There are a few people in games that are so singularly stable that any change to that will send ripple of concern or consequence through the industry, and very rarely will anyone outside of game dev know their names. Sjoerd choosing to leave Epic is definitely one of those moments.

I've put this off long enough. Because one post on machine translation and the devaluation of human labor wasn't enough, I wrote even more words about it than before (2900, to be precise), this time from one former fan translator to another. Or at least, some of you out there.

"Urban Myth Dissolution Center" developer MOCHIKIN has now added English support to their "9 Steam Games I Want to Spread" website. New features have also been added such as top 100 games and searching for specific games in other lists. 9games.pages.dev

Normal British politics be like:

Could Persona 6 come out in Summer 2027 then?

Well, Persona 4 Revival looks great. Very excited to revisit this game next year! Interested to see how certain late game scenes are rebuilt 👀

Watching this, reactions below #P4R

Another openly queer person who worked on Sakura Wars is none other than series creator Oji Hiroi. He opened up in his 90s radio program "Hiroi Oji no Multi-Tengoku" as well as a recent 2017 interview about liking and having dated boys in the past.

I hope someone, somewhere cracks down on this shit. It’s basically akin to breaking into someone’s shop and stealing all their wares to sell elsewhere. Another example of why GenAI sucks and should be taken down.

New video! Mother 3 is the most famous English fan translation project in gaming history, so of course we're gonna discuss it in the first Fan Translations Extra video! Watch now! #PromoSky youtu.be/Fcu7D5UF0FM?...

Lmao

After hearing feedback, we disabled downloads for machine translated content. Downloads are available upon request for those wanting to use these patches as bases for a fully human-done script. This was the primary motivator of serving this content, and it is not our intent to go into AI discourse

Jack Jeanne worldwide sales top 250,000 copies An otome x rhythm game created by Ishida Sui (Tokyo Ghoul) and written by him and his sister, Towada Shin (Tokyo Ghoul LNs) Kisa secretly enrolls in an elite all-boys drama school where students play both male and female roles

i think what saddens me the most about all these studios closing is looking at Silksong and Mina the Hollower the real magic happens when a team stays together for years and you can grow your skills and evolve instead of destroying the medium for shareholder yacht #3847

For an industry that claims it wants new stories with new protagonists, new IPs with character, and stories that haven't been done before. There is virtually no long-term support for the studios that take the risk of creating these games. It's not sustainable.

We're overjoyed to see Tales of Eternia is next the next remaster. We had been working on a retranslation that includes skits and this art by @michellekristolia.bsky.social was prepared for the release. Please enjoy this art now as a celebration for the official remaster!

Almost as if JRPGs and first party games with reasonable dev cycles drive higher viewers.

Much like AI, the bubble for these age verifications will pop when this blows up in the governments old faces

Try asking Australian kids how their easily circumventable social media ban is going.

So sick of AI slop fan TLs 😒 At least it makes my job creating the Fan Translations series easier

really gotta wonder what they mentality of someone is that they'd believe in the results of LLM enough that they'd "use the strongest models" and "burn a lot of tokens" to have something done, but then, like, still feel the need to be coy about what they did until directly confronted about it

Just had a look on the romhacking database while scripting the next Fan Translations video and... Langrisser V's English patch just dropped?! What the hell?! www.romhacking.net/translations...

Sony was really cutting off their own legs with this move, because in their own reports, China was a huge growth area for them, as well as South America, India and more regions where console adoption was low. You know who isn't pulling future console games off PC? Microsoft.

Sudden left-field, but @yuvi.app successfully inserted the script for Innocent Tears (for the Xbox(!?)) I translated a while back! Still a WIP, but I'm glad to see this one off the ground! Gotta bring the "best" games possible, regardless of console~

So after SEGA threw Kamitani under the bus cause Unicorn Overlord came to Xbox over PC, Kamitani indirectly does the same thing to SEGA. Makes sense.

Again, if anybody had thought to talk to the translators that were among the very first guinea pigs for much of the underlying technology and workflows for over a decade, we could've told you this is exactly what would happen to your productivity. But who needs to put a face to translation anyway? 🥴

My Mother 3 Fan Translations video is now up for Patreons and channel members! Also added some extra video development commentary (including cut content) on Patreon for anyone interested :) www.patreon.com/millasgamero...

Very good point. Willing to bet it's because Snoop Dogg is well known within RGG's main target market (ie. the West), compared to a bunch of Japanese actors nobody knows anything about. Case in point,, who outside Japan knew Kagawa exists before Kiwami 3?

Oh this is great news!

It would be lovely to see this localised alongside the first game.

HARUKAZE's visual novel "Monkeys!¡" has been licensed in English and Chinese by Shiravune. The visual novel is by the same creative team behind "Marco & The Galaxy Dragon" and "The Princess, the Stray Cat, and Matters of the Heart." store.steampowered.com/app/3883050/...

btw I guess I just don't think it would be THAT professionally devastating if one person who got face time with Asha Sharma this weekend expressed concerns about Xbox being a BDS target and asked if they were doing anything to get off that list.

Right off the back of a great Summer Showcase too. Rough.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

This game is so gonna be so worth the wait.

It's only taken nine months, but i've finally finished the original Growlanser 🥳 video coming soon!

That Nintendo Direct was crazy for RPG fans. Thankfully, I am one.

After many years of development, the Kowloon's Gate English Patch is now available.

Tales of Eternia Remastered is confirmed to feature a new translation. The question is: will it finally credit all the localizers and English voice actors by name after omitting them for the majority of the series' history?

There are tons of cultural spaces where abuse is just transparently glorified and rewarded, instrumental to gaining power and leadership: fraternities, many academic and artistic spaces, the military, and so on.

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.
