Nekomura Games has just released the game ButaVX: Justice Fighter, a cute RPG for the PC. It's the journey of a heroic young pig as he quests for the legendary sword that will give him the power to rescue his missing soccer ball. The game is super cute and imaginative, and the best part is it's completely free. And free is good. If you're looking for a way to entertain yourself for a little bit, check it out. I was the editor and one of the play testers on this thing. ^-^

P.S.
I'm going to make all my finished product announcements public from now on, but you'll still have to friend me if you want to see my random other posts about work and work related experiences.

Another game I edited is out! Yaaay!

This one is called The Stolen Diamond Ring and it's essentially what it sounds like. It's a mystery game in which a diamond ring is stolen. I must admit, I am much prouder of this one that Bionic Heart. Not that I didn't have fun with Bionic Heart, but since I only edited portions of it, it's a little embarrassing, because the rest of the game could definitely use...help...

But I edited this darling in its entirety! So all grammar and spelling errors are completely my fault! Well, most of them, at least. No royalties for me if you buy it (sadness), but if you post in the forums that you think it's great how perfect the grammar and spelling are, maybe I'll get another job. XD

The game is $10, but the first 20 people to buy it get 50% off with this code: BLRD0006N
The game is now $6. That is a very affordable price. ^-^

So, one of the games that I did work on was released today. Yaaaay~

It's a small indie game called Bionic Heart. I worked on localization of the endings. The original writer doesn't speak English as a first language, so I edited a portion of the script to be more fluid. Sadly, my edits don't actually show up until the end of the game, so the demo won't really show you what I'm up to. orz

Oh well! At least I can actually prove that I've done work on a real game now. I'm doing another one for the same company, but this time I'm writing it based on an outline instead of editing what's already been written. I'm very fond of it. ^-^

So a little over a year ago (back when I was still in Pittsburgh) I did work for a text-to-speech company called Cepstral. You can read my previous entries here. It was fun, I got paid, and I forgot about it. I was told that it takes a long time for the engineers to actually piece together a voice, so I just kinda let it slide off.

Last night, I found out that it's complete. You can hear it here on their VoiceForge website along with like a bajillion other voices. It's the one called "Shy Girl" and you get bonus points if you can guess who I based the voice off of (hint: look at my layout). I've spent most of the morning trying to get her to say "Tomoya-kun, konnichiwa. Nandeyanen!" with a certain amount of success.

Now if only I could make her sing, I'd be on the road to Vocaloid-dom.

Friends only, but I'll add pretty much anyone. I like friends. XD Comment to be added, and please tell me how we know each other.
