| This looks absolutely fantastic... I'm really looking forward to a demo or preview release! Keep up the good work.
I have to say, though, I'm glad you're leaning towards difficulty here; it's nice to see some creative challenges in new hacks. |

| I don't know how much demand there is for this, but I see translation threads every now and then. I'd be willing to team up with someone to make a translation patch, though there would be a few caveats, enumerated below.
1. I can't do ASM at all -- so if you want to team up, I hope you can handle everything and are okay with me just translating. 2. I'd prefer to translate a game I'd be interested in playing at some point. I'm interested in RPGs, platformers, and shoot 'em ups. 3. I'm not going to be able to translate everything in a night... it'll take some time. Other than that, I'm pretty much open for ideas/suggestions/offers, if there's any need. Sorry if this thread doesn't exactly belong here. Edit: If you want to get ahold of me in a less-public method, I wouldn't suggest PM, since I don't actually log in/check PMs that often. The best ways to get ahold of me would be via AIM (same as this username), and also e-mail (again, same username, but @gmail.com). (edited by srothroc on 01-05-07 04:57 PM) |

Originally posted by Alice I'd have to say no. It's easier for me to translate to English than the other way around; I'd probably end up saying some things a bit oddly. |

Originally posted by Heian-794 RadioShadow contacted me about this -- I wasn't sure about it, since I hadn't heard from you and you were the translator. If one of you e-mails me the raw text, I can translate the machine/pilot profiles. If there are any special requirements, please let me know in the e-mail.

Originally posted by Koitenshin +∞ I think he's talking about the top plant... I don't see how moving it to another layer would keep it from looking like it's coming out of nowhere. The bottom one is obviously coming out of the pipe, but the top one is just there. |

| The term you're looking for here is 'romaji'. It's not really Japanese to English since it's not like Japanese is simply a cipher for English words. You can find charts of the Japanese syllabaries that show how to write the sounds in roman characters, i.e., the alphabet we use.
Katakana chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana Hiragana chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana I've gone ahead and linked you to the wikipedia entries for hiragana and katakana, since they've got tables that are a big more complete than most charts, which rely on you learning a little about the language. One thing to keep in mind that I'm not sure is mentioned in the articles; if there is a little 'tsu', the following syllable's initial consonant is doubled in romanization. Thusly, ちょっと is rendered as chotto and まって is rendered as matte. I have to say, though, if you can't read Japanese, how are you going to translate a game? It's not as simple (and perhaps insulting?) to think that it would be possible to translate well with just a dictionary and romanization. Or, if you're doing it for someone else to translate, it's usually easier for them to translate in the original Japanese than it is in romanization. Just my two cents. Good luck. |

| This is looking good so far -- I think you've done a great job in keeping the classic Castlevania feel with the new sprites. This is actually quite timely, since I just read a full retrospective on Castlevania the other day.
Where will this sit in terms of the Castlevania storyline -- do you have any ideas in that respect? |

| I don't see why a collection of USELESS and UNIMPORTANT bugs would necessitate a new release when the author has explicitly state his continuing disinterest. Now, if there were some critical bugs, that might be more persuasive.
As for him releasing his source... if he doesn't want to, then he doesn't have to. He's not obligated to do it -- as far as I know, you guys didn't pay him for his time/efforts or anything like that, so the program's wholly distributed at his whim. If he decided to take the download off his site tomorrow, there's nothing that says, morally or commercially, he should bring it back because people want it. It seems like SMW has been around long enough for offsets to be found and documented; why not have someone else start a new SMW editor that takes into account the abilities of the other great tools available out there, rather than harping about a long-gone programmer not updating? Something more pro-active... |

| I always figured that the P in P-Switch was an abbreviation for POW... probably because the POW block was another neat thing in a Mario game (SMB2), even if it wasn't /really/ a Mario game... | |||

| Challenges and puzzles. If there are any little-used abilities, try to make levels that exploit those abilities -- themed levels, so to speak. Make people think and figure out how to do things, rather than making it runnable. If you're making a horizontal level, make sections that must be traversed vertically, and vice versa.
Secret things for people who think a little harder are nice, too. |

| I really enjoyed the intro 'level' -- it was an interesting change, though I have to admit I stood around for a few seconds, wondering where the message was.
I found a slight graphics glitch -- in Hill Top Crossing, the sumo fire interferes with the caped koopas. I can't tell if it's glitching into capes, or if the capes are simply being obscured because there are too many sprites on the screen... |

| Just making sure. I was actually wondering what happened to the F-Zero stuff... |
