Friends in the know:
My team has recently been told we can suggest fonts for the EN version of a game we're translating.
Never done this before but I recall reading about Fontworks(?) recently being bought out and causing problems, so...
What should I know when looking at/choosing fonts to suggest?
A comic drawn digitally with two panels. First panel has one black cat on the left asking a white cat on the right "so what do you do for a living?" Second panel the white cat answered with a silly face "My best?"
don't we all

Thank you. ๐ฅฒ Hopefully my ob-gyn can help me sort things out at my next appointment.
So tired of being nauseous and in pain. ๐ฅฒ
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

We're looking for new Renโpy programmers to join our studio! Our team is currently working on a slice-of-life visual novel called Our Life: Now & Forever, and we are bringing on at least one new programmer to help complete the game.

So cool! Congrats! ๐
I'm so grateful that 7S came out with such a direct response of "NO WE ARE NOT USING AI"
I'm choosing to trust the relationship we built over the many years I worked for 7S. Fingers crossed...thank you 7S team!
GIVE US THE LAYERED CSP FILES IF YOU WANT MANGA LOCALIZED FASTER
If seven seas wants a translation done in 2 months instead of 5-6, I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU.
ALL OF US CAN.
I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YOUR FOR YEARS.
Please don't shove the titles I embedded a part of my soul in every script through an AI grinder and ruin them. Please. These books deserve so much more
Yeah... I suspect I might have endo, but haven't gotten a diagnosis yet. Just been trying to treat the symptoms so far.
I'm currently on two kinds of BC to try and prevent them. No blood currently, just awful cramps and nausea.
Going on two and a half weeks and my uterus is still trying to kill me. ๐ Fingers crossed that I can get in to see a doctor soon.
THAT is the problem with "better than nothing". MTPE fan TL is worse than nothing. It's actively detrimental to the games supposedly being translated and the community at large.
It makes players associate the game with slop.
It forestalls good-faith translations.
It wastes everyone's time.
New Interviews With Localizers is out!!! This month we talk to John Neal (@johnnylandmine.bsky.social) about how he became an in-house video game localizer then moved to freelance manga/game translation and editing.

"He clearly looks like a samurai. He seems cheerful and open, probably very charismatic. His form of dress suggests he is a high-ranking samurai ruler. He is a very caring and protective guy. He always finds a way to be cheerful in tough situations. 8/10 on the boyfriend scale."
Next up is Kenshin. Here's what my brother had to say:
Hiyok over here living his best emo cowboy life.
Enjoying Neon Clash so far, but WHAT ARE THESE SHOES?
I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere
"I hope you die" is weak. "I hope that obscure Japanese-only game you wanna play gets a fan translation done entirely by ChatGPT" is way more hurtful. It's real. It could happen to anyone.
It works great for Japanese. Definitely tricky in English. ๐
