Currently translating Naruto: Konoha Senki. If I post about romhacking stuff it's probably from working on that.
Also no, I haven't forgot about Naruto Konoha Senki lol. I put too much on my plate and I'm going to Japan this week, but when I come back I'm going to try churning through my project backlog then revamping the codebase.
It's nice watching people enjoy Spectral Tower after seeing so much bashing online. If you think of it as an arcade game for the PS1, I think it's easier to understand what Idea Factory might have been going for.

Got 5,000 hours to spare?

Spectral Tower has a bad rep but honestly I felt it was more like outsider art when I played it. Yeah it's not made like other games and some of the choices make absolutely no sense but there's a kind of fun and wonder in digging into games this bizarre and obtuse.
Some of you are jumping on this tile every chance you can get.
At one point, a thief stole all my items including the sword I had equipped, and when I got lucky and killed him he didn't drop any of it. Perfect game, no notes.

genuinely considering just entirely redoing the naruto codebase after seeing some other code from romhacking projects im on
Sorry about the lack of updates. I've honestly just been busy with another project that should be releasing this year, work, and living real life. Here's some pics from camping recently.
Microsoft has gotta do something about their tendency to make sure their users have as many windows open as possible. Word, Excel, Outlook, Notepad...blasted by a gazillion windows on startup.
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN IS AN ANIME?????? AND OSAMU DEZAKI DIRECTED IT?????????? world shattering stuff.
lol my dad was blown away the my computer had 2 monitors attached when he came to visit
Happy 10th anniversary to the sequel story to Lost Kefin! In all seriousness, Ys 8 is a really wonderful game! Everyone should play it!
i did it... loved trails from start to finish. up there with ys 8 for me.
Sorry guys, if you've been wondering where the progress is...I had to take a break. I will be back on it soon but now that I'm back on my feet I'm going to fulfill a couple other project obligations first.
I've put this off long enough. Because one post on machine translation and the devaluation of human labor wasn't enough, I wrote even more words about it than before (2900, to be precise), this time from one former fan translator to another. Or at least, some of you out there.
What's Not Yours Isn't Theirs, Either
On the disturbing rise of LLMs and machine translation post-editing in fan translations.

The variable width font is getting there (i totally underestimated how hard this would be to do)
Started working on inserting a VWF for Konoha Senki. Hopefully I'll have some updates soon.

Kaisaan@kaisaan.bsky.social · 5mo agoHi everyone! I am so proud to announce that the final patch of Lost Kefin is finally here! Check it out here: github.com/Kaisaan/lost... As always, let me know if there's anything I missed either here or in my Discord: discord.gg/JnqvyDryen Thank you so much to everyone that supported me!
Holy smokes...learned my lesson about writing shitty assembly lol. If you're wondering why there haven't been many Naruto updates lately it's because I was tracking down a bug that shows up partway from the game that ended up being from assembly I wrote and "tested" months ago lol
