Less than 12,000 lines to go in Yuuyami.

Patch 1.3 of DBZ: Gokuu Hishouden is now available. It translates the tournament victory graphic, fixes some text issues and corrects a screen clearing issue. Thanks to LoneGamer88 for bringing my attention to many of these issues. www.romhacking.net/translations...

Just got done with a whopper of a Yuuyami text file: 400 lines. I enjoyed translating this section as it had some great 90s references like the Game Boy Color and the Universal Century from the Gundam series.

Just got done translating some more Yuuyami and this game deals with some heavy themes such as bullying and losing the will to live and the ghosts haunting places. AND THE SWIMMING POOL MAY BE FILLED WITH PEOPLE'S DIRT AND GRIME. 😱

Dragon Ball Z: Goku Hishouden Patch 1.2 available now. It corrects a few line break issues people have pointed out to me as well as a word that was hardcoded into the game and not found by my text extraction script. www.romhacking.net/translations...

Suzuki Bakuhatsu Patch 1.2 out now. This updates 4 text entries that were "correct" according to the game's text structure, but corrupted RAM because they were actually one line too long. They worked when testing the previous patch, so I missed the real issue. www.romhacking.net/translations...

Got several more text files done in Yuuyami. This game has some really great character dynamics: school rivalries, cliques, the trails and tribulations of being a kid in an environment where life can feel so heavy. Capturing each character's emotions just right is a really fun exercise.

As you know, I had been working on a Goku Gekitouden translation. I was making good progress. But recently a MTL patch was released by someone else. Sadly the translation is pretty poor. I'll keep working on my patch for now, but if their translation is fixed, I'll likely drop my version.

Suzuki Bakuhatsu Patch 1.1 is now available. It fixes two buffer overload errors, a few translations and missed grammar mistakes, as well as greatly improves subtitle coverage and readability. www.romhacking.net/translations...

Suzuki Bakuhatsu re-subtitling underway. Haven't used Aegisub in years, so gotta get used to it again.

kazetrigger @kazetrigger.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Update: I initially said that I would have a Suzuki Bakuhatsu fix patch out in the next day or so, but I've decided to re-subtitle the FMVs. The initial result was hard to read due to the software I was using. I'm going to change my workflow and redo them. They'll be easier to read in patch 1.1.

kazetrigger @kazetrigger.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

To all who were concerned about the AI pics: My apologies. In regards to my speed of release, please note that I am currently unemployed and have been filling my days (6h+/day) working on these projects while sending out resumes. Though I make mistakes, I work hard to provide quality translations.

kazetrigger @kazetrigger.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

A fix patch for Suzuki Bakuhatsu will be coming in a day or two. It will correct a text buffer overload error that caused the game to crash in just two places. It will also fix one untranslated line that I missed. I will also add additional subtitles in a few FMVs. Stay tuned.

May be gone for a couple of days as I'm migrating my environment from Windows to Linux. Also, a few people have raised concerns that the Yuuyami translation may use AI. I just want to reiterate that the translation is being done by two human translators. There will also be several QA passes.

Never had an XBox360. Now I'm looking forward to checking this out.

Yuuyami Doori Tankentai has 44 rumors to complete. Each one features a distinct urban legend or spooky scenario for our intrepid group of students to investigate. Has anyone finished some of them or have a favorite one they're looking forward to seeing fully translated?

Oops... Back to the drawing board perhaps?

Thanks to Kanzenshuu for the interview! I'm glad DBZ fans can now enjoy the game in English.

Dragon Ball Z: Goku Gekitouden is a bit trickier than Hishouden. The ROM is tightly packed and uses a lot more compression. But I was able to get the opening narration figured out. Now for the rest of the game. No idea when this will be done. Just wanted to show off my minimal progress.

kazetrigger @kazetrigger.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I've joined with another translation group who've been working on Yuuyami quietly for a while. The merging of our work has really sped things up. Many graphics have been extracted, and a first translation draft has reached approx. 41% completion. Lots more work to do, but very promising progress.

kazetrigger @kazetrigger.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Two of my translations are featured. If you haven't played PIxygarden or Dragon Ball Z: Goku Hishouden, now is a good time to check them out!

Fun fact! Yuuyami Doori Tankentai has (at least) 1967 lines just talking about the heat in summer, including lines about how hot it is, how rough it is to do stuff when it's hot, how hard the heat can be on dogs, and how much the characters want to go to the beach to escape the heat.

@punchystream.bsky.social 's video was also so insightful. My thanks to Punchy. Without Youtubers like Dungeon Chill and Punchy and Tangomushii and others, so many unique horror games would just fade into the aether.

First attempt at the title screen logo. Thoughts? How's the font choice?

Thanks to @reticenty2k.bsky.social and @seanseanson.bsky.social for spreading the word. Pixygarden was a tricky but fun game to work on. I hope people are enjoying it.

A Yuuyami Doori Tankentai English fan-translation patch is underway. This project will involve a brand new, human (non-AI) translation with an eye for capturing the way that students would naturally speak in the '90s. @dungeonchill.bsky.social Thanks for bringing this game to my attention!
