Shining Force Feather Translation Project needs translators!

Posted on by Moogie

Those of you who have played Shining Force Feather will know that it is the closest we’ve had to a ‘proper’ Shining Force game in long time. Unfortunately many of you will not have played it because it was only released in Japan.

Never fear, help is at hand!

SFCer & GBAtemp member StorMyu has been working on the ROM in order to be able to extract and insert text and has been making excellent progress. The Japanese script has been extracted and is ready for translation. Omega Entity from SFC has kindly offered to help with the translation, but there’s a lot of work to do and it would be fantastic to have more translators on board.

So, if your Japanese skills are up to it and you have a bit of free time, why not lend a hand to the project? Or maybe you know someone that would be able and willing to help? Let us know!

You can find out more from StorMyu’s post at GBATemp or post in his topic here at SFC in the SF: Feather forum. If we get a team of translators together, I will of course set up a dedicated forum for the project to aid with communication and organisation between the translators.

I for one can’t wait to replay Shining Force Feather – in English!

My goodness how quickly the years go by!

Yes folks, it’s that time of year again – the Annual Beg. Though I may not be as active at SFC in recent years I’m sure you all know I do still work hard on this place 🙂 Last year I launched the new SFC site design and in the last few days many of you have been playing with the SFC Forum RPG which I’ve been developing over the last 4 years, though the majority of the work on it was completed in the last 5 months.

Once again it’s a little short notice, I got so caught up in the RPG development that I lost track of time. Plus, I managed to win a free month’s hosting which I thought would be tacked onto the end of my current year of hosting… but I was wrong, it comes in the form of a discount on my next invoice.

I also had a little contribution through from a member earlier in the year which I have done my best to squirrel away and therefore this year’s Beg Target is lower than usual – woohoo! This year we’re looking to raise US$300.

If you’ve got some spare PayPal funds and would like to help contribute towards keeping SFC online for another year, you can do so by clicking on the picture below. Thanks for your ongoing support!

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the 2012 Annual Beg – we reached the target so quickly I can hardly believe it! The invoice is paid and SFC shall live on for another year!
