Awesome, in that case I think we can announce it to the world! This is the current release plan as I see it over the next three months:

v0.0 - "Shadow Signs" - Coming August 2011
A movie version of the main story based on the patch for those who don't want to play the whole game.

v0.1 - "Terror Infection" - Coming October 2011
A basic main story patch that covers all the manga scenes and FMVs, and enough conversations for you to understand the gist of the major plotlines. Game text, emails, and non-essential events in the main story (even some Schicksal bosses) will be excluded. Basically the same thing as Shadow Signs but playable, with 100% of the animated scenes included, and with better editing on the translation.

That sounds like a fair and reasonable timeline.

Fancy names too

I hope so. If anything I tried to overestimate the time to ensure there's no rush.

Yeah, thought it would add some flavor to the project. 100% will be "Reborn Link".

october o___o thats the month of my birth x3, (i love to get .hack relating with myself) seriously we, the fans, cant even get to thank you guys not even 1 bit that you deserve, i mean, you guys do deserve like a trophy and lots of cash o.o

Your thanks is all we can accept and is appreciated.

Kuukai, instead how about for 100% we call it link's awakening, confuse the **** out of people.

We could, although it's actually part of a pattern I thought up for the major releases. After Terror Infection would come Mirage Mutation. And so on until Link is "Reborn". .hack was cool in that there are 8 canon game titles and 8 phases, two sets of things that sort of escalate in seriousness as you move forward. So rather than an Ubuntu or Android-style alphabetical pattern, it uses a more .hack-ish ordering scheme. Admittedly I ripped off the idea from MGS4. Shadow Signs is a "missing number", like Cubia and the Guardians of SIGN it's outside of the standard pattern, and like SIGN it's not playable. We'd have a couple of other standbys like Enemy or fragment for anything else weird we decide to do...

Anyway, I'm fine whatever we decide to name it, just something weird I came up with walking to work. Tentatively the others would be something like:
Propagating Outbreak
Prophetic Quarantine
Machinations of Rebirth
Bewitching Reminiscence
Avenger Redeemed

Just wanted to say that this project has my 100% moral support. Go fantranslation!

I think that is a great idea for the naming convention I was just making a Zelda joke, Although "a link to the past" would be a more fitting joke name considering the time travel element to this game.

Also we have been tweeted by the dothackers twitter.

Ooooh, I just got the joke...

Facebook too!

If you're truly going to use that naming pattern thingy, i'd rather vote for "Tempting Reminisce" and "Avenging Redemption" for the last 2 titles instead of the ones mentioned. I just think they would be more fitting, retaining the original titles while still making a spiffy word that means something.

Also, i think i love you.
Both of you.
Jussaying.

How about 'Avenger's Redemption' ?

Avenger's Redemption sounds good but how about Avenger's Atonement or Avenger's Deliverance.
I was wondering will the avenger thing be the final version of the patch?


Please click on these dragons to make them grow

Thanks a lot

Yeah, if anything I'd take more liberties with the names rather than less. Like Raging Raven and Laughing Octopus it sounds better...

Linked Satisfaction !

Thanks in Advance.

hooray! 1 more thing to look forward to this year. thanks for the translations!
