There are a few new movers and shakers...
* Someone by the nick of
Psyklax is translating and hacking another SFC title but it may not be what anybody here is looking for and it's not even covered in Implicid's lists as of this moment! It's called
Battle Robot Retsuden. It's a Gundam-licensed strategy game and made by Winkysoft and Banpresto of Super Robot Wars and many Gundam titles' fame (check
Page 8 here for more info about them). Check this
Giantbomb page for the Gundam anime series featured.
The enemies in the screenshots do look repetitive but the weapon variety could be awesome. Still there's not much dialogue but that's good news for Psyklax. He's only got over 1000 characters and four banks of characters to tinker with. Early starts but progressing well. He's got experience with translating and hacking a few games on platforms other than the SFC and now this one. At least it's nice that one more SFC title is still being translated. Also can you imagine if he'd use his gained experience to work on more Gundam titles?!
* Also despite Avicalendriya having sadly concluded his hacking work on Ganbare Goemon 2 he was meant to transfer all of his graphics work to Gideon. But that's no longer the case as, yet again,
ddstranslation, a truly great romhacker in his own right, has offered to help stitch it up! Awesome! Seems like DDS has been doing only the big, popular games,
! But I think DDS is pretty keen on the GG series. Avi has said that only the title and game over screens needs much work and that he'll redo them. That's nice...
* Surprising news this: gc8tech is romhacking
Genjuu Ryodan, a TBS, which is amazingly coincidental as I had just been reading a
HG101 article about it only last month or before! Still a long way to go yet... Its developer Crea-Tech also made the Metal Max series.
