Not what you think. It's the video-storyboard of the "Grougaloragran the Eternal" episode.

However, it includes the Goultard special (the Inside Ankama with Ancestral Z and the episode itself) as a secret bonus.

There is also an interview of the VAs (the main cast except Thomas Guitard who voices Tristepin)

I would LOVE to buy the DVD... If it had english subtitles. My French is terrible and it will take much, MUCH (a couple of years actually) more learning before I could comprehend it enough to enjoy Wakfu without any translation. Anyone knows if Ankama is planning to put subtitles on any DVD?

I really hoped we'd get some better quality episodes here, cause the last ones you guys subtitled (HD eps 24-26) look simply gorgeous. But I'm not gonna complain if you guys think it's not possible (I mean trouble with ripping) or worth your time to redo all of season one. Im thankful enough for what I got. Still, you can imagine my desire to get those shiny, HD episodes in my hands...

No.31834
>>31833
The main problem is having a HD source.
We had the last three episodes in HD simply because they first aired when France 3 started broadcasting in HD.
They are currently re-airing season 1 but on another channel from the same group, France 4, which unfortunately isn't in HD.

Also, they seem to have protected their VOD streams against recording/downloading. So unless some stream wizard with mad computer slillz finds a way to bypass these protections, the best we have for episodes 1-23 are the DVDs.

No.31835
One thing that could be done also is making subtitles files to be loaded manually while watching the DVDs.
I know it would be quite unpractical (like, only doable on a computer, not a standalone DVD player) but at least you get to support Ankama by buying the DVDs from them.
What do you think ?

No.31836
>>31835
Hey, that would suit me just fine! Do we have any subtitles that are in sync with the DVD version?

No.31837
>>31836
I don't think we have them readily aviable, but that shouldn't be too hard to make. I managed to have Media Player classic play an episode from the DVD with added subtitles from a separate file, but it took a few tweaks in the settings. Nothing too complicated though, we could provide a step by step guide on how to do it.

The two main issues I see are :

- Checking if the DVDs can be read outside of Europe. I admit I don't know shit about what is and what isn't possible through softwares to bypass DVD region restrictions. From the box set inscriptions, the Wakfu DVDs are supposed to be Region 2 and PAL format. Anyone more knowledgable care to enlighten us ?

- Finding someone to actually do the job (rewriting all the scripts and timing each sentence to fit the DVDs)

No.31838
>>31837
>Region 2 and PAL format

Region 2 is Europe. USA and Canada are Region 1. What this means is you need a Region 2 DVD player to play Region 1 disks. Alternatively, you can get a region-free DVD player which will play any disk, or look up if your DVD player can be made region-free (it's like a secret code you punch in, but DVD players have them). Because most DVD players can be made region-free, it's not that big of a deal.

PAL is like NTSC: a different kind of video formatting. NTSC runs at 29.97 FPS while PAL is 25. You can't tell the difference, but when movies are converted from one to another frames are duplicated/removed so that the soundtrack can keep up with the video. There is also a difference in aspect ratio. Ask a movie buff about this, or ask Wikipedia. NTSC players have problems playing PAL video, but PAL players can, for the most part, play NTSC video.

Newer computer DVD drives usually enforce region codes at the hardware level, but you can get around this in a variety of ways. Open-source software usually ignores region coding. Burning a backup copy of the disk can allow you to make a region-free disk. If you rip a digital copy it will obviously have whatever parameters you set.

Basically, regions are dildoes. Most of what I wrote here is lifted from Wikipedia, but I've experienced region lock-out when trying to view movies from Russia. Because piracy is so rampant in Russia, it's pretty easy to get a free digital copy or buy an illegal region-free DVD at a market.

No.31839
>>31838
Regions are also the reason why an American PS2 can't play Japanese games unless you mod it.

Most Blu-Ray disks are made to be region-free (but not all!). All but a few PS3 games are region-free, which is not true for the 360 which is why you can't play games like IDOLM@STER unless you have a Japanese 360. (I guess you have to know Japanese too, but that's not a product issue!)

