One of my ambitions is to expand from fansubbing Anime, and make a move into the world of Visual Novels. And after recent developments, this is no longer a dream, but a possibility.
The first project we will be working on is Tomoyo After. Doki has many translators, but all are involved in translating anime.
I am seeking one (or more) translator(s) dedicated specifically to translating Tomoyo After. You will be provided with the Japanese text to translate from. You can email me if you are interested, or go on our IRC channel and find me or Cruxis (Supreme Receptionist of the Doki VN Department).
Cruxis edit: I am also looking for a person who completed this Visual Novel and can provide me some necessary resources. Find me in #doki.
Later I will be recruiting a number of “testers” to play the patched game, for debugging purposes.
There will be no “public” release until the entire project is complete.
Edit: A small update about how we will deal with the release, which shouldn’t be too far away. The only thing we will release officially, ie, via this blog, is the patch itself. We will NOT be releasing the actual game (iso or otherwise), for obvious reasons. You will have to find a copy of the game yourself. If you idle on #doki, I am sure someone will be able to help you.

I just noticed that baka-tsuki is still listed as the english translation for tomoyo after on vndb, shouldn’t this be doki? Or is it because the only patch currently available is from baka-tsuki even though it’s only partial?
Or am I missing something completely? xD
I would assume that this is because Baka-Tsuki is the only ‘group’ to have released so much as a partial patch. Once the final patch is out, I’m sure someone will make the change to Doki.
I gotta admit, that MAD piece was hilarious. They have my respect for going with it. Now, if only they added Trope-tan…
Also, it’s great to hear news finally. I’ll be waiting…
The magic number is now 37. One can almost hear the clock ticking before the news bulletin!
Checked back to the website after about a week break from checking it twice a day for news and I see that CM said something about speaking this “news” about Tomoyo After. Now my habit of refreshing this website has come back 20 times over. I’m too excited for this patch!
On a side note, in the spirit of Clannad, I fixed up the KEY music collections over at Bakabt. Clannad now has its own personal torrent for both FLAC and MP3 for those who want good quality. AIR is completed as well, gotta finish out Kanon and then put up Little Busters when the anime is released then KEY is fully put up! Viva la’ CLANNAD!
Thanks for checking back with us SaitoHajime! I sincerely hope you will not be disappointed.
Also, I made some updates to the ‘Ultimate Key Daikazoku Collection’ which you might be interested in looking at. While I personally support purchasing the soundtracks and enjoying them as such, I know that such a statement will be ignored by many; nonetheless, I feel it is important to have a continuously updated and complete record of Key audio for the benefit of my own use as well as that of anyone else who might find it useful. Enjoy reviewing the updates!

so did they give up on it or something its been translating for how many yearS?
You haven’t been paying attentiont to what the Clannad Man has been posting have you? No it’s not dropped you silly goose you! It’s more alive than ever.
“… you silly goose you!”
Oh the lulz~!
no it has been out for like 7 years? vndb said 35 percent since 2011…….
Just over one for us, actually. And realistically, only 5 full months starting in January. We’ve made good progress, no?
Unless you mean the project since being conceived in 2005. In that case, yes, it has been years. There is a reason this VN translation project has been labeled as ‘cursed’ and ‘the unfinishable project’ by many. Not for much longer though.
ok that is good i really do NOT want to play it it was kick ass until that kid came in we didn’t get to fuck anymore do you have sex AFTER she comes because wherer i gave up we didn’t do anything which fuckin ruined the ENTIRE thing for me………. i wish there was an option “don’t let (forgot name) stay with you”
no spoiler, okay?
don’t read, okay?

I’m not sure this qualifies towards the 1,000 comments. But meh, whatevs.
^Oh dear i accidentally click the ‘post comment’ button.$&&$& iphone
And that’s not a cunning way to race towards the 1,000 comment mark? Yeah, right. 😛
Just for that, I’m going to respond to each one of these comments before the update is posted.
Pbthhhhh!!
=P
See, you admit it! 2 Comments deducted from Dokindor!
… you know, Harry Potter? Nvm.
I don’t care how good/bad this game is.
I just want more ~*~Tomoyo~*~
It’s a Key game and it’s in the Clannad Series, odds are it’s going to be ridiculously good 😛
No. It’s all about TOMOYO, TOMOYO, and moar TOMOYO.
Everything about Tomoyo goodness. Nothing else. ( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡
Well, Index has spoken. Guess that’s another vote for more Tomoyo pictures over the patch release. Plenty of Tomoyo goodness then!
There, Tomoyo pictures for every taste! Here at Doki, we aim to please!
A supporter of the game. Excellent! Looks like we’ll release the game after all.
Of course it’s good. Ye of little faith! This is produced by Key and written by Jun Maeda. Expect everything you’d normally get from him.
Sure, there’s the inconvenient addition of a little porn, but I assume we’re all adult enough not to be offended by it.
~
Actually, I’d assumed that everyone waiting eagerly here will already have been through the game with third-rate japanese word-recognition and a dictionary.
