For those who follow these things (probably closer than I), the combat trial for the Upcoming SMT-But-Not-Really Death March was posted, and since I’m pretty sure it might go unmocked if I didn’t say anything, ye lords is it a mess of poor interface design and sloooooooooow game, even on top of that awful Idea Factory Bravely Default style of RPG. The straw that sent this from “not worth mocking” to “this is seriously how they choose to advertise their product?” came when the harmless giant golem clipped through an entire convenience store. Fantastic work, team.
I am officially finished translating for 2013. It took two computers, my free time/unemployment, and one gall bladder, but now I can… move on to all the remaining interface, secondary stuff, and red tape. Sigh. Oh well. Maybe I can pretend like 2014 is extra productive after getting just one thing out this year… which I had for all means and purposes finished working on in November of 2012. Sigh again. Time to break out the whiskey. And/or get started on that winter preview, I guess.
Remember when I wasn’t lazy and actually combed through the Comiket catalog? Pshaw. There’s another couple hundred lines of sexy time left for me to finish before it’s back to Photoshop to finish the interface. Thankfully once I finish the next one, there’s only about 15 lines per… uh… act of writhing flesh piles. Unfortunately, it’s across 12 females. And of course, be continually annoyed by writing styles, vocabulary, grammar, and presentation being totally putzed up in fandisks. Is it really so hard to glance back at your own stuff and make sure the interns you got to write your orgies are matching your style? Back to work.
Game on? Game on. In case you missed the news, Romanesque is back in Pog Jast form. And no, I have no idea how Jast did it. Or why either after MG got snubbed. I just got an e-mail one day saying "Hey. We’ve got the license." My primary working theory is hoodoo. I have learned that Sofurin now doesn’t like me. Like, a lot apparently. So that’s something to come out of it. Now to just finish Seinarukana and all its materia arcanae. Also, to re-create my work environment. What fun.
