Wow, I left for a few days and came back to this.
Awesome job. Congrats everyone. How does it know to feel that you're so close to completion after putting so much work into this project?

Hi there!
I have been following the project on and off since mid 2007 and thought it was time to join up! First i want to congratulate the developers on a job well done and i am looking forward to playing the English version of Policenauts!
Will it be a public Beta? or are you going to only release the finished version?

I haven't thought much about it. I guess it hasn't sunk in yet.

No, no public beta. But we will be asking friends to play it and give detailed opinions.

Haha, no, it isn't a case of "for a small donation you can become a 'Friend of Policenauts'." I mean personal friends, people we've known for years and totally trust with the game.

Keep up the good work guys! After 15 years from being released (starting with the PC-98) and, technically, 13 for the PSX/Saturn version since its PSX one you're translating, both old and new Policenauts fans can now enjoy the game in full English. Just from my site alone, Policenauts got 15 extra fans in the last month and nothing feels better than letting them know that an English patch is near completion from some diehard (and very computer-tech savvy) fans of the game. Coming from looooooong time Policenauts/Snatcher fans, this obviously means a lot, but for new people who may only being trying Policenauts for the first time with the translation patch, they can now look back and see the history of how Policenauts was scrapped officially oh-so-long ago and then revived from dedicated fans to be brought out in English.....

Just to clarify , when "it" goes beta the general public still needs to wait a little bit longer , right? Some are really anxious but we've already waited this long , the beta wait will be a cinch.
Anyways , the guys working on this , your hard unpaid fanwork is inspirational.

Right. And we don't know how long that'll last, really.

Well I guess that some of the testers will start from CD 1 and others with a savedgame file from CD2, and will be testing all options for at least two weeks or so... and if no more bugs appear...

Well, let's make my post somewhat useful.
I don't see any need to make some testers start from CD 2 (other than annoy them), and I think the testing should take at least a month... Well, who knows?

I think it's better if people don't try to estimate how long beta will take.

However, is it overly optimistic to think that it should go public within the current year?

Not at all overly optimistic.

Well we have waited this long and now that the project is nearing completion I think we can wait a little while longer.
Good luck on the remaining 5 bugs guys

Man, I wish society had this kind of patience for MGS4! I'm sure if Kojima was given the time that he needed, the game would be absolutely flawless, sadly, it's just near-perfect.
Learn your lessons guys, give the Junker team the time they need and all will be glorious!
GOOD JOBS.
