Moonlight Walks - Japanese Version

#1 Post by PyTom » Sun Apr 01, 2007 12:00 am

I'm pleased to announce that production has commenced on the Japanese version of Moonlight Walks. This is the same story that has been around for a while now... just translated into Japanese for a new audience.

I'd like to thank the folks at CuriousFactory for suggesting this, and agreeing to collaborate with me on this project.

I've attached a screenshot below.

Will it be for the Blade Engine? (just kidding)

...oh wait...

seriously? :shock:

Because if it's for Ren'Py... my gosh that is so open-minded of the Curious Factory folks to suggest that.

Oh, I know I know! Ren'Py will be promoted as the kickass visual novel engine to the Japanese! Yeah :D

EDIT: Did my thread have anything to do with it? (When it was titled Collaboration with Curious Factory...)

And I have already found search engine listings trying to torrent it. Man, those Japanese! What won't they steal?




(In a non-april-fools way, I *have* actually found a warez site claiming to offer a download of Cute Knight Deluxe. Naturally, it's a paid membership warez site, so I can't find out what exactly they're attempting to pass off as a game that HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET!)

There's the kanji for "onna" yeah, but the whole reading is "shoujo" ^^

And if you're interested in the whole reading: "Watashi wa, umi ni sou you ni aruite ita."

Well, after last year's april fools joke, people were only right to be suspicious. I guess because of this, I was only able to fool a few people this year.

So to Papillon and Mugenjohncel, I say: April Fools!

Well, April Fools had ended, in UTC. And I think I wanted to reveal the meta-joke on April Fool's day.

Yes, the thread about CuriousFactory had something to do with it. I'll elaborate when I get some more free time.

....Thank goodness I didn't get the April Fool this year (it was holiday and I spent my time with my family, so none of my friends could fool me).
