Quick Intro
Hello everyone,
I'm Made in DNA. I was invited to check out the forums by another user here, so I thought I would.
I discovered SNATCHER serveral months back my mistake on YouTube.com, so I picked up an original PS copy off of Yahoo Auctions Japan and I have been enjoying it ever since. I'm a slow player (and add to that, the fact that I am married), so I really haven't gotten that far. It's a great game though. I'm really impressed by the storyline and gritty, edgey, and sometimes humorous writing.
By trade I am a writer and translator. I have a degree in Japanese from CalState Long Beach, and have worked with and at such companies as RAIJIN COMICS, J-LIST and JAST USA to localize games, comics, manuals and the like.
If anyone needs help with translation (big or small jobs), please feel free. Or if you just would like to know what something means, I will be more than happy to give you the meaning for something in Japanese. Any way that I can be of service, I am more than happy to.
To finish, I currently reside in Japan with my wife and her family. I enjoy reading and writing fiction and comics (mostly cyberpunk, alternate universe storylines), and am currently working on producing an anthology and a PSP-native comic by the beginning of next year.
Have a great day!

I'm sure that the people behind the Policenauts translation would be happy to hear that.Made in DNA wrote: ...By trade I am a writer and translator... If anyone needs help with translation (big or small jobs)...
Welcome to the forums, though. If you enjoy Snatcher, you'll have no problems fitting in here. It's great to have such a diverse userbase, too.

Hey Brent, good to see you around here, welcome to our humble boards.
It would be great if you "copy-pasted" your yahoo groups snatcher questions to the Snatcher forum here, I am sure that'd generate more discussion over here than at the groups. Most of the active people in the group is here too anyway, but I believe we check more here than there.
Have a great time =)

From the mathematical perspective, consciousness might be regarded as a second derivative of sensation.

Re: Quick Intro
Hey, buddy, you want to translate something? How about Famicom Detective Club 1 and/or 3? I played 2- and got hooked! I'd love to play the other two.Made in DNA wrote:If anyone needs help with translation (big or small jobs), please feel free.

Yeah, I'll consider it. Honestly, they weren't burning questions I had to have answered, it was just something I was interested in personally. ;)
See you around.

First let me ask you this: are you on a schedule, and do you have a text dump of it?8bitsonic wrote:Hey, buddy, you want to translate something? How about Famicom Detective Club 1 and/or 3?

Well, if you are not a schedule, that's good, because I would do it in my spare time between my writing stints. =) No text dump would be rough though. I don't relish sitting in front of a game, playing it, trying to tree and translate as I play...

Well, I was going to say before that you might not get one. Most hackers and translators are tired of people writing to them to ask them to translate games, even when asked politely. I know you aren't one of those people who shouts and screams in your emails telling them what they should do, but a lot of other people do that, especially the Pokemon and Dragonball crowd, who are always pestering them to work on the unreleased games for those series. I happen to know that the guy who translated it, Tomato, has a professional job with Funimation, so maybe he just doesn't have time. The hacker, Demi Force, doesn't appear to have any plans to work on it, either. Who knows, maybe the other games really suck?
You could also try going here and posting a request in the Translation Requests thread.

You can find the thread here: http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.p ... 726.0.html
By the way, the third game in the series was only released for the Super Famicom Satellaview service in Japan, so I'm not sure if it's possible to play it anymore.
