about usWe are a small unit focused on translating both commercial and doujin visual novels.insani was originally incorporated in August of 2004, during a time when there was no suchthing as a "complete visual novel translation". In a joint venture withNNL,we were solely responsible for a 100% complete first-pass translation of the 2002 visualnovel byminori,Wind -a breath of heart-. We havesince then moved on to translating Trial Editions of commercial games as well as severalvery highly-regarded doujin visual novels -- foremost among them beingNarcissu.
We maintain a branch ofONScripter, were thefounders and first festival coordinators ofal|together,and are known for our speed and precision in translation. We devote a large amount of our energyto mentoring less-experienced translators, in the hopes of helping to give rise to a generation ofethical visual novel translators. In conjunction with the above, we take a very hard line againstsoftware piracy of any sort.

Seung Park is the ultimate garage inventor, having developed and perfected a machine allowing him to warp time itself. At least, there is no other explanation for how he can consistently turn out professional-level translations in the odd minutes when he isn't saving people's lives or, more typically, gaining lives in R-TYPE.

This is the man who holds the power of BBQ (of the OMG and the WTF variants)in his hands. He seeks to create Cocoa implementations of every visualnovel engine known to man; he speaks five languages on alternate Fridays;he slices; he dices; he gives new meaning to the phrase "high dynamic range"when chewing out programmers who do not bother to comment their code. Hesometimes even translates fairy tales about birds and golden fruits...