I don't know how involved a process it would be but I think if you wanted to get English subs for the DVD, the procedure would be to re-time the fansubs, offer them as a separate file, and then give instructions on how to rip the DVD so that it's playable on all players (but not offer the rips themselves)

That of course makes it trivial for someone to rip the media, and put them in a container with the subs, but that makes it both stealing from Ankama and the people who made the subs.

I think that if you want to support Ankama you should buy stuff from their store, and/or get Islands of Wakfu for 360 when it comes out. If the "making of wakfu" books are as awesome as the Dofus2.0 artbook, then they are totally worth getting.

re: Faor: the gameplay might be like Dofus, but it's entirely re-flavored as more generic fantasy. the races are Humans, Wood Elves, Gnomes/Dwarves, Orks, and the Dark Races.

> DVD timed subtitles:
As far as I know, the DVDs have French subtitles included. If somebody can at least rip these subs files, I wouldn't mind turning them into English.

>HD
Getting VOD episodes and releasing them DRM free would be the same as ripping the DVDs; and this is something we agreed not to do.
There's no other HD source so far. My bet is France 3 will probably have a Wakfu rerun at least once before they start airing season 2. But we can't know when (and if) this will happen.

I can also re-release season 1 with softsubs using the slightly better raws being aired on Ankama.com at the moment. But then again I need subs files. I do have some I can extract from softsubbed episodes I have; but I'm missing episodes 7 to 15 since I could only get them hardsubbed.

So guys? What do we do?

No.31848
>>31847
Translating the ripped subtitles to English seems the simplest solution. So the question we have to ask now is: who has the DVDs and could rip those subs for us?

I'm from Europe, so i don't have to rip any DVDs, I only need subtitles. But to help guys out in US and Canada we should consider this:
>the procedure would be to re-time the fansubs, offer them as a separate file, and then give instructions on how to rip the DVD so that it's playable on all players (but not offer the rips themselves)
While trying to avoid this:
>That of course makes it trivial for someone to rip the media, and put them in a container with the subs, but that makes it both stealing from Ankama and the people who made the subs.

No.31849
>>31848

Ok, that's not exactly what I meant, so I'll rephrase. I never said I wanted to avoid/prevent that from happening. There's no way we can prevent anyone from doing it, no matter what we do (or don't). Releasing the sub-files might save him time, but it's not like he couldn't have done it anyway by himself from the existing subbed AVIs.

What I said is that I want to give a solution to those who want to support Ankama by purchasing the DVDs but can't understand the french dub.

Do people really use pencil and line tools to ink in Flash?… Why?
Seriously, i was inking in Flash ever since i learned what "inking" means and i barely used anything but brush.

I work quite a long time in flash and it is true that when you make images it might seem to be better to draw with brush (and tablet preferably), but for animation style like manga it is better to use lines and then fill...

Okay... I am going to be honest - that kinda sucks... Not like the whole Wakfu is animated with just that...

Sorry for the LONG and unannounced absence, apparently a storm seriously fucked up my computer and I had to run out and pick up an entirely new one.
Thankfully, I had already backed up all my computer's data onto a portable hard drive so nothing was lost for the project. Now that we have those dialogue-less rips, all we really need are the VA's(which are going to be pretty hard to find).

So far this is the list of potential VA's that we have on the roster:

Ginger pally named
Baron de Pencier
MMouse

I also received emails from several individuals about how they were interested in the project and that they'd email me back later on but they've either lost interest in the project or they've been on a very long absence. We have a total of about 4-5 people so far that would be willing to help out, including myself. So yeah, the VA section isn't looking very bright...

I don't want to give up now since there was a decent amount of effort put into this project from a lot of you guys but we need to find someone who has "connections" and that would be willing to help. Also, I'm fairly certain that my supposed female friend VA won't be able to help with the project because of her busy work schedule.
