Surging Aura translation, almost complete

[kingofcrusher]

That was me, but I've lost interest in rom hacking and moved on to coding my own games. I'm thinking of just releasing all my work and letting anyone who's interested finish it, I had progress in various games for Sega systems (Illusion City, Last Bible Special, Last Bible, Maldorian, Sorcerian, couple more I can't remember off the top of my head). At some point I might continue though, Sorcerian and Last Bible Special were two favorite projects (Last Bible S is about 75% done) so I don't know. Anything is quite a ways off though.

I got excited about the news as well.... untill I saw it was 100% in French.

I really really pray someone will translate the French version into either English or Spanish. It will probably come out in spanish first seeing as to how the Spanish rom hackers translate games off the Enlgish versions, and the English rom hackers hate translating off someone elses translation.

Either way, I would love to play this in a language I know. If not I will suffer through the french version with my limited knowledge of the language.

salamando: Did you get rep'd for that avatar yet?

[salamando]

^^ I got repped twice

But now I changed it to something more appropriate.

Will we ever get this in English?

More than likely someone will do it. It's not hard to switch up English & French when translating. It really depends on how the rom hacking is done.
I hope someone does it and tightens up the script to make it the dialog good. It'll be a killer repro cart to have kicking around.

In the meantime, theres a lets play on youtube where the player translates most of it.

If this game was gonna be translated into English it would have happened years ago. The French dudes were working with the same tools that Eidolon made ages ago - the difference is that they were actually motivated to do the work and translate all the text. There simply aren't enough people in the translation scene who are both motivated and punctual and that also give a shit about the few MD relics worth translating like Surging Aura or Rent-A-Hero or whatever.

The major difference now though, is that it's been successfully translated to use a Latin alphabet without breaking anything, and it's a hell of a lot easier to get help translating from French into English, than from Japanese.

while the people are at it

^ Yeah.

There is a discussion here about the translation, and a guy seems motivated to help out with an English translation: http://www.romhacking.net/forum/inde...,10545.30.html

That would be great!

Indeed, I would love to see someone finish Illusion City,
cause it looks like a great cyberpunk rpg.

Well, now it's in Russian.
