Hello everyone, I would like to give you an update on my recent activities.
Lately, I've been attempting to translate this work into Japanese. Currently, I am using ChatGPT4.0 combined with my own Japanese language skills to refine the translation. The UI, proprietary terms, names of people and places, and the War Table sections have been completed. What remains are the dialogue and the plot sections.
However, it's taking longer than expected.
On one hand, I have work and personal life to manage. The main issue, though, is the sheer volume of text. At the earliest, it might be possible to complete this before this year's Winter Sale.
The Japanese version might be suspended at any time due to unforeseen circumstances, so players who are waiting might want to hold off on purchasing. Regardless, I will keep you updated on the progress.
As for the English version, there are no plans yet, mainly because I truly do not understand English. If it were to be handled, I could only entrust it all to ChatGPT. The only thing I could do is translate the proprietary terms, names of people, and places first. In any case, I will focus on completing the Japanese version first.
Regarding new works, I have roughly conceived the plot outline and gameplay. Like some systems in this work that are integrated with the storyline, the new work will also modify existing systems. However, the main body should be about seventy to eighty percent the same.
But it will be a very long time before formal work begins; currently, it is still at the idea stage.
The initial production of Elsia War began with a new SRPG storyline. However, I hit a bottleneck midway and thought of transferring plots from my other works into this one. At the same time, I realized that the time I could dedicate to creating was getting shorter, which led to the idea of simply mixing all previously unpublished works together for a summary. In short, it feels like "my own Super Robot Wars." The original intention was to conclude it in one work...
Although the new work is directly related to Elsia War, it will be developed in a way that even players who have not encountered Elsia War can quickly get involved. I will keep in mind the praises and criticisms of Elsia War, noting what was missing and suggestions for improvement. At this stage, I am dealing with the Japanese localization of Elsia War while also writing the storyline. This too might be suspended due to unforeseen circumstances.
Thank you for reading.
