Yeah, Melee - Walk 100 Meters is literally my transformation power

I need walk 100 meters from Pika I think

I hinted a bunch of my required items as well

I've played P4/Golden, P5/Royal, and SMT V/VV if those count. I'd probably only count Golden of those three.

new FlipWitch YAML for me please

I really need a pizza

or true I always forget that's a thing

idk what everyone's timeframe will be in general though

as long as that's ok with you

worst case scenario, we can forcibly release your games if everyone else is 100% done and waiting on you while you're out

This is really easy to do if you do it through the website Phijkchu_Pikachu Also formal request to polu to look into/figure out to how to set the hint % thing and lower it to 5%

I know in Pokemon, random things like pokeballs are considered useless, but a TM may be considered a useful item.

oh that's neat

yeah that's fair

that's still pretty long. It's fine for an async of course, but you will likely be the last to finish I'd imagine.

Do you know what the expected length of this game is for an archipelago? Dialga i think i got the settings to a decent spot. i could have added a TON of extra checks but decided not to (i could have added literally every sidequest reward and shop item if i wanted to)

Running Flipwitch and Emerald. Both get locked VERY easily, so I might not have much to do when we start.

I'm currently running a practice of Flipwitch, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to finish that today, so I'll just run it. Worst case scenario, we need to release it if the game doesn't work.

As an async, I don't think it would hurt to start any time. If people get locked early, that's fine.

how does that work

so is that just not possible if you play in Japanese?

oh that's funny

I'd say the same thing to that though. That changes the tone of the script. I agree that it's a much more fun thing to have, but the localizers are still writing things that aren't there.

I think there's an argument to be made that the localizaers have changed the tone of the script, and that's not their job though.

lurkink

"och" and "bruv"

I remember having that same thing in Rocket Slime actually. Specifically that accent made me so confused.

hmmm So, essentially the localizers took it upon themselves to rewrite the dialogue (keeping the main story) but they actually did it well, so they get a pass?

I mean, I assume that's a random NPC yeah

I was about to say haha

oh that's interesting

ohhhh

dialects are such a difficult thing to deal with in regards to localization tbf

oh are they? I've never played a DQ game except the Rocket Slime spinoffs haha

Yeah if you go into a game with a niche topic, you should understand that topic or at least be willing to learn about that topic.

But I completely agree that for this game, which is specifically denpa, it SHOULD have denpa references.

Yeah that's pretty fair for this game in particular. I saw someone else make an argument for some VN, I forget which, where the characters make a lot of 2chan references and the translators changed them to 4chan references so that the same feeling woud come across without having to understand specific 2chan memes. taxe

I saw someone say something interesting regarding lozalization which is that anyone who is good at it is working professionally as a translator for important topics and politics and such, not working on small games like this, so the only ones left are ones who aren't good or have an agenda.

And it's the fault of these bad localizers that localization in general gets a bad reputation

I agree, I'm just saying that because too many people have the wrong take-away

I do get annoyed at people who see something like this and take it to the extreme of the other side and say nothing should ever be localized. I think localization is important to a degree unless you expect your audience to understand Japanese idioms are such. It's a fine line though for sure.

that's pretty egregious you're right

I don't know why I bothered putting the Japanese into a translator when I can practically just read the German there haha

I read only the wrong message

wait you guys are starting?
