her 2x equipment effect passive apparently applies *after* the (fairly harsh) lunatic cap on max stat bonuses from a given piece of equipment which makes it pretty busted

Oh hey, Iโ€™m the editor on this project! Iโ€™m a huge fan of the series as well, and itโ€™s always such a treat working from koestlโ€™s superb translation. Iโ€™m currently working hard to make sure itโ€™s as polished as it deserves to be ๐Ÿซก

I translated Inganock for Kagami Games. This is an all-new English TL for an HD release of the game.

I'm a fan of Sakurai's Steampunk games in general, but I think many people would call this one the "classic" in the series. Grateful I got the chance to work on it!

Kinda hard to understand the aggressive defenses of itch as anything other than reflexive brand loyalty. Their reaction here was objectively more broadly disruptive & panicked than any other game storefront that was hit by these threats

is "fellow sage" what they went with for ๅŒๆœŸๆฎฟ? not only is that brutally clunky it's basically the only thing he ever calls her, including in contexts where there are 5 other "sages" in the room, so good luck with that

The one great way to do this is "ask an untranslated-eroge themed discord server full of mildly to moderately deranged obsessives"

Why context matters when translating:
ๅ‰ can mean forward, or it can describe something happening beforehand.
ๅพŒ can mean back, or it can describe something happening afterward.

The remaster TL guessed wrong without knowing the usage context of the words. (The original TL had it right)

I had a list of mechanical complaints in mind when I was playing but the storytelling and Vibes won me over completely. If you like artsier sci-fi movies it is a very strong recommend

Lucky translator. Back in 2015 a ใ‚€ใฃใก/็„ก็Ÿฅ joke might've required the most shameful of compromises (pun that only makes sense to British people)
