Being a Translator/Audio Engineer (I translated random Episodes of the Kindaichi Anime) I understand what goes into any project. 100% of the time we don't get paid to do these projects. We have real life jobs that conflict with the time we plan to spend on any project. And on top of that we have kids, pets, wifes and social gatherings we have to attend even more so with Christmas a day a way.

I'm sure with anyone who has a normal life and doesn't translate or code video games (FOR FUN) gets overwhelmed all the time. Now imagine dealing with life and all the horrible things it throws at you and in any spare time you get you spend it coding/translating (which anyone will tell you that every project is like climbing a mountain s l o w l y ). And after all that stress of dealing with life and family and deadlines and glitches you have to deal with people/fans who don't understand what we actually give up to do these projects.

It has a way of eating the passion out of a person, so please before you ask for a update or demo or anything, take a second and think is it really a big deal if you get to play the game today or if you have to wait another month? The game is going to get done and it's going to be awesome so who cares if there is delays or no news.


and for a side note
I have nothing to do with this project. I'm just a fan of both Conan and Kindaichi and I thought I'd give my two cents.

Also I'm pumped for the game, take all the time you guys need and enjoy the holidays!

Merry Christmas everyone.

As for the game, I'll wait as long as it takes. Personally I'm glad you're all putting so much effort and time into this translation project to make sure it's done correctly. I think this game will be awesome when it is released. Thanks for all your hard work.

We are currently deep into playtesting the game, with the first half of the game playtested and looking very nice. Unfortunately, due to losing some time due to holiday schedules over the past month, we're not going to be able to get the game out by year's end at this point. I assure everyone we will continue to work on the game as much as possible and through scheduling issues with holiday travel and vacations from key staffers involved.

It looks like we'll have a nice chunk of time available very soon as a team, so if you guys don't mind hanging in there a little longer, I promise we'll continue to do our best whether we have time on our side or not.

We also appreciate everyone's support and understanding greatly. This is one of those projects that always demands just that extra bit from you to conquer each step in the process. We'll keep at it until it's done, rest assured. We'll share some more detailed updates as soon as possible; you won't have to wait long for it. Hang in there!

Whee!!! Looking forward to it! Take all the time you need, it just increases the Hype levels!


Hopefully I'll have the money to acquire what's needed to play by the time it's available.... ~_~*
I have finally started to actually publish my story! For the moment, expect a new chapter each month.

The Case of the Midnight Channel
"When a strange letter summons the Mouri family to Inaba, Ran is expecting a case. She's not expecting it to involve the TV, though.
If Naoto investigated everyone who came to visit Inaba, she'd have little time for real cases. When Yukiko reports that the Midnight Channel is back, however, she starts to wonder if the visitors are connected. Especially when the image clears, unveiling yet another mystery."

Short version: I'm taking various DC/MK characters to Inaba (where Persona 4 takes place) and dropping them through the TV to face their Shadows!

Looking forward to it, thank you!

Out of curiousity, are you considering translating any other Conan games? I've only seen one translated Conan game, not counting that Wii Europe-only release, and was hoping to see more.

Is DS editing terribly difficult...? Are the tools that were used for this game appliable to other DS Conan games?

@Digitsie: Jd- and the team have already said this is the ONLY game they will ever translate. It takes a lot of job and team effort, after all.

This is, without question, the hardest project I've ever been involved with. It's a very difficult endeavor to completely translate a game (not to mention an extremely time-consuming one). As a result, I'm afraid we won't be translating any other Conan games, but we hope this will be one that fans from all over will play and enjoy for a long time to come.

As promised, that little gift will be available within the next day for certain. It's definitely not something anyone would expect--definitely not.
