Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.

07.02.2026 04:05 โ ๐ 8 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Wow, thank you for the detailed explanation! It kind of makes sense now. I guess using a log not only for the ship's record but also for other stuff such as "access log" makes it extra confusing.
That said, I bet there are similar cases in Japanese too...๐
Why does log mean a piece of wood (ไธธๅคช) and also a journal (ๆฅ่ช)?
Why does magazine mean a bunch of paper (้่ช) and also a part of a gun (ๅผพๅ)?
English is weird sometimes...

26.01.2026 16:39 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0That would be difficult because the <button> tag can be used in various situations in the game.
Examples:
Press <button> to swing your weapon
Hold <button> to dodge
In Japanese, the verb (Press) has to come after the noun (button). So if Press and a button tag were translated separately and displayed in the same order as English, it would look very unnatural. Equivalent to "(A) Press" in English.
22.01.2026 10:56 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Dear developers, if you're thinking of localizing your game into Japanese, please try not to separate "Press" and a button tag into different strings, but create a single string such as "Press <button>". It makes our lives a lot easier.
22.01.2026 10:55 โ ๐ 51 ๐ 9 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0Thanks for the tip! I always wanted to try Shiren game but your posts also pushed me to do so for sure๐
22.01.2026 00:34 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Not something "I can play this all day" type of thing, but "Nice to play one or two runs a day" type of thing. At least so far!
Maybe my impression will change once I learn more about the game mechanics.
Played Shiren 5 for 3 days, and my first thought:
The game is fun. But not as addictive as I expected (at least so far). My biggest gripe is that your inventory is almost always full and you constantly need to organize it. So I'm having a lot of Preservation pots... is that a common way of playing?
