Hello! This is an account now dedicated to providing updates and spreading awareness as to the translation of the first-known written scriptbooks for the 2003 hack n' slash Drakengard. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask or DM!

Hello! This account will remain inactive, as the Drakengard Script Translations (or any other Drakengard-related translation project) are unlikely to be further worked on or publicly released. Thank you!

[Drakengard 1 Scriptbook Updates @DODScriptUpdate]

If the choice is made to keep going, a url and username switch will be in order for the next project, the scriptbooks for Drakengard 1! Progress will be announced for each completed scene. If decides to scrap the account, then it will simply cease to update or be deleted. Thanks!

Hello everyone! For nearly the past year, this account has been dedicated to providing info and updates to Drakengard's 2nd novel release, Magnitude Negative — But now that it's been released, what's the use for this account? I'm interested in seeing your thoughts.

After a long year of hard work from a number of people, it's finally here! Thank you all so much for your support.

Here is a Tumblr post with more info about it. It contains a general overview of Magnitude "Negative"'s background, reception, legacy, etc. For anyone curious, this should cover all the basics! For any remaining questions, please feel free to message me.

After a long silence, we're pleased to announce that the final edits for the Ending D novelisation of Drakengard 1 are being made! The novel is set for near release, so please be on the lookout for future updates! Thank you.

@LFCSSay Magnitude Negative est une novélisation de la fin D de DOD1 publiée en 2004 par Aizawa Tadashi! Il comporte un nouveau personnage et des scènes légèrement différentes pour les personnages. (Je ne sais pas Français, alors j’ai dû utiliser Google Translate. J’espère que ça va! 😅)

[Drakengard 1 Scriptbook Updates @DODScriptUpdate]

There is less than 100 pages remaining to be translated in Magnitude Negative.
At its current rate, the day of its release should be as soon as roughly two months!

Soon, the story of Drakengard's Magnitude "Negative" will be made available to the west for the first time ever!

[Barnabism @Barnabisms]

I was trying to avoid this till Magnitude Negative released, but

Update time!
With Chapter Four complete, it's time not just to move on to the translation of Chapter Three, at 85 pages, but to happily announce that Chapter One as well is nearly halfway complete! The completion of Magnitude Negative is coming closer than you think~

[Drakengard 1 Scriptbook Updates @DODScriptUpdate]

!NEWS: Translation of Magnitude Negative is halfway complete! The goal for 50% completion before 2023 has been accomplished.

About two more chapters remain until it reaches completion. Translation will continue on to finish the these chapters as soon as possible.

Thank you. ❤️

‼️IMPORTANT‼️
With Musk taking over Twitter, I'm going to be using Tumblr (https://t.co/VqUp0oyal2) as my main base of operations. The shift will come gradually; I'll update my pinned post when it's all sorted and complete.

As for Magnitude Negative... (1/🧵)

[Drakengard 1 Scriptbook Updates @DODScriptUpdate]

@infinityhelios_ @Barnabisms It's exciting to think that the original character and scenes available here will soon be available to the public! Please give thanks to @fantomexnoir who's assisting on translations as well, their help so far on such a large project has helped deliver it all the more quickly. :)

[Drakengard 1 Scriptbook Updates @DODScriptUpdate]

Looks like there's been a boom in activity and follows since the recent scan post. 21 followers in a day! Wow! Currently Chapter 4 is being translated, and progress has been going so smooth that it should release sometime in March, if not sooner! Thank you all for the support! ❤️

[Drakengard 1 Scriptbook Updates @DODScriptUpdate]

NEWS: Chapter 2 of Magnitude Negative has been fully translated! This marks a major development in overall progress as the first fully translated chapter (Excluding Prologue/Epilogue).

Magnitude Negative is 34.84% done and is expected to be finished by late March/early April.

[Drakengard 1 Scriptbook Updates @DODScriptUpdate]

NEWS: Translation of Magnitude Negative is 25% complete!! Our goal is to have at least half translated by 2023.
