Generation Xth: Code Hazard [PC] Fan Translation

Posted by cj_iwakura on

Yeah, a few days late in posting about this here. I’m a tester for this one, and the hacker I work with is doing the coding along with another translator.

Full disclosure: I’ve never heard of this game.

But it’s

*Cyberpunk

*Modern-futuristic

*Dungeon-crawling.

Sold.

From the project lead, Shram:

Team Muramasa, to exaggerate slightly, are responsible for the resurgence of Wizardry-clones (old-school, first-person dungeon romps) in the East, and subsequently in the West. The popularity of their official Wizardry games, Xth and Xth 2 on the PS2, caused a flood of games like Elminage, Etrian Odyssey, Unchained Blades, and many more.

The Wizardry Xth games boasted a fairly open world, an extremely intuitive but in-depth crafting system, and many overall improvements to the Wizardry formula, particularly focusing on speed and efficiency of controls. They took that formula to the indie PC scene in 2007 and created the Generation Xth trilogy, the first entry of which, Code Hazard, is the reason why you are here now.

Team Muramasa continued after the Generation Xth trilogy to create Meikyu X Cross Blood, then Students of the Round, which was successful enough to warrant a 360 and PSP port, and now they’re working on two new dungeon games for the PSVita and 360 under Kadokawa publishing, called Demon Gaze and The Stranger of the Town of the Blade (Tsurugi no Machi no Ihoujin).

Hope you all find them as enjoyable as I do.

Here’s pics.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy it as much as I am.

Rhythm & Gaming Obscura Podcast: Episode 1

Posted by cj_iwakura on

After listening to a ton of podcasts over the holiday, I was inspired to do something a little different.

Note: the audio is a bit off balance. The music came out louder than the spoken portions. This should be fixed next time, so just be careful if you have the speakers up high during the spoken segments.

Little under an hour long, you can listen to me ramble on about assorted projects, rhythm games, and quirky stuff I’ve been playing recently.

Legend:

00:50 – Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers

11:27 – Pump It Up Fiesta 2

Addie’s Present [PS1 Fan Translation]

Posted by cj_iwakura on

Yeah, here’s another one.

 


This is like no other game I’ve ever seen. It’s an adventure/mystery/puzzle game where you play as Addie, who’s just received a mysterious present called the Loglock.

This is like no other game I’ve ever seen. It’s an adventure/mystery/puzzle game where you play as Addie, who’s just received a mysterious present called the Loglock.

Much of the game is spent deciphering its mysteries, as well as those of Addie’s world, and those she knows. Script is in the works, as is the hacking. I’ll likely be editing, as is my calling.

Tom from XSEED previewed it a while ago. Here’s his vid of Japanese gameplay:

And the pre pre pre pre Alpha(emphasis EsperKnight’s) of the gameplay.


I think the game looks wonderful, hopefully you all do too.

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon R[GBC]: Fan Translation Beta In Action!

Posted by cj_iwakura on

Enjoy! I’m playing, so excuse how bad I am at this game, I’d never played it before.

FAQ~

“So why is the translation so horrible?”
-This is a raw translation. I’ll be editing it, and I’m a diehard Sailor Moon fan, so expect quality.

“What kind of game is it?”
Part roaming, part V/N(uh, sorta), part platforming/action(best part).

Oh, and that Sailor V video game Usagi plays at Crown Parlor? IN GAME. AND AWESOME.

Shikigami no Shiro / Castle Shikigami – Open Beta!

Posted by cj_iwakura on

Yep, you heard me right.

All the endings and story dialogue is done. The gallery and errata’s gonna take a little time.

So I want to share what we have done.

It’s time.

You need Shikigami no Shiro !!EX!! installed on your computer to run the patch.

(We in no way condone piracy, and you don’t want Alfa System out for our heads, do you?)

I have included everything you need beyond that.
Replace the appropriate files, and enjoy. (We’ll work out a proper patch installer before long.)

Of course, this is a beta, so this isn’t quite finished. We expect feedback(and/or hatemail).

Read the translation guide if you have questions, I spent like an hour of it.
(Read all of it, I think you’ll like what awaits at the end.)

Thanks for the support. We got big things coming down the pipeline.

ENJOY! 😀
