I have been following this thread for some months now. And honestly, what you say you do here is praiseworthy but, that's all it is. Hearsay. I'm sorry to be rude here, but I don't see any proof. Any. I don't know, on what stage are you with this. I don't know what exactly you are doing and what you need. I don't even know if you did anything about this project in last 3 weeks. So I doubt you.
Look, I would pay you actual money if you could bring back SMT Imagine as it were back to life. And I know that a lot of people would. And mind you, you wouldn't even have to succeed, just to give us real progress that we can gage and say it actually functioned. That something you are doing, functions. I'm tired of only optimism and hearsay. That doesn't prove anything. To start such a project you need to be serious. And all I see is prayers.
Once again, consider that many people would pay you if you were actually serious and gave us, interested people something real and existing to work with, instead of pushing us away with promises. The more people you can get to help you with this, the more motivation and work together can be achieved. That's all.

infinityedgeWell, this thread isn't exactly the place where all the private server news is announced from what I've seen (don't get me wrong, it really should be lol). But I hear that most of the progress reports are often announced on that Discord thing. I get the news on a page on Facebook myself, there was progress news today in fact. I'm not sure exactly what you want as proof, but there have been screenshots put up of them getting things to work, and updates on what aspects they are currently working on. You're better off looking for news and updates on other social media outlets than here. But really, they should try to update this thread or make a new thread on THIS forum regarding progress on the private server, since I know a lot of former players primarily come here for anything regarding Imagine...

what facebook group is it? looked shin megami tensei imagine on facebook, lot of groups for it, some for even just individual clans. was thinking of offering a large text file of info i could get from the online wikis, but then if you had the online wikis offline you could literally just search for the page just like you'd search for the line in a text file.

I think this needs to be mentioned in this thread: megatenonline.proboards.com/thread/1035/chinese-private-server-playYou can play on the Chinese private server (with English text in the game client). However, it's a very outdated version of the game, and servers lag a bit. But it's still good ol' SMT: Imagine. Reason I mention it here is because this is the first page that pops up when you google "Shin Megami Tensei Imagine Private Server", and I don't know about you, but I google that from time to time to check if I'll ever be able to play this game again. And now I found out it's possible (p.s, I still hope this project will go forward at some point, it would be great.. but for now, the chinese server is better than no server :>)

Updates from discordapp: "HACKfrost - 14/10/2016 Omega and I have been hard at work getting the old server code into the shiny new restructured server code. When this is done expect something readable, scalable and efficient. In the past couple weeks we've gotten past the boring framework stages and started popping open the 1.666 client and started seeing messages passing through and handling communication to the lobby and character creator screens. I know this is one of the very first things you see when you boot the game but rest assured that this is going to be a bit of a waterfall of updates from things already accomplished once we get the different servers communicating properly.Stay tuned!" "Red - Yesterday 23:25 So I think it's time for an update since we haven't had one in forever. The project was updated 3 days ago and they are approaching the final hurdles to actually be able to get in game. They have not given up on it and we should have a new update soon so hang tight because Soon™ @everyone"

This makes me happy. Really wish I could help but I'm absolutely useless with anything like this. Good luck to everyone working on this and a big thank you for your time and effort!
Can't wait to play Imagine again (and nope, not touching the prehistoric Chinese private server)

I'm so happy seeing this update every now and then. I'm constantly lurking around since this was a big thing years ago and was saddened that it got shutdown. Wish I could help but I'm only a upholsterer.

Damn you know guys whenever I think of the game I get sad because I miss it so much. Fromm all the games I've ever played I enjoyed Imagine the most. I am a HUGE fan of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise but Imagine was something much more amazing.
Whenever I think of the game I do not just get sad however, I keep remembering that there are people working on trying to get the game back up. It doesn't matter if it's a huge team of professional developers or just some single person working on it from time to time. As long as there is hope that I am able to play the game again sometime I'm calmed down. I am learning Java and C++ atm because I'm a student at a vocational college for IT so I hope I might be able to someday somehow contribute to this project. If I was a millionaire I would even blow all my money on acquiring the rights and files for the game. This game means so incredibly much to me, not in an addictive way but more in an emotional way. I don't know what's so magical about the game or the franchise in general but whenever I play a Shin Megami Tensei game I'm comfortable. They are strangely calming.
Edit: I mentioned this before in a post in...march or something. I still have the installer and client files from 2013 (Installer 2013/06/26; Client 2013/11/30 ; ImagineClient.exe 2014/01/29 ) Should those be of any help feel free to pm me.

I am not questioning things in a bad way I'm just asking out of curiosity Chinese server uses Aeria Client and the updates on Aeria files always comes with bugs which is hard to fix, also looks like the Chinese server GM pay someone else to do the coding part and the money he gets from the players isnt enougth. The English Private Server is probably coming with japanese texts since it is the Japanese Client and will take more time to translate everything. Its taking long because is a hard and long process.

So how goes an english translation for the game and private server creation, been slightly following this forum from the shadows for almost a year after i found it due to missing a game i never had the time to truly appreciate. Seriously i was not into shin megami when i played it, got into it after it got shut down and now i'm sad and no game has filled the hole in my heart that it left. So yeah finally made an account on here today just to see how everything is actually coming along, don't really have the time to go through 11 pages of progress XD
