Last thread on the matter because it's been a long week, but if there's one piece of advice I can offer to fan translators who truly want to do a good job, it's this: be prepared to take ownership for your work. That's the number one thing I find lacking in many, man fan translations in general.

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.

I forgot to plug this on main lol but Handheld Talk is back and Amr being mostly offline means I got to inform them about the limitations of the Virtual Boy Switch Online app towards the end of the pod which ruled :)

Will keep thinking about both these games for a long time...which has a lot more value than something slicker and less potent.

Getting to write a WHOLE ASS ANIME AF SCENARIO for this, as my first Real Game Narrative job was a truly wild experience.

Go smash that button (and maybe you'll get to do a mf'ing mech heist soon).

Unwinnable subscribers saw an excerpt of this last month, but here's the much, much longer convo I had with Autumn back in December about cultural criticism, my process, and a long, ongoing battle with alienation from my own taste and craft. A little rambly, apologies

Learning Blender again, this time I tried recreating this scene from True Love Story (PS1). It's very "Nintendo hire this man" lol I need to learn more about texturing/shaders (Left: Original, source: PSX Data Center, Right: 3D Scene) Below is the animation render test.

Of all my translations, that end screen was the one I struggled with the most for its tone while fitting it all on screen. Iirc it's written in a "being petulant but trying to hide it with politeness" way, but I always worried I leaned too hard into the petulance. I'm probably overthinking it lol

Tomgaar's review of AX-5: Orion / Quest | Backloggd A dΓ­a de hoy, lo que impresiona de ambos juegos es su impecable aplicaciΓ³n de grΓ‘ficos vectoriales. La capacidad de movimiento en Quest, sumada al feedback casi inmediato de Orion, sorprende genuiname...

He podido jugar dos tΓ­tulos que ASCII distribuyΓ³ para el PC-6001 en el paquete AX-5, conocido entre otras cosas por incluir el tΓ­tulo Quest, que a pesar de su nombre no tiene nada que ver con RPGs. De todas formas, me han gustado bastante y he escrito sobre ellos backloggd.com/u/Tomgaar/re...

Tomgaar's review of The Cheat | Backloggd Muy divertido. La mayorΓ­a de los juegos que se enviaron a Micom BASIC en sus aΓ±os mozos eran menos demos y mΓ‘s bromas a expensas de la sociedad y las manΓ­as del desarrolladore particular, en este caso...
