As for the sequel--Traverse: Starlight & Prairie--I believe I did work on that a while ago, but I think some one was doing that game as well, so I scrapped it.
That was my first thought as well. It has a listing at FantasyAnime (
http://fantasyanime.com/garden/translat ... m#traverse) and the project is attributed to Yunin[sic] No Translators (supposed to be "Yonin no Translators), which
according to this thread is dead as of 2012.
You'll have to forgive us old-timers as it's hard to keep up with the shifting winds in this hobby.
It may have been 5-6 years ago, but that isn't all that long ago in "romhacking-time". Heck, that's around when I started working on Aretha II.
I seem to remember this is why I advocated for the ability to add in-progress projects to RHDN so there was a more centralized record of who was theoretically working on what. I think they may have actually implemented that now, but it's so long past the point when I'd advocated for it, that I don't ever use it. Either that, or I'm confusing it with a feature added for some other reason.

Hey, that's really cool, good project choice in my book.
Would be cool to see GSM finished too. By the way, there's also a GSM PCE-CD game which came out after the SFC game, buuut... it's a VN with some light RPG elements, with a ton of text, as you might expect. I think KingMike also worked on Coryon Land in the past? That one I tried ages ago, and it was also pretty good.
I consider KingMike to be a pillar of the hobby. Actually, my first released patches were with him (Kalin no Tsurugi, and Dai Meiro Meikyuu no Tatsujin), and he's done a ton of stuff. He's also active in maintaining RHDN and hangs out here on this board.
As for the Ghost Sweeper CD games, there are a lot of other CD games I'd rather work on before GSM. I took a look at the GSM anime a handful of years back and it wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped it would be. Phantom Quest Corp. is way cooler.

Well, just some food for thought; there are still some pretty good platformers/action games for SFC left, after all.
Lol, I should hope so! There are only
hundreds of untranslated games on the SFC. There's got to be plenty of great stuff there. EDIT: Or do you subscribe to
Sturgeon's Law?
