Just got done with a whopper of a Yuuyami text file: 400 lines. I enjoyed translating this section as it had some great 90s references like the Game Boy Color and the Universal Century from the Gundam series.

Just got done translating some more Yuuyami and this game deals with some heavy themes such as bullying and losing the will to live and the ghosts haunting places.

Suzuki Bakuhatsu Patch 1.2 out now.
This updates 4 text entries that were "correct" according to the game's text structure, but corrupted RAM because they were actually one line too long. They worked when testing the previous patch, so I missed the real issue.

Got several more text files done in Yuuyami. This game has some really great character dynamics: school rivalries, cliques, the trails and tribulations of being a kid in an environment where life can feel so heavy.
Capturing each character's emotions just right is a really fun exercise.

As you know, I had been working on a Goku Gekitouden translation. I was making good progress.
But recently a MTL patch was released by someone else. Sadly the translation is pretty poor.
I'll keep working on my patch for now, but if their translation is fixed, I'll likely drop my version.

Suzuki Bakuhatsu re-subtitling underway. Haven't used Aegisub in years, so gotta get used to it again.

Suzuki Bakuhatsu re-subtitling underway. Haven't used Aegisub in years, so gotta get used to it again.
Update:
I initially said that I would have a Suzuki Bakuhatsu fix patch out in the next day or so, but I've decided to re-subtitle the FMVs. The initial result was hard to read due to the software I was using. I'm going to change my workflow and redo them. They'll be easier to read in patch 1.1.

A fix patch for Suzuki Bakuhatsu will be coming in a day or two. It will correct a text buffer overload error that caused the game to crash in just two places. It will also fix one untranslated line that I missed. I will also add additional subtitles in a few FMVs.
Stay tuned.

May be gone for a couple of days as I'm migrating my environment from Windows to Linux.
Also, a few people have raised concerns that the Yuuyami translation may use AI. I just want to reiterate that the translation is being done by two human translators. There will also be several QA passes.
