Ten years ago on this day, Root Double -Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition was first released in English! One of my favorite games of all time, I had longed for years to translate it so as to share with the English-speaking world. And on this day, that dream finally came true. (1/3)

Localization director, J-E translator, and head of Lemnisca LLC! Resume: Root Double, Dies irae, Raging Loop, Iwaihime, SD Gundam Battle Alliance, Kara no Shoujo trilogy, Sword Art Online: Last Recollection, Kamitsubaki City Regenerate, Super Robot Wars Y
Virtual Ties: Isekaijoucho Träumerei is now out for Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4! The game is an idol training simulation/VN hybrid starring a fictionalized version of virtual singer Isekaijoucho! We handled the English localization of the game, so we hope you all play and enjoy it!
Death Match Love Comedy, the first game in the series Raging Loop is a part of, is now out in English today on all platforms! Much like Raging Loop, I worked on the localization of this one, this time as a translator and editor, and I'm delighted to see it available in the English speaking world!
The Cartagra Switch release is now out! I was not involved in the localization for this one, but for those of you who have been waiting on the latest version of Cartagra to come out in English before playing the entire Kara no Shoujo/The Shell series, it's here now on the JP Nintendo eShop!
(For some reason the last post in this chain was labeled as spam even though it isn't, it's the list of the localization team members for both projects.)
The localization teams for both projects are as follows: Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club: Translation: @jhoopergace.bsky.social Editing: @ursamega.com Virtual Ties: Translation: @azurephoenix.bsky.social Editing: @ursamega.com Localization direction: @jhoopergace.bsky.social
And for our second announcement, we are also in charge of the English localization of next year's Virtual Ties, an idol training simulation/VN hybrid where you help an fledgling idol get her career off the ground and take the music world by storm!
For our first announcement, we handled the English localization of the newly released Kamitsubaki Academy Newspaper Club for Steam and Switch, a VN/board game hybrid where you must team up with the members of the local school newspaper club to investigate various mysteries throughout a bizarre city!
Long time no see, everybody! We at Lemnisca have a surprise for all of you today: Not just one, but TWO separate project announcements!
I'd like to announce that I served as a translator on Super Robot Wars Y. This series has been a longtime favorite of mine, and it was a dream of mine for many years to work on it. I'm beyond honored to have had this opportunity to work on one of them with such a fantastic localization team.
