The mousemat sales have been highly successful. Enough money was raised to keep Kotomi going for 2 years and renew doki.co for the next few decades!

From today on, I’m selling mousemats raise money to cover some costs of fansubbing not covered by the donations. (Mainly kotomi server and domain hosting fees) Unfortunately, I was not able to get all the custom mousemats printed, because they wouldn’t let me print single ones, and only in bulk. So here’s what’s available for sale: The majority of the mousemats for sale can be found here. I have 5 copies of each of these, so I expect this batch to last a while (hopefully!). I will remove the image from the set once it is sold out, so if you see an image in the set, assume that it is in stock. If they become sold out and I don’t have time to update Flickr, then first come first serve applies! I will be around very often though, so this scenario is unlikely. Update: at this time, 13 have been completely sold out. 47 remain in various quantities. I also have some larger mousemats here. Because I wasn’t sure how popular these would be, I didn’t stock many, since they were more expensive to get. There is only 1 copy of each mousemat here. As soon as someone orders them, I will remove the image from the set. Update: at this time, only 1 out of 40 remain. The final batch of 22cm mousemats can be found here. I only have one of each! Update: All sold out. Pricing: 22cm Mousemat 30cm Mousemat Payment Methods: Currency: Postage: Obviously if you get more than 1 mousemat, the postage per mat will drop considerably, especially if sending outside the UK. Free Momo Sticker: Instructions 2. Send an email to me at holo@doki.co, with “mousemat” in the title of your message, from the email address you wrote in the comment earlier. In your message, tell me the file name of the image of the mousemats that you want to buy. You may include a link to the image if you want. Also include an address that you want the items posted to! Make sure you include your country! Also let me know how you would like to pay. You MUST send me an email after posting a comment. If I don’t get an email off a commenter 24 hours after the comment is posted, the mousemats will be free for others to buy. 3. If you have any questions about anything, you may either comment below or email me. 4. Once I receive your email in my inbox, I will respond to you and assign you with an order number. I will also edit your comment on the blog and add in the order number. I will reply to you by email telling you what the total amount to pay will be. 5. Once I receive your payment, I will email you again telling you that payment has been received and when I plan to post the items. 6. After I have sent them in the post, I will send you a final email. Finally, I’d like to thank everyone who will be purchasing these mousemats. Your support is greatly appreciated! UPDATE: I am posting 10 orders a day (ones that I have received money for). If you have not been emailed with an order number yet, it’s because I’ve not gone that far yet. But rest assured, if you have eamiled me with an order, it will be reserved for you unless I email you otherwise.  So what’s been going on these past several months? Quite a few things, actually. Around the beginning of Summer, the Team began transitioning our content over to Github. Reorganizing the translation repositories has taken some time but will ultimately streamline how work on the games is conducted. However… I bet you didn’t start reading this article for news like this, did you? Of course not. Onto the games! Let’s start with the big news. After months of fumbling around attempting to create updated Tomoyo After patches for Mac and Linux, the VN Team has finally been able to do so. Sometime over the next few days, an open-beta period for the v1.1 patches will begin. While it is believed the patch should work correctly for everything outside of unsupported OP video (including the Dungeons & Takafumis minigame), the VN Division would like to clarify that this is the case. To Mac & Linux users, enjoy! A lot of progress has been made on the technical side for the Tomoyo After’s Memorial Edition. Scripts have been extracted and matched up with the original, leaving only the changes between editions untranslated. While the VN Division is splitting its efforts between Clannad and Little Busters!, the remaining work that needs to be done on the game is relatively straightforward. If any able bodied translators were to volunteer to assist, work on the translation could probably continue in short order… *hint* *hint*. On to Little Busters! EX/ME: Translation and editing continues with Sasami’s route having been completed and edited. It is currently going through internal testing for quality assurance; perhaps there will be a partial patch release to reflect its completion. Kanata route has a few untranslated pieces on common route, putting that one’s release a bit further along the line. The focus right now is on Saya’s Route and additions to the Common Route. Feel free to follow the VN Team’s progress HERE. In addition to the lengthy transition that has taken place with Fluffy’s merger into Doki VN, translation progress has been slowed by the stepping down of Claymore_Smiley and the leave of absence taken by dango. The Team is actively looking for additional members to fill in for their vacancies. Again, if there are any capable Japanese to English translators who would be interested in assisting the completion of Little Busters! EX/ME or any of our other VN Translation Projects, please mention your interest in the comments section or on the #doki-recruits channel on IRC. On the plus side, Kuzu will be transitioning back over to Doki VN at the end of the season to focus on Clannad’s translation checks with NeWbY. Several of the VN Division’s editors have been reviewing the game’s SEENs and will continue working with the game’s translators into the foreseeable future. So that’s that. Updates all around for everyone. Oh, and the Key15th Project is still underway for you Key fans. We’ll get you all updated on that soon enough. Until next time, ciao!
