It's been quiet around here...
I recently moved in with my dad, after just having celebrated my 40th birthday. I'm pretty okay with this, despite how easy it would be to put myself down for it. I'm getting back on my feet, and aside from a constricted cash flow, I'm running my own business and things aren't so bad.
On the (additional?) plus side, with all my crap packed away, and some pressure relieved, I'm doing more translation hacking than normal. It strikes me as sad how easy it can be to make progress on a translation project when the distractions of adult life are not eating you alive.
I decided to poke at
Nakayama Miho's Tokimeki High School for the FDS literally one week ago today, and I've already made a table file, found and dumped possibly all the game's text, inserted a title screen, inserted a font, made an English table file, inserted the translated menu items, and translated about 20-25% of the script. I've only been able to do this because I have almost no life distractions aside from focusing on my business and doing this in my spare time.
How much more would we all do if only our lives were less... Controlled, constrained, desperate? Not sure what it is, but it makes this work hard to do.
Anyway, just wanted to rant, and mention my work on
Tokimeki High School. I still need to get back to someone who offered to help me with
Maison Ikkoku on the Famicom as well, and I'm translating the script for
Power Dolls 3 because?
I've been checking the
Famicom library though, and
damn. There is some fine looking stuff that's been left on the table. I'm still surprised that some of these games have just been sitting around this whole time. Planning to dig into at least one or two more Famicom/FDS games before I get back to what my focus really should be which is finishing up some of the great stuff Esperknight and I were working on years ago.
