next time I leave a save file in the Zakuzaku download someone please tell me xp

seeing that thing about the isekai market flood resulting in declining sales made me think about the book I tried to write* after reading Mushoku Tensei several years back and going... "I could do better than this." *the book is written, but I never attempted to get it published.

more charming Saihate Hospital art.

considering including MIDI soundfont downloads and VirtualMidi in my pinned links or maybe even in my RM2K game downloads from now on. Saihate Hospital sounds amazing with GeneralUser-GS or Timbres of Heaven, and absolute ear-torture dogshit with the standard Windows MIDI soundfont.

why is it that I cannot get a single bulk RPGMV/MZ decrypter to work. like, I know I suck with software. that seems to be a universal truth. it is partly why I've always worked on RPGM games. but they claim to decrypt the files, then when it doesn't work there's little to no info as to why.

opening up my old laptop's files and I get flashbanged by memories on seeing the file directory for the first visual novel I read: Divi-DEAD's official English release. that one put me off VNs for a while, and map movement VNs possibly permanently.

fucking shitblocker. just trying to get the data off my oldass laptop from back before I really cared about computer stuff. never thought keeping it updated would come back to bite me, but that's microslop for you. now I put the HDD back in, hopefully I can switch it off now that it's back in there.

got another computer upgraded today. it isn't like I need it and probably won't ever use it myself but there's a wrongness that needs to be corrected in a computer that's almost E-waste as-is but can be an nice little workstation with a relatively cheap/easy overhaul. dell 3040 sff -> 3430 precision

Nice! RPGMaker.net is back up and running. Almost 6000 games (most of them free) - the downloads had been mirrored on the Internet Archive but all the reviews, rankings, etc had been offline for ages. Absolute essential resource.

the hand-drawn art from this game (Saihate Hospital) is immensely charming.

character design that won't get out of my head for some reason: oujo mullet - business in the front, ohhohoho in the back. (think hair swirlies/drills but only sourcing from hair behind the ears)

Saihate Hospital is shaping up to be another soulful game. Enemy: 暴れバーコード (Raging Combover) (these are like the first enemies)

SURPRISE PATCH! I'm happy to announce the English translation patch for "Tiny Bullets" on the PS1 ✨ youtu.be/0td_3Zk31UM It was a team effort between Etokapa (graphics, proofreading, QA, trailer) and me (hacking, translation and QA). Link in the vid description. Hope you all enjoy it!

"退・魔・開・始!" After singing its praises for so long, I close out April with a review of SOLDIERS DesireWing, a cult-hit in the making. Come read all about what happens when a bunch of super-powered women are trapped in the world together and everyone hates their family: ogrerun.com/2026/04/23/s...

バトルオブマオ #ざくアクアート

out of curiosity, I opened the map data of Histoire with Stringscripts. then I saw the Troops.txt file. just a text file. that is 2,433 KB in size. I opened it up to see that it has about 1.3 million characters. although tbh I expect that notepad++ would make short work of the repeated text.

New version of The April Fools Feast English translation is up! Special thanks to @mootowncow.bsky.social for playtesting! drive.google.com/file/d/1fSLw...

Alright now that worst case scenarios have (probably) been avoided I can gush about my time with April Fools Feast. Finished today after poking around wiki and seemingly doing all the content outside of rare dialogue or hard mode. Incredibly unique game that I'd really like to see find an audience.

One stream into this game -- It's made an incredibly strong first impression, I highly recommend it

PSA for those playing April Fools Feast English TL: All the name/word entering screens will start on hiragana. If you click the marked spot once, it'll turn to katakana. If you click it again, it'll be English letters. This will allow you to give your character an English name and enter passwords.

so, what is The April Fools Feast? it's a game made in RPG Maker 2000 with influences from The Neverending Story and Michael Ende's novel Momo, among other things. it explores the necessity of fantasy and adventure and things that don't exist for the human soul, as well as the loss of memories.

Well, here it is. I tried to edit the end game thing in the status menu, that broke everything, so I fixed by copying the mojibake'd text from the unused auto-battle selection, so that's what アウト does. Here is the April Fools Feast V1_24 English patch beta. drive.google.com/file/d/113St...

