iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I have gone insane over the past month when it comes to building a tool that patches japanese games into manually-corrected machine-translated english with extra features and a UI to play them in (UI is putting it lightly) (work in progress)

Mars Special, developed by 3.5-Inch-Dō and published by LL Palace, has now been translated into English with a bugfix! (Also, it's my birthday today!) It's a UFO Catcher game for the PC-9801. It has an adult CG gallery so it's for subscribers-only. tangopunk.com

Hareraiser: Prelude and Hareraiser: Finale. WIP of remapping it. I mapped it all years ago in Trizbort but I'm trying to get all my research back into one place again.

TangoBunny @tangopunk.com · 04/08/2026

Every year, there comes a point where I desperately try new ideas for Hareraiser Prelude and Hareraiser Finale. Now I'm ending up trying to force a list of 80 words into poetic structure and overthinking how (Ken) Thomas's brother might represent Dugald Thompson.

I've been dabbling with creating maps for the first Sailor Moon game released on the Game Boy. I've only done Stage 1 so far, but I'm pretty happy with it! In-game the view is zoomed in so you barely see any of the road, and it was harder to stitch together than I expected.

I was about to question the use of straight lines on artwork for a succubus, but at least it drew my attention enough to the card art to notice the Culdcept Begins language is a simple alphabet cipher!

I love school settings in games. They always feel fun and scenic, which is exactly what real schools aren’t.

The backgrounds look great in Culdcept Begins. The characters and monsters… well, I’ll get used to them, but they feel more like flat pictures than actual characters.

TangoBunny @tangopunk.com · 16/07/2026

It’s Culdcept Begins Day! It seems I was supposed to get some kind of early purchase code, but either they forgot to send the email, or it’s not on the UK eShop yet.

Interactive Fiction parody from ‘How to be a Complete Bastard’ by Adrian Edmondson, which received its own computer game. I thought it would be timely with England and Argentina at the World Cup semifinals.

Game gossip from the 90s can proliferate through the internet to this very day. All talk I could find online for Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels said "Don't get the PlayStation version. Get the Saturn version." If I'd have believed them, I wouldn't enjoy video game.

TangoBunny @tangopunk.com · 11/07/2026

When it comes to Space Hulk for DOS, I was more entertained by the vocal song sample while the game starts up. I never knew Warhammer used to have its own music label and Brian May performing on guitar! www.youtube.com/watc...

000

TangoBunny @tangopunk.com · 11/07/2026

The first Space Hulk computer game for DOS advertised a brand new story-driven campaign called Deathwing. (It's not that story-driven at all, it's just a bunch of different map layouts, and they added some story text for each one in the manual rather than the game.)

TangoBunny @tangopunk.com · 10/07/2026

Games might not come with manuals any more, but my hobby zine covers the basics in a much more straightforward way than pages of plain text!

TangoBunny @tangopunk.com · 10/07/2026

Similar to how I forget that some people are new to emulation, sometimes I forget people have been tricked into thinking that cheating in a single player game is always bad. I love it. It lets me have fun in games I wouldn't otherwise enjoy.

TangoBunny @tangopunk.com · 10/07/2026

Sometimes I forget that people are new to emulation, so I tried to keep it straightforward while still covering complexities! (In fact, I'm so forgetful that I end up using my own guides to remind myself of hotkeys.)

Finally unsubscribed from Photoshop! The only reason I had it was because it let me create a script to add context-aware bleed areas to folders of images for zine work. They still charged me another £45 for an 'early cancellation fee.' I'll never go back.

I don't think people understand how much I enjoy AI vs AI matches in games, and modern-day AI lets me play with that concept even more. Last weekend I spent my free time playing out a full gender-swapped double elimination bracket for Fatal Fury 1 on the Mega Drive.
