Crime Crackers's main dialog proportional font is fully working! Haven't settled on an actual font yet and the text isn't final by any means, but it's working :) @rahanakero.bsky.social (who did Splatterworld) has translated all of Act 1 so far!

My latest video is about a 1992 sideview action RPG from Koei based on Dante's "Divine Comedy" called “Tamashii no Mon ~Dante ‘Shinkyoku’ Yori~”. It turned out to be a beautiful PC-98 game that I had no idea existed until one of my patrons requested it. youtu.be/j9Qe7Z5xoI0

Hello, everyone overseas. This time, I’m going to introduce the development materials for the NES game *Metal Slider Glory*. These are the actual tools used during development, and with just this single disk, you can create everything from pixel art to animations.

I think it's great when a 'gameplay' cutscene, like a qte bit, still has damage numbers pop up, that's the good shit

I've updated the Krita dithering brush set. Summary: 1. The meta-data was updated (website and email was out of date). 2. The brush dynamics are improved so the brushes are opaque at the edges when using light tablet pressure. pixelglade.net.au/resources/fr... #pixelart #ドット絵 #brush #krita

old games were perfect and optimized

when you don't give the horse any cake

Yeah, we all noticed.

‼️| Sakura Wars game director Akira Nishino confirms there's plans for the 30th anniversary in recent Continue mag interview, saying they want to do something new that will lead to more projects in the future. Adding it could be in any medium since SW is a multimedia franchise!

hey screamer kicks ass, and also kicks my ass

You cannot call it that. You can not.

3月21日は＜サクラ大戦４ 恋せよ乙女＞発売ですね おめでとうございます！🌸🎊 #サクラ大戦 記録を見ると翌2003年5月には私も「サクラV」取材旅行でNYへレッドの一員として同行してました😄

Phantasy Star II celebrates its 37th anniversary today, and we have two great interviews covering its development. This one comes from The World of Phantasy Star; my favorite detail is how the fiendishly complex dungeons were the result of a tryharding new employee. shmuplations.com/phantasystar...

Sakura Wars Lost Media Found for the First Time!! I was recently able to obtain and scan 30 NEVER BEFORE SEEN Character Design Sheets of the Shanghai Revue and its supporting cast from the cancelled Sakura Wars MMO! I hope you'll enjoy them! archive.org/details/saku...

sorry folks but this is the only deadlock i can care about

Hi everyone. Things have been happening in the fan-translation scene and I've been overdue in talking about them. For the first time ever I've made a long writeup. Please read it and feel free to reach out to me with comments.

Hope you got a nice bonus from Jensen for this one, guys

New video is up! It talks about rhe various experiences Sierra and LucasArts had with porting games to Japan, as well as edge cases like Fujitsu Habitat and Sierra importing Thexder. youtu.be/MGswiIXCXXE

This is a cute illustration bidding farewell to the Mega Drive, featuring many of Sega's most iconic characters on the console and its many add-ons. Taken from the September 1995 issue of Sega Saturn Magazine.

What if retro visual novels like Tokimeki Memorial and Dōkyūsei were gay? Here's my gay OC with an intended male POV. Hope you like this one! I'm really happy with it. More details: pixelglade.net.au/updatesarchi... #pixelart #ドット絵 #pc98 #veganartist #commsopen

happy international women's day

Happy International Women's Day! С Международным женским днём!

BABYMETALDEATH #babymetal #edwinhuang a work in progress shot of my latest piece

if you like wigglypaint or cool little things in general, this blog post from the person behind it is infuriating; ai shitbros stole his project, rehosted it with ads and ai garbage added in beyondloom.com/blog/onwiggl...

New video essay is up! I swear this is my final word on Love Letters and nostalgia-bait, approached from the convenient on-ramp of 1995’s Chrono Trigger, a superb game that I never want to hear anyone (including me (especially me)) talk about ever again.

明日に間に合わせる。 #サクラ大戦

Weekend Project: Translate the Windows 95 version of A-Train 1 into English, introduce scaled graphics so it can be enjoyed on modern monitors, make map editor easily accessible. Available now at github.com/maspling/a-t... if anyone is curious about the start of the long running series.

New generative AI statement for @hinterland.bsky.social's games, being added first to the Episode Five build launching at the end of March. (Needs some formatting tweaks for widescreens apparently...😅)

Snatcher & Knuckles Two pics I did for a funny twitter trend lol

Definitely edited with care to make it just as good as a 'purist, human' translation lmao

What’s especially bad about Segagaga are the amount of obscure references and terminology that require someone well-versed in gaming and specifically Sega history to work around in translation Something MTL simply can. Not. Do.

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

2026 is the year i start getting into .hack

Dumb thing I decided to do this year - beat every version of Ys III (Wanderers, not Felghana). So first had to be the PC88 original. Once you get used to the scrolling it wasn't too bad, except for that fuckin' dog boss. Bad dog.
