Rewrite’s done.
Edit: The free image server I was using because I’m lazy seems to have been replaced and keeps serving stupid giant ads instead of the original images. Sorry about that.

From Energy Breaker. Five screenshots. (updated)
I’ve been away on a little holiday and have been doing some official (!) translation work, so I don’t have much progress to report at the moment. In the meantime, here is a mostly random selection of screenshots. Continue reading ‘Platter of selected screenshots for screenshot gourmands’
Produced on the latest WIP version of the translation. Not representative of final release.
I’ve made a lot of progress in translating Eien no Filena recently, thanks to the great reception of the thread I started about it on the Something Awful forums. I’d estimate I’m probably about halfway through the script now.
I’ll release another patch after Christmas with the cumulative progress up until then.
Energy Breaker is well into beta testing at the moment. Disnesquick and I have gotten a lot of good feedback from the testers, so we’ve been able to make a lot of progress in polishing the translation for release. I never realised I make so many horrid typos. See below for a before and after of one of my “corrections” based on beta tester input.

Just dropping by quickly to tell you all that a new soundtrack album for Energy Breaker is due to be released on the 22nd of this month. Apparently it will feature all tracks looped twice, with everything newly recorded and remastered from original hardware, as well as some special arranged tracks.
If you’re interested, the amazon.jp page for it can be found here.
Good news: I’ve nearly completely finished the first pass through the dialogue script for Energy Breaker. I’ve played through the game from start to finish, and corrected and edited all of the dialogue I came across. I just need to chase up a little bit of optional subquest stuff, as well as follow up on some stuff that is currently inaccessible due to unavoidable crashes. There’s still a lot of editing to go now, but at least some polish can be applied to the script now that it’s all accurate and makes sense. Between the hacking work that needs to be done and editing the script, we’ve still got a ways to go yet.
Bad news: The 10th anniversary of Energy Breaker’s release is on the 26th of this month and I can’t think of a good way to celebrate it. 
This is slightly old news, but it looks like the latest ZSNES WIP (05/27 WIP at the time of writing) correctly displays the map screen in Energy Breaker. Hurrah!
I got out of university a couple of weeks ago, and just recently I’ve had a bit of time to work on the Energy Breaker script again.
So far, I’m about 11 or so hours into the game. I think we’re over the hump.
Make that about 15 hours in and not too far off from the end, short of a last-minute fetch quest and endgame sidequests. Not too far off from completing the first major revision of the script…