...so, even though I'm editing the glossary directly, setting the End Game option in Glossary 5 in April Fools Feast to anything with English letters breaks the fonts and the game in general. this is literally the last thing I need to fix before I upload the beta for playtesting.

I'm going to be posting the link for the beta of April Fools Feast translation soon. Does anyone have any corrections for the Dogma translation? No one has yet given me any feedback on it, so if not it'll be moved out of my top message as the current beta game and AFF will replace it.

it's snowing here. ech. it's April. stahp.

after all this time... I've beaten Zakuzaku Actors... I've been pushing through Zakuzaku Actors... I've even played some Zakuzaku Actors... but it might finally be time... for Zakuzaku Actors.

for April Fools Feast, this is a code to come back from a certain boss battle: 3, 3, 5, 4, 2, 5, 3, 3, 4, 5, 3 invert it to get to the boss. I'm mainly writing this down because it's horribly annoying to figure out in game.

is there a way to share .midi tracks like one shares links or images in a post? I've got a habit of collecting midis from all the old RPGM games I download, and once in a while one really hits me... and I listen to it on loop for hours while I work.

「冷蔵庫内における キャベツの液化現象についての考察」 never thought I'd translate a line like this. (from Saihate Hospital)

even in an entire kingdom of undead, dog beats skeleton.

the hardest part of making my NSFW account for Hollowwald's release is turning out to be finding a profile picture like the one for this account is just an edited image from Zakuzaku that I originally intended to edit and add messages to regarding further TLs, but I got lazy and left the sign blank.

Space Doggy Log (Wanwan datte Uchuu no Shinpi) has been translated into English by the Patchy Illusion Team!!! This time it's another patch since you gotta buy the game off booth. Instructions are on the page! patchy-illusion-team.itch.io/space-doggy-...

starting my alpha playthrough of the April Fools Feast English TL today. All images done, all maps and database done. The 'End Game' from status menu option is still untranslated, but I'll have to see how to fix that, and tbh it's not all that important.

got a tablet (2 of them actually) for reading visual novels in bed tried to install W10 LTSC and for some reason it's duplicating the display and putting it over itself over and over, creating a nigh-unreadable multiple layer pileup of what would be the normal install prompts. ...maybe 8 or 7, then?

Getting on to the final image editing for April Fools Feast. The first is how Gimp converts the image, and the second with the selection rectangle is how it was supposed to look. I kind of like the weird gear-ish looking Os?

Found a problem... When importing the Vocab StringScript into The April Fools Feast, it seems to be swapping the version or somehow breaking the formatting. The character file names in the RTP end up corrupted, at least...

kana from zakuzaku actors (figurative and literal giant lesbian)

trying to at least upload the new versions of Random Dungeon and Princess and the Rose Knight TLs to RMN, and... I've completely forgotten how to upload game files to that site. or did they change it? I can't make any sense of what I'm supposed to do anyway.

finishing up the April Fools' Feast alpha translation on April 1st... Yes, I was pushing hard to do it and took vacation time as well, but... I'm not sure if I want to release it quite yet. the computer I've been working on is normally my testing environment (my laptop) so it's not in JP locale.

ウラメシヤクザキッズ (an aspiring band's name) U ra me shi ya ku za kiddzu Urameshiya (literally about grudges/regrets, but now it's like boo, I'mma scare ya, Curssse you, etc. A ghost phrase) Yakuza (Japanese organized crime) Kids (Kids, the band seems young) Now, how to put this compound pun into English?

Release: English version of Mio (30)'s Memoria of Creation (創造のメモリア). Download is available from the following catbox album: catbox.moe/c/hl3e6h This game "officially" concludes Mio's Soldieress Saga series, though it is perfectly enjoyable stand-alone as well.

is there any guide somewhere for decrypting and translating RMMZ games? I'm doing a small one as practice and so far it's feeling impossible to even get the game to open in the editor, although I know it isn't impossible.

VS妖精王国 #ざくアクアート

was contacted by someone who wanted to remain anonymous that they've got an idea for a mod of Random Dungeon based on my translation - basically, give the game a proper finale with the oft-mentioned Pazuzu as the true final boss via an alternate timeline time warp in the other world map...

updating Zakuzaku and Random Dungeon links since I've made updates to the game files. ...was there anything else I was missing? I'm going to be away from my main station for about the next ten days so I want to get my updates available.
