Indie Japanese novel game maker ventures into English translation
March 12th, 2010, by in Release, Translation
A person going by the handle Waitingforyouguys sent us email and informed us that he had created an English translation of the trial version of Kisaragi-no-Hogyoku, a short novel game he wrote for the iPhone. This game was adapted from a novel published on the creator’s site. The game does not use character sprites, but rather black and white full-screen images with text on the bottom half of the screen. The story revolves around the formation of “Ren” pairs between students at school and the competition for the top “Ren” pair. The translation is decent, although there are a few typos. Furthermore, the creator is seeking people who know both Japanese and English to help with the translation of the full game.

Assorted MangaGamer news
February 19th, 2010, by in Release, Translation
MangaGamer has now released their latest title Cosplay Alien according to
planschedule. The fandisk Edelweiss Eiden Fantasia has also been assigned a release date of March 20, according to a post on the official staff blog. There will be plans to offer a bundle package for those who have not purchased the original game, Edelweiss. We also had a chance to talk to someone from MangaGamer, and they’ve indicated that they’ve now picked a new font and it should start appearing in games once the programming to incorporate the new font is completed. However, currently unreleased games that are mostly finished will probably not get the new font.