Or am I just impatient and obsessed? :S
Oh, I think the game will be good. The only Maeda work I’ve disliked is Angel Beats!, and I feel that was because he was trying to write a VN as an anime and lost focus.
I’m just saying I don’t care how good it is because Tomoyo <3
You DISLIKED Angel Beats? And here I thought a ‘wind fish’ was strange. Kind of makes sense, now that I think about it.
Here’s some more Tomoyo:
Guess we’ll need to post Tomoyo Pictures and the patch (eventually) to make everyone happy.
http://www.zeldadungeon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Wind_Fish.png
😀
Judging by the amount of posting you’ve had here over the past few weeks, I’d say you’re a tad bit obsessed. But hey, that’s fine. We all are!
I wonder what would happen if instead of releasing the game Doki posted pictures of Tomoyo instead…
There. All done!
Was about to go to sleep, thanks to clannad man, I managed to see some lovely pictures of tomoyo before heading to dream land! Not to mention have a good laugh from some of the posts here xD
Human requirement to play this game:
Like tomoya
Prepare for sadness endings(so you wont kill yourself)
Interested in reading(Not just here for the hcgs translate)
An 18+ maturity(mental age)(Because you expect some eechi)
Actually, I think that people who don’t like Tomoya might still be ok. Hopefully, the course of the VN will convince people that he’s not such a bad guy. 🙂
… Or were you talking about Tomoyo? That would seem redundant, given that you list these as ‘human’ requirements, and disliking Tomoyo isn’t really compatible with humanity :P.
. . .
Agreed on the other points though.
haha good one 😀
I think if someone said otherwise, said person might get hurt…
Oops what is wrong with me today,unable to tell the difference between tomoyo and tomoya.I failed as a clannad fan
It happens. I’ve miswritten too. It happens to the best of us, so don’t beat yourself up over it.
Why did Mr. Maeda have to use reverse-Latin endings for his character’s names?
Well, since Tomoyo is YOU, it would really suck if you hated yourself, no?
Is this another case of mispelling? 😛
The VN is shown in Tomoya’s perspective.
You’re good! XD
I am indeed looking forward to this patch, I’m stuck waiting for 2 patches and the release of a VN adapted to English at the moment. No one is giving dates and it’s just ahhhh, check everyday.
On a side note it seems they are releasing Clannad part 1 (ep 1-12)on DVD in the UK. =P
Nice on Clannad being released in the UK.
As for your first comment… well…
Well that’s interesting (at the MAD piece. I originally thought it was a TV show on Cartoon Network for the little kids.
On another note: I was skimming through channels yesterday and saw an advertisement on Cartoon Network for the Annoying Orange. It was originally a YouTube series, but I guess CN wants more views. I might bother watching it because I liked the little pieces they did on YouTube.
Still…waiting… On.. Tomoyo After… Urgh!
Your waiting is not in vain, Redeyes. Just wait. And refresh. And think awhile.
Haha Admins Today it was my first time trying to download anime of this site.Sadly I get the torrent not found error….
What is the problem here has the torrent move elsewhere?
Hi there random passerby! Tomoyo After will be released on th… wait a second.
…
Oh my, you didn’t ask about Tomoyo After. (I almost cracked there!) I think you meant to post in the comment section on the first page. Just go to the top of the screen, click on the giant banner, steer clear of Holo’s & Ix’s loli hord, take a wide right away from anything Jigsy posts, and repost your comment in the first new comment section you see.
There, problem solved! ^_^
O my god! 17 more comments!!!!! The suspense is KEELING ME!! I am so pumped i might have to kick a sunahara in a bear suit!
Pic almost related to post count but not quite >.>. http://sadpanda.us/images/987464-LM3EVY0.jpg
Tomoyo pictures are always related *nod*
Oh wow, answering each message like I threatened to do earlier is really tiring me out. Guess I can skip some…
ahhhh…ive been waiting a long 4 years for this.(hopefully not 5.) thank you doki for translating this, and i wish you the best of luck.
Shiro, you’re luck and presence is always appreciated!
I haven’t seen this question before, even if it’s not really important, but I was curious anyway:
How will you guys deliver the patch? Will it be an installer, or will it just be one where you move the files in or isn’t it decided yet?
It better be an installer, because I’d hate if something like that clouded the issue.
…Wow that came out wrong. To better paraphrase, it’s more like not having an installer would allow inherent errors to occur more often.
You could also say that people unable to follow instructions (if that’s the way we did it) don’t deserve to play the game! 😀
Natural selection at its finest! Go doki! But seriously i agree with Ixlone.
I’m taking the cheater’s route ans skipping all the way to the bottom.
…
Hey, look! Ix posted! Hey man, you may want to make sure a random passerby doesn’t take a loli from your horde. If he (dare I say, SHE) does, head straight for the last pic Jigsy posted. Fifty bucks says he/she will have been be scared stiff with a contorted look on their face, with the loli crouching nearby in horror.
Also, danyo, you’ll find out soon enough.
