The old Parodius site listed information about the Lennus 2 translation- I believe it was translated but not made into a working patch.
Now, however, there is no trace of Lennus 2 on the site. Does anyone know what's up? Is it still around, anyone working on it?
I'm about to finish the game in Japanese, but it should really have an English patch cause it's an awesome game.
Thanks.

Cool, thanks. Sounds like there are some serious technical problems preventing the implementation of a nearly translated script. I'm a newbie, but it seems like it couldn't be that hard to finish the script at least.... I just wanna see the english patch released  Is there any hope for this project? |

Did you read those linked posts in their entirety? It's pretty much stated reasons why someone hasn't come along picked up the work and finished it. It may seem like it 'couldn't be that hard', but it's just not as simple as you think. There's not a lot of hope for this project in the immediate future, but I think someone will eventually finish it. All things are possible. |

I don't even know how the game plays or if it's fun, but this is still one of the ones that I was really looking forward to. After DQ3r, this, Mother 3, and Mystic Ark will make my translation world complete.

That's awesome!
It's strange to be excited about the translation scene again. Ever since you put up those screenshots of DQ3r, I've been coming back daily. It feels like 1999 all over again.

Pffft! You want excitement in the translation scene, go back to 1997! That's where the real excitement was.  Those were the days! I suppose 1999 was probably more productive as the community shifted from giant groups to independent people using better tools that were generally more efficient than the groups of old. |

That's what I meant... that's when all the good things started happening. Well, not all, but we started to see some real progress. |

Aren't you still in your twenties there, young chap? You're not old until you get in your thirties.  But anyway, 1999 is when it was happenin'. That's when I came along and got blamed for running off "TheGun". I wish someone would explain THAT to me. :banghead: |

C'mon you old farts. You're not dead yet. If you want Wonder Kitchen done. If Tomato volunteers to translate, go get started already. It can be on schedule for a 2010 release even with your limited schedules.  |

I tried to quit. You never really do. It's just sometimes the timing is not right. Just think about it though. If you didn't have to worry about money and were financially independent...You could find a few hours to hack. All I'm saying is that most people don't lose the urge to translate games. They just lose the time.

You're preaching to the wrong man. I know that as well as anybody. I live it. But there's no reason you can't do it when you get some time. It's going to take some time. It could take a LONG time, but that's a poor excuse. I'm a living example. It takes forever for me to get any projects complete. Several years per project it seems. But eventually, they get completed. There's absolutely no good reason you can't continue on if you want to. People just like to make excuses like they have no time when really, they just don't want to do the work anymore, it isn't fun, or they found something more enjoyable to do. People come up with all sorts of excuses. I don't know why it's so hard for somebody to just come and say they don't want to hack anymore because it's not fun and/or they just don't want to anymore. Instead, they blame their wives, children, job, time, money, etc... You can work around all those things in due time if you want to. Whether it's 30 minutes a day, one hour a week, an hour every two weeks, whatever the case, you can manage if you want to. It just takes longer to reach the end. |
