Hey Matt.

You want to just split this volume in half?

I know keeping typefaces is important. We should try keeping them the same throughout all 3 volumes as much as possible, I think.

We could make a list of which typefaces to us.

Normal speech:
Thoughts:
Info boxes:
Notes(?):
Signs:

etc...

I will clean through page 88 of Volume 3.

I gotta look at the DMG Localizing guidelines to check the fonts. I know they supplied them, just gotta figure out which one goes with which.

Okay, those sound good. Very good. ^^

You're going to have your own book done before mine, so if you run into any others, just let me know!

o.O Wild words just has regular, italics, and bold italics.... bold italics looks nice. But whatever you want.

How goes typesetting on clumsy child? I'll just go with what you've done for it.

waiting on the proofing so I haven't started the typesetting part yet. If ya want me to use wild words, I don't really care either way.

If it's due on the first, we may have to ask for an extension, but no biggie. It's just a matter putting the words in at this moment and I honestly can't tell how long that will take. There really isn't a whole lot of text and sfx so it may still be doable, but *shrugs* we'll see :P

Chapter Titles - Lucida Sans Unicode (should be available on any windows machine as a default installed font.

This is the closest font I could match to the numbers (we can discuss after I get done with the first chapter ect.

Right now I'm testing a few items. Once I get the proof I'll be able to get crackin :)

Alright, I've cleaned through page 88 of volume 3. Has the edit for this been completed? I know I missed the completion of the first one so I'm just checking :P

If it's done, I will start typesetting through 88 on this one :)

Matthew, I've sent you Son of Mimura. Once I'm done with Clumsy Child I'm going to look through SoM again and I'll let you know of any changes. Again, feel free to email me any questions.

Beginning of February. I'm not sure if an extension was requested yet, but considering I haven't even been able to start my half.... we'll need it. :(

Still 114 pages of Newborn star to typeset...

At my current pace, I should have the first half of this volume (first 88 pages) done by the end of the month. If I get more free time as I suspect I may, it may be done by the end of next week.

I should have the first chapter up for review over the weekend and the second shortly after that.

Matthew, just let me know if you feel an extension is needed. I'm also going to go through SoMF again since I was more focused on the other two volumes and I want to make sure I didn't miss any mistakes.

did we get an extension on this one too? I know it was requested for each one (at least I thought it was). I will have the first half done by the end of the week; but I know caves working butt off to get the other volume done and likely won't have the 2nd half (but I'm not sure the due date so I could be off).

on page 56,

I went with 'min mi min min' for the cicada sound effects versus 'sing'. min min min appears to be a common SFX used for cicada's especially in summer and I think it sounds pretty close to what I've heard on the east coast of the U.S. (different species but they sound similar).

hm in Newborn Star there are several uses of cicada noises and they were all translated as "ming". o.O

that should work just as well. There are various ones that are used depending on the season and area (who know? *shrugs*). I like min because when you listen to them here on the east coast, it's a really low buzz and min sounds like a power line buzzing much like the cicada.

I got 13 pages fully cleaned and 1 semi-cleaned but really hard redraws. (Will probably just do it after putting text in... >.>). At least I feel like I've been able to put a dent in this volume.

Alright, drafts are currently uploading and should be completed in 4 hours >_> assuming they all make it from time of this post.

chapter draft 1 and 3 are small and will come down quickly. I completely forgot to resize chapter two so it's full size in png format....sorry.

Ok I just went over the drafts and here's what I found...

Well the first thing I'll bring up is the biggest thing and I wish I had noticed it in Clumsy Child but you have been using faux bold and faux italics instead of actual bolditalics? hm? :P Here's the difference: http://i44.tinypic.com/2888lg3.jpg

Here's the list:

014: last line in bubble isn't centered
025: missing translation (teeny handwriting outside of box on the left)
033: "well, so just a thought" to something else?
035: "There's" to "There are"?
050: dash looks weird o.O
064: "Suites" to "suits"

The other thing I found... which I only saw on pages 41 and 51 but I haven't -really- looked for it elsewhere is the "s" in the words "crows" (41) and "Toshi (51) have some kind of weird artifact stretching from the letter itself. I have no idea what it's from. o_O It's weird.

Also that dash on page 50... is it because of the specific kind of dash used or something?

I use the wild words BOLD for the bold version as the Faux bold reverts back to just basic WW's whenever I use it.

I do use the faux italics though. I'll check those changes tomorrow.

I think it was part of the DMG fonts they gave us because I use not to have it as well. If you don't find it there, let me know and I can shoot the font over to you.

So the 's' artifact was fixed. That is actually an artifact in the wild words bold font. That's very strange. Changing it to regular wild words removes it and it's only on the 's'.

I guess that will rule out using wild words bold for future projects, though I think I've fallen out of love with that font anyway. Maybe we could switch to Anime Ace for future projects? Or something that may work better all around.

All other changes have been made minus the translation on page 25. Once I get that it'll get updated.

That is very strange. :/ I don't have the font I don't think... I did add all their fonts but it's not on my list.

We can use something else but it needs to have all the characters we need (like the ellipses "...") and both an italic and bold (or bold-italic) version. Which I'm not sure Anime Ace has. Blambot is a wonderful place for fonts anyway. I think I'll take a look through some and see what looks good.

awesome :)

I plan on uploading the first 88 pages to the "Finalized" folder if there are no other changes in the drafts I put up. Of course, I can still make changes :P but they'll at least be there.

Brittany (my wife) has had a couple of issues this past week so I've been a little stressed and overwhelmed with a few things (everything is good with her and baby though). So any changes should come through quickly but I want them up there in case my absent mindedness returns in a flurry of OMG everything is happening at once moment :P

She's due April 23rd, assuming she doesn't force her way out any earlier which is what it's starting to look like. here's hoping she's not in that much of a hurry, we still got a couple of months to go.