More and more people seem to visit this page…
Last time i was here, only 2-3 post a week…now its like everyone is joining the queue..
I like the story of this particular VN..
its about setting up a family…very nice theme
Its nice to see that SOMEONE posted here without trying to dig information out of me! Ha ha ha~!
I too appreciate the themes of the Clannad family of VNs. Very meaningful.
Are you working on the Standard Edition or the Memorial Edition? I’m asking because I can only find copies of the Memorial Edition that are available.
They’re working on the Standard Edition
This is true. I posted links on where the standard edition was being sold a few times. Just search through the posts and you’ll find them. I recommend Yahoo! Auctions Japan and eBay, personally.
Alternatively if you are an internet pirate
http://www.craneanime.com/2011/10/tmyoaftr.html?m=1
Over here i think
Would the CS Edition work?
On Windows 7? I don’t see why not. With the patch? Unfortunately, no. The game is assembled differently in the CS edition as compared to the original edition.
Ok. Thanks, and sorry if I was a bother.
BTW, can somebody explain me the difference of the ME from any other edition? As for Clannad I failed to find any… I thought it had some new CGs or at least some minor differences in the story but nothing of the sort…
Clannad and Tomoyo After’s Memorial Editions make them compatible with Windows 7.
So normal tomoyo after is not compatible with windows 7?
Actually, Windows 7 shares the backward compatibility features introduced with Vista, so it should still work.
memorial is all ages, has new text(maybe events,since it has new text) the regular edition is 18+
There is also a modified storyline. Just an FYI. No hentai.
what a shame…..
(¬‿¬)
And how lucky… Comment #1000 is mine, and as a long-time fan of KEY, I am glad to have the opportunity to hear some news.
Awwwwh yeah news time!
You’re too quick for me, peeps! Hahaha!
That’s what we thought CM ahahahahaha
Keep your shorts on! Its called prep time!
Just 3hours ago there were only 994 comments how the heck it suddenly blossom to 1.03k comments.What kind of magic is this?
The magic of Clannad Man spamming!
Hey now, I skipped a bunch! No spam!
You want your update or not? XD
Well congratulations mon capitan JbstormburstADV, as well as the rest of the participating Doki Legion, for helping this post reach 1,000 comments.
Wow. That’s just nuts. And so quickly too! I mention an update and everyone gets all crazy and starts posting. Its was a beautiful site for me to see. Really. So many people chipping in for a good cause. (I feel like I’m speaking at a charity dinner, lol.)
So there’s no way I can deny your request for the update. I salute you all for persevering through all of the bull shit to get to this point. Really. But think about this; as tough as it was for you, think of how tough it is for ME, forcing myself to only give out little tidbits of information to a ravenous legion! I wanted to, I swear! But alas, it was not in the VN Team’s best interests. Nope. No it wasn’t. No sir.
So here I am, considering what information to provide. In all honesty, I was thinking about playing a cruel joke and saying that the update was something you may have already pieced together, such as all 997 image edits having been completed. (Whoops.) However, after all the shit we have all (I’m including myself in this) had to go through just to be able to understand a beautifully written story, I couldn’t do that. Instead, I’ve planned something much more mischievous… and rewarding.
I am reminded of an old forum post of mine from many moons ago. “Let’s play a game, Doki Legion.” And a game we shall play. Well, you really. I’m just the messenger.
Those who have followed this translation project for the past few months may remember that a certain someone requested a puzzle to shed some light on the VN Team’s progress. On several occasions I mentioned that curious individuals should keep their pencils ready. Today, you (since if you’re here I’m assuming that ‘curious individual’ tag applies to you) will receive what you have been promised. You will use that pencil. And it will bring joy.
In a few minutes, a message will be delivered to the fine viewers of Doki. This message is for you, if you are worthy enough to solve it. Don’t worry, I know you are. You don’t know how to lose.
Good luck, Doki Legion.
“In all honesty, I was thinking about playing a cruel joke and saying that the update was something you may have already pieced together, such as all 997 image edits having been completed. (Whoops.) ”
That would be too cruel. 🙁
You may begin.
so….where’s this “puzzle?” :x.
http://doki.co/2012/05/31/riddle_me_this/
sweet thanks!
i…think i got it wrong though. i TRYED doing the: a =1 B = 2 (etc,etc…) nope! xD.
Clannadman, i hope you realize i wont be able to sleep until i solve this puzzle.
Yea, this.
type A-Z in excel from A1 to A26, sort and filter, sort Z to A
Hmm… I believe that I have my suspicions as to the actual date… I wonder, is this the day we will finally see the calming of 静かの海?
If you think that to be the correct answer, you should post it and why you think so on the Secret Message page. Somebody’s got to be right!
Clannad Man, I’m gone for TWO days, and everyone’s practically figured the thing out. I feel as if I try it’ll amount to nothing, but what the hell, I’ll try to decipher it best I can later today. I the meantime I gotta read volume 11 of Spice and Wolf.
You might as well try it out. The Doki Legion has not come to a consensus regarding the date yet.
