Translators

We have a small list of possible future projects here. If any of these interest you, please contact us! Parts needed for translation can be separated from the game code. Please keep in mind that we look for staff for localizations first, and only then do we contact the original creators. If they refuse permission or do not respond, then the localization will not be done.

If your interest is only in one game, that's no problem! However, we DO ask for commitment to the entire script of the game you choose, so make sure you have the time to complete it in a relatively timely fashion. Translation of a visual novel is much more complex and time-consuming than a doujinshi or a manga. Depending on the game, though, VNs can get lengthy, so we're flexible!

Programmers

We are currently looking for someone with the tools and/or knowledge to unpack and repack files for the LiveMaker engine.

Testers

We are looking for someone to beta-test Windows releases of our games to check for any game bugs or script errors. Must be a Windows machine, not an Intel Mac running Windows (we've got that covered, and yes, it's been found that some game commands DO function slightly differently in at least one game engine, hence the need for a second beta tester).

Can You Help?

If you are interested in any of these positions, please email firefly.vns[at]gmail.com.

firefly is a non-profit localization group dedicated to translating BL doujin visual novels.

Visual novels are text-based games with illustrations and music, many with choices that can branch the story into multiple endings. Some are available for multiple operating systems; others are Windows-only, depending on the game engine.

firefly is focused on translating freeware BL games based off of pre-existing series with the original game creators' permission.
