OVERDRIVE looking for game scripters
December 25th, 2008, by in Translation
It appears that OVERDRIVE, original publisher of MangaGamer’s Edelweiss, has posted a request on their staff blog for three (Japanese) people to help them with the technical process of creating versions of currently released games for an European and American audience, including tuning the scripting in their current games. Apparently, English ability is not a required skill but will result in a fatter paycheck. It looks like the technical aspects of the game engine are handled by OVERDRIVE, while the translation and distribution are handled by MangaGamer. At least this is a good sign that OVERDRIVE wishes to continue in their endeavor. Thanks to TakaJun for the heads up.
