Shadowrun Update: less buggy, more talky

Posted by cj_iwakura on February 24, 2015

This update squashes a lot of bugs. Battles look normal, too!

There’s obvious glitches, but oh well.

Without further ado:

The Sakura Wars [PC] Fan Translation Project

Posted by cj_iwakura on September 1, 2014

I’ve been waiting to formally announce this, and now it’s time.

For the unfamiliar, there was a PC port of the original Sakura Wars. It was released on just about everything, after all, since it took Japan by storm.

At some point, for some reason, it got a Russian release.

So it was then decided by some adventurous hackers that this would be the ideal avenue for a US release.

Sadly, their endeavors fell through.

Ours won’t.

That’s right, Iwakura Productions has officially taken over ownership of the Sakura Wars Fan Translation.

I’ll be editing, EsperKnight is hacking, and a translator by the name of Nezumi was kind enough to volunteer.

This is a brand new translation as well. No prior scripts are being used or referenced.

We’ve already got the script 1/12th completed. And insertion has begun.

Without further ado…

LIPS prompts will need tweaking, as you can see, but they work great.

Stay tuned. Imperial Floral Assault Troupe is go!

Serial Experiments Lain (PSX) Script release!

Posted by cj_iwakura on August 10, 2014

I swear this is sheer coincidence, I had no idea this was coming…

A PDF format which translates the entire game’s massive script, including all FMVs and diary entries.

Having played the game, I can tell you that this is no small feat. While it is theoretically possible to incorporate this into the game, due to the fact that the dialogue has no on-screen subtitles or scripting(and most of it is just audio-only), it would be a massive undertaking. This is pretty much the best bet at experiencing SEL for the indefinite future.

If you enjoy Lain’s twisted world, you won’t be disappointed.

Shadowrun (Sega CD): In-game text, insertion underway!

Posted by cj_iwakura on April 27, 2014

Been a long time coming…

It has begun, chummers.

Esper managed to get the script inserted. We have yet to do any tweaking, but it’s there!

Basically at this point we need to fine tune it, correct any erroneous pointers(see the black screen in the battles), and hopefully apply a fixed-width font so the sentences actually fit.

Most of the cut-offs are due to the JP version having a three line limitation.

This is from one of my favorite scenarios. The runners are checking locations in Shibuya to find out the whereabouts of the Shadow Mage… and get more than they bargained for.

From Shram, the project lead:

There is 0.5 alpha of the full release. It’s buggy and I don’t know if it’s even beatable.

Gotta start somewhere. Hope you all enjoy.

Get this vscript file. (UPDATED, earlier one was incorrect.)

You can find the other files elsewhere in previous posts.

If you have yet to download the patch:

Here is 1.10:

Enjoy, and as always, comment or email me if you find any issues.

Golden Reverie Movelist Upload

Posted by cj_iwakura on November 22, 2013

Warrants a new post since I overlooked it. Feedback has been largely positive, aside from an observation regarding the use of oba/obaa-san’s translation which will be addressed in the 1.10 patch.
