Thanksgiving stuff (November 27th, 2008)

I should probably try using this forum as more like a blog or something, instead of posting "minor" updates within threads.

I finished reviewing and inserting what I have of Nusakan0's first draft of the main dialogue script. I put a few extra touches on it myself. I gotta say, everything's turning out awesome so far, and we're not even done yet.

I'm also writing up a massive readme file for the release. It touches on almost every aspect of the project you could probably want. The file's 35KB as plain text so far, and I still have a lot more to write about. Full, detailed project history, detailed info on what we had to do to make this possible, and even more. I hope some will find it interesting.

Being a sub-board, any new posts here are inconspicuous when I'm not looking closely.

But yeah, that readme sounds interesting. I went through the Mother 3 translation notes and the Itoi interviews they translated. It's great stuff to see what went into translation and when translators throw in bonuses like those interviews.

Planning any other external bonuses when the patch is done?

The funny thing is, the Mother 3 readme's the inspiration for the one I'm writing. I can't say it'll contain things like interviews, though. It'll just have a lot of information on the various things we did, from translation and editing decisions and the hacking process.

I just finished a little section detailing the few differences in the naming convention from the official localizations. Not just being a reference to people, but it's also sort of like an open letter to Namco USA hoping to bring these little things to their attention. None of it is weeaboo indignation or anything...just stuff they'll hopefully adopt or create their own spin on in the future. I'm not demanding them to do things exactly as we have chosen.

As for other things, we'll see. I don't have anything planned, but I also don't have any ideas.

Even though I'm going against this with this post, I should now mention that the first draft of the main dialogue script edit from Nusakan0 is finished, less one file! I'll have it inserted over the next few days.

Uhhhhh, I love tech/geek talk, bring it on.
