Vancouver Retro Game Expo Live Panel VideoMy in-person panel from Vancouver Retro Game Expo is now up on YouTube. It goes into fan-translation as well as official translation. The Q&A section at the end also gets very interesting! I hope you give it a watch.VideoJuly 5Public 0 0 June UpdateWe're finalizing a v1.1 version of Kowloon's Gate that fixes some typo and script issues. I also have an audio recording of the live panel I did last week that I will try to match with the slides into a video at some point. Funny enough _dk (one of the translators on Kowloon's Gate) showed up unexpectedly at the panel! I didn't even know he lived around here.

We now have several people working on the direct and the games that will appear in it. These will be amazing surprises delivered in a way that we've never tried before, so I continue to appreciate your patience for them. -HilltopArticleApril 30Public 0 3 March UpdateAs you saw earlier in Match, I wrote a piece on the fan translation journey so far and how things are changing in it.