I have some final updates of information regarding the mousemats. There will be two sizes: normal and large. The dimensions are as follows: Normal: 240mm x 200mm x 3mm (Image dimensions should ideally be at least 2880×2400) I am guessing that the demand for normal sizes will be higher than the large sizes, so I will be stocking more of the normal sizes compared to the large sizes. The mousemats are made of thick rubber/foam material, with a piece of fabric on top, most likely printed with dye sublimation. The print resolution is quite high, something like 300 dpi. I have obtained samples and I am very satisfied with them. I have taken some pictures, which are linked below. My camera isn’t a DSLR, so I can’t really get any higher quality pictures, but they look a lot nicer in real life. I have gone through the comments in the previous post and have worked out what the most popular shows are: Clannad, Kanon, Railgun, OreImo, ToLOVERu, F/SN, Haruhi, Angel Beats, Little Busters and Air. For these shows, I will stock 4 generic designs. For other shows that people wanted but aren’t as popular, I’ll stock 2 designs or so. Everything that is available for purchase will be updated on shop.doki.co soon. The only thing that isn’t finalised is the cost of the mousemats. The normal ones will be 6 or 7 GBP each, while the larger ones will be slightly more expensive, at 9 or 10 GBP each. As it happens, I can also obtain other goods, such as cushions and pillows. If you are interested in these, leave a comment and I’ll see what I can get and I’ll update the post later. If you have requested custom designs, please ensure that the resolutions of your images match the requirements. Please use imgur to upload your images if possible. Please note that the postage charged on shop.doki.co may not be accurate yet, because I haven’t entered the weight of the mousemats into the system. In any case, I am not back from China until August 1st, and I won’t be able to post anything until then. I have updated shop.doki.co with some cushions. Feel free to buy/reserve them if you like them. Even if you use Paypal to pay, I won’t be accepting the money until August. If there is sufficient interest, I’ll grab some more cushions over the next few days. http://hologfx.com/dump/IMG_0518.JPG More mousemats that I haven’t added to the shop yet!
We will be making our subtitle files (.ass) available for download via http://subs.anime-index.org/. Download links will be integrated into the release posts soon. I might also add some scripts from older shows by other groups too (like Code Geass, for example).  Various Members of Doki’s North American Staff (& Friends) Hello again, Doki Legion! Though it has been nearly a month since Anime North has ended, people have continued to ask for a summary of Doki’s presence at the convention as well as footage from the 「key15th」 presentation if it became available. While TheThing was planning on writing a summary post for Doki, he became busy, so I took the liberty of writing up a convention summary on behalf of Doki’s attendees. Here’s the tl;dr version: Friday (May 24th): Arrival (12pm) / “Our rooms won’t be ready until 6pm?” / Aimless Wandering / Autographs / Nominoichi Saturday (May 25th): Morning Brunch / Workout / Maid Café / Various Panels & Photoshoots / Review Notes / Key Panel Time! / 13-Man Dinner Sunday (May 26th): “You’re kicking us out of our hotel room an hour early?” / AKB0048 Café / Dealers Room Deals / Panel & Rest / Departure You can find the full convention summary over at the Key15th website. Regarding the Key presentation, it took awhile to collect and edit various video and audio feeds together to make a full presentation. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Curser656 for capturing the large majority of the presentation; your contribution really added a lot to the recording’s final edit. I’d also like to thank Doki’s Aieon and jakeman95 for their significant contributions as panelists. While the presentation experience can’t be identically replicated (no surround sound, audience interaction, etc.), you should still get a good idea for what the presentation was like. If you enjoy the presentation, tell us in the comments section here and on our Anime North forum page. Depending on interest/ feedback, we would be interested in holding another presentation (at AN or elsewhere) and may get preferential stage time at Anime North if our feedback on their forums is positive. You can download a copy of our presentation recording and PowerPoint (for educational purposes!) using the link below. Our group also collected a number of pictures from the convention… several GBs worth! Feel free to peruse the cosplay cornucopia if you’re so inclined. Edit: Server issues have been resolved. Kudos to Holo for offering torrents! Anime North Presentation Pack (Video & PPT): Torrent Anime North Picture Pack: Torrent
Update! I am now working on the mousemat designs. I’d like comments on what series/characters you’d like to see/purchase. If you have a specific image that you would like to request, please post the link to a high res image. Otherwise, just post what series and/or characters you would like. The final plan would be for me to choose a selection of images from the series/characters and stock 5 of each design or something. If I like your custom request, I might stock more of them too. Otherwise I’ll only get 1 of the custom design (reserved for the poster). As an example, you could comment with “Yahari/Yui, Clannad/Kotomi, Fate zero/Saber” or “Clannad, K-ON.” Also, can people stop asking if I can ship to them. The answer will be yes, unless you live in the middle of an island in the Pacific Ocean or in the Amazon Rainforest.
In August, I will once again be selling mousemats, as I did a couple of years ago, to help with some of the costs of servers (and other fansubbing related costs, domains, etc) not covered by donations. I recall that there was a huge demand for it last time. I only had about 20 up for sale, and they were all snapped up within 12 hours of me posting. This time, I will be more prepared, hence this advanced notice. I will have a lot more for sale, and should be able to cater to far more people than last time. The way I’m going to sell them will be the same as last time, except that I may have more of a variety this time. I haven’t decided the final prices, but normal mousemats will probably go for £6 this time, and padded mousemats (boobs etc) will sell a for a bit more. People may even be able to request their own character designs on the mousemats. Payment Postage Varieties Comment below to register your interest! |
