeek.

>>38611
So I guess you could call that episode a Scrooge McDeek fight?

>>38612
http://instantrimshot.com/

>>38610
>>38611
Totally offtopic, but is there any ETA on a new artbook? Te next one should cover the Gobbowl/Boufbowl arc, so you can imagine my impatience and excitement.

>>38606
The only exceptions to these rules, would be for consistency's sake, when a name was given to a character by the previous teams, before the official version was released. Hence sticking with "Grovy" instead of "Dally" and "Ombrage" instead of "Shadowfang"

>>38586
Why would a name be translated in a subtitle, though? This isn't a dub so I never got the point of subtitling a name that won't be used for anything other than a dub.

You're aware that all these talks won't change a thing to Ankama's or the sub team's choices, right ?

Deal with it or refer to>>38593

/debate

>>38611
>Ombrage=Shadowfang
>Gonard=McDeek

In the German dub they're Schattenklaue (Shadowclaw) and Bertdago (pun on Dagobert the German name for Scrooge McDuck).

>>38597

>If you want to be mad at names, check the German dub. Everyone got butchered without one single reason - Amalia became Amaya, Evangelyne became Angelya, Tristepin/Sadlygrove became Tristamax (English version, no matter if you like it or not, at least keeps the pun in his name - the German doesn't, so the change is absolutely retarded).

Hell, I'm probably the first guy who posted about the German names on 4chan and still hate them with a burning passion, but I can see at least some reason as to the changes - Mainly the fact that the show, especially the German dub, is very clearly directed at little kids, and those can't really be bothered to learn how to properly pronounce French names. So they butchered their names into something that is written the exact same way it would be pronounced by the average German native speaker. And then there's Yugo becoming Yago, since "Jugo" (pronounced like Yugo) is a derogatory term for natives of Yugoslavia, carrying definite racist undertones.

>>38618
I understand the move, but that sounds so bad. Why not just Hugo if they wanted to keep it similar? *sigh*

>>38618
Did Ankama choose the local German names or some localization team for the German dub?

>>38619
>Why not just Hugo if they wanted to keep it similar?
Urgh... I would take ten Yagos before even considering that abomination of a name...

Ep.8 subs status update:
Proofreading and timings are just finished. Considering what's left to do, expect the release Tuesday during the day.

Thanks man! Keep up the good work!

I've translated the english draft script to german, maybe anyone is interested in: http://bit.ly/eyixNl

>>38620

No idea, honestly. Well, their profiles on the German version of the Wakfu page show the new names, so I guess Ankama at least gave their consent.

>>38621

I fully agree with this sentiment. Hugo sounds stupid. Not sure about Germany, but here in Austria it's used as a mild insult at times, equal to something like "dolt". It also reminds me of Jungeldyret (or Hugo das Dschungeltier as it's called here).

>Ep.8 subbed release update:
Uploading at the moment. Release in an hour or so, depending -as always- on how much Mirror Creator's uploader will feel like bitching today.

As always a gigantic thank you to the subbers.
I always feel so bad I cannot help out more

subbing team....we <3 you

You are great! Thanks for your hard work, I know how much time is needed to sub one episode! Many Thanks!

Oh the tweeeests.

thank you very very much!!

The clothes part was fucking hilarious. Especially the lines about nakedness. :3

Oh, and repeating Anonymous above: TWEESTS. :D

As always, massive Thanks to you brave, noble Subbers for saving me from having to learn french

What indeed? xD!

They have thrown us the gauntlet. We must pick it up.

Artists! To your Easels!

Goddammit, Lud0.

Sooooo, Sadlygrove has seen Evangelyne completely naked huh? What's more, she probably did it willingly, I can gather from her behavior.

Kids show, everyone.

Also, Rubilax gonna get butraped

God dammit, I forgot to mention they've had sex

PRE-MARITAL SEX, MIND YOU!!!

So, when's this series coming to america? I mean, officially.

>>38643
Part of me wants to think they just played doctor or maybe got to second base; based on the fact that Grovy was just so utterly clueless about sex and being explained it then participating it in the short amount of time they've had would shatter his fragile Iop mind.
