Kouryuu: The process itself wasn’t very much different from our typical localization process at MangaGamer. What was the translation/editing process like for DC3R? Were there any issues to overcome along the way?.Kouryuu was very helpful when it came to answering questions about the game’s setting and the like whenever such a situation arose. Besides a short segment at the end, Da Capo 3 is a standalone title. Now that I think about it, it’s probably time I get back and finish that game now that Da Capo 3 is about to be released.
DA CAPO 3 R WALKTHROUGH SIDE EPISODES SERIES
I only read Da Capo 2’s common route in order to familiarize myself a bit with the setting and tone that the series was trying to achieve before starting to work on Da Capo 3. I enjoy reading slice-of-life stories for a nice change of pace and Da Capo 3 was right up my alley, so I figured that despite it being such a long title it would hold my interest quite well. I enjoyed the cute art and moe appeal so I naturally gravitated toward this title when given the chance to work on it. My first time being exposed to the series was a few years ago while reading a Megami Magazine I had purchased online. I know I at least had a few mixed feelings going in myself, but ultimately I wanted to protect and share the charm of this very heartwarming series.ĮldritchCherub: I already had some knowledge of the Da Capo series when I was asked if I wanted to work on Da Capo 3 from time browsing the internet and anime forums. So it was hard for me to see myself letting someone else work on the series, and when the offer finally came in at MangaGamer, a lot of others balked away at the sheer length of the project too. So at its core the series really does happy romance and slice of life well.Īfter enjoying Da Capo 2 myself, I had a chance during one anime expo to actually sit down with many of the creators from Circus and share stories with them over food and drinks. Da Capo 2, and really the series as a whole, has a lot of traits that may seem typical to the genre of romantic, slice of games now, but it’s worth remembering this is a series that helped set those standards, and it shows with how strongly each game in the series focuses on the characters and the interactions that build up over time to establish the relationships that become the character routes. I personally handled the common route and true ending, and after release went on to play the entire game.
The first time I actually played anything in the series though, was Da Capo 2, around 2010, when I was first assigned to work on it. It was a title that came up as something fairly well known in the early VN and eroge scene, because it was one of the many contributors to the early tropes, stereotypes, and characteristics of moe along with Key’s early games. Kouryuu: I’d actually known of the Da Capo series since around the first years of the new millennium. How did you find out about the Da Capo series and what made you want to work on it? Now that we’ve gotten introductions out of the way, time for some questions for you.The upcoming release of Da Capo 3 R is my most recent one completed, but prior to that I also worked on titles like ClockUp’s Eroge, and OVERDRIVE’s DEARDROPS. I’m MangaGamer’s Head Translator and PR Director, so I’ve worked on a lot of different titles and do a lot of little things here and there at MangaGamer too. Kouryuu: Hello, I’m John Pickett, though some may know me better by online handle, Kouryuu. I’ve worked on Tokyo Babel, Da Capo 3, and the yet to be released, D.S. I currently have a Bachelors of Arts in Creative Writing and enjoy reading all sorts of visual novels. I’m going for a degree in Mass Communications and should be graduating next semester, so I’m looking forward to that as well as to the release of Da Capo 3 R! /prtalkĮldritchCherub: My name is Jonathan Burgos, but I prefer to go by EldritchCherub in the visual novel community. I’m half of the current ownership of The Drastik Measure and I enjoy visual novels. Lolinia: I’m Jonathan Phelps, known more as TaisiHyuuga or Lolinia. Just in case someone reading doesn’t know who you all and myself are, let’s introduce ourselves. *insert laughter here* However, today, I bring you the MangaGamer team behind Da Capo 3 R! I’m with EldritchCherub, and Kouryuu. It’s been a while since I last did any interviews that weren’t on stream. For the review about this game, please click HERE.
