I have just upgraded the site's backend. Please comment in this news post if you notice any problems (cosmetic or otherwise).

Please include: Browser name and version, URL (if applicable) and time (including GMT).

Also note that IE-related rendering issues will be ignored. Either get a better browser or wait till IE8.

EDIT: The Array problem should be fixed for all themes (but may be cached, so it might take longer to be fixed) as well as the Home link being above the others (may be cached also).

Also, downloads for Fate/stay Night v2.0 have also been fixed (US mirrors went poof).

For those who still don't get it, this was an April Fools. Or is it? :)

With Utawarerumono and Fate/stay night English finally out of the door, we have spent the past few weeks reevaluating the titles still lying on our project plate. While work on the more high-profile games (most notably the TYPE-MOON ones) has shown more or less continuous progress over the past three years, we had to admit that several projects are just not working out for us.

As of late, most of the long-term staff members have been too busy to work on their old translation projects, and we have not been able to find anyone motivated enough to take over. The fact of the matter is, most of the open titles still require a lot of work.
We had a large staff meeting yesterday (the largest in Revolve and mirror moon history, in fact!), and we cast a vote on each single project that is still collecting dust in our portfolio. People in favour of keeping the project alive, had to agree to start/continue working on that project at least two days a week, starting next month (or know someone who would *certainly* want to do it). Everyone who could not make that pledge would have to vote for closing.

The result was painfully unanimous... Arcturus, Farland Symphony, Men at Work! 2, Vagrants and Brass Restoration are now all on hold indefinitely. Instead of these projects, we will focus on what has always shown to work the best for us: TYPE-MOON game translation. We're not sure why, but other than Utawarerumono (which, if you'll remember, was first started by Soylations), TYPE-MOON games are the only projects that have really made us work HARD.

Therefore, especially in light of the disappointment that the cancellation of the above projects will undoubtedly bring, we are very happy to report a new TYPE-MOON translation project! People have been begging us for this for as long as I can remember, and while we weren't too fond of taking another huge project on our hands up until now, we have finally decided to translate TYPE-MOON's most anticipated work: Tsukihime 2! With the combined abilities of our entire staff, we are planning on finishing this project in EXACTLY one year. Yes, you can quote us on that. Count the days, people. One way or another, we're going to make this work.

Please visit the project page for more information about Tsukihime 2.

Due to spam, I am going to delete all the users that have not logged in. If you have an account and haven't logged in, make sure you log in within the next 24 hours.

Also, the site will be going down for upgrades. So don't freak if nothing shows up.

Thanks.

Giant Robots. One-on-one beam saber action. Macross Missile Massacre (tm). The only thing that would make this game better would be online multi-player capability. Oh yeah, it has that too.

This free Gundam clone offers surprisingly addicting gameplay and lets you indulge that fantasy you've always had ever since you saw your first Gundam anime. 3-D arenas pitting teams of mecha against each other makes the gameplay just like the Gundam Arcade game in Japan, which is similar to Armored Core and Virtual On, but you don't have to blow 100 yen each time you want to play.

Produced by Y. Kamada (YSK), who has given us his approval to make this installer, this game has the following ways of giving you your Gundam-piloting fix:

• Survival Mode: Fight until you drop.
• Practice Mode: Go ahead, bully the defenseless computer!
• Team Battle Mode: Ever wonder what it was like to pit one army of mecha against another?
• Blitz Tactics Mode: One army versus another, but with giant warships too.
• Online Competition Mode: Because destroying your friends is always more satisfying.
• Custom Pilot Creation: We all love the default cat pilots, but the game also includes the option of using your own avatar pic and different voiced effects, even your own! Don't worry, the cats aren't offended. Base Installer includes custom Ryuusoul pilot (my ego knows no bounds).

Watch gameplay movie here!

Notes:

You will need .NET Framework 2.0, DirectX 9 and run it in Windows 2000 Compatibility Mode to get the pre-game configuration screen.

Windom Forums

To simplify the process, we have started with version 1.020 and created a stand alone installer with YSK's permission. In other words, all you need to download is this installer and it will install a full English version. We will release update patches incrementally as YSK provides updates for his original Japanese version. He does this quite frequently and we will do our best to keep up with his rolling patches.

Check the original site out here

The below files are not necessary to install the English version, but are provided as a courtesy to YSK (and for those with a burning desire to play in Japanese).

Note: For the confused, "Bootfighter Windom XP SP-2" is the title... not the OS you need to play...

I don't know why this didn't occur to me earlier, but I wanted to mention this in case some of you don't visit the forums.

krfsm on the mirror moon forums has announced the creation of a patch which allows the importing of voices from the PS2 version.

While I haven't had a chance to enjoy the patch yet (my game probably arrives next week), I can imagine it must be great!

Much thanks to krfsm for his contribution to the fan community!

mirror moon is happy to finally announce the release of Fate/stay night English v2.0, which translates the Unlimited Blade Works route. This patch also includes the ability to add voices into both the Fate and UBW routes, provided you have a copy of Realta Nua (PS2), and can be also be played on a non-Japanese locale so that AppLocale is no longer required.

Same as our other releases, there is to be no discussion of obtaining the game via illegal means. In fact, there should never be discussion of obtaining the game via illegal means. If you want to see more of these games, support them by purchasing their games. We do not want to see our patch hosted or distributed with any illegal copies of the game.

You can buy the games below:

Fate/stay night Realta Nua Standard Edition

Note: Currently the voice patch does not work with the F/sn Realta Nua Extra Edition. We are investigating if we can support this version for a next release.

Sorry for the forum activation issues over the past few days. Users who attempted to register since Feb 8th have not been receiving their activation emails. This is an issue that came up since we moved the forums to another server. Check your email now, you should have a confirmation.

If you attempted to use more the one email to create and account, and want that account removed, please reply (from the email you wanted to register) to (TheXev AT gmail com) and tell me you want that account removed. All remaining accounts will be removed within a weeks time, then you can attempt to register again if you'd like.

*UPDATED*

All unactivated accounts have been deleted. We had a massive wave of spam after the mails started going out. Banned many email address ranges, and changed our spam filter settings to something much more effective. Sorry guys, you'll just have to deal with the case sensitive input on the captcha.

Utawarerumono translation patch has been released!

While I consider this an open beta release because it did not undergo the same level of internal proofing as our other releases, please play and enjoy it to the fullest!

The release is currently compatible with the PC DVD version.

ATTENTION: VERSION 1.1 QUICKFIX AVAILABLE
This fixes the improper line breaking in the beginning and the installer bug when patching a Japanese installation (see Readme for details).

Voice Patch

Also, krfsm has announced on the forums his creation of a patch which allows the importation of voice files from the PS2 version. Read the details here.

Utawarerumono Typo/Grammar Mistake Report [v1.1]
Utawarerumono Bug Report [v1.1]

NOTE: Version 1.0 had messed up line spacing up until the 2nd battle because I was using an old text input program that made the line length 43 instead of 40 characters long. This made things run over and offset proper line breaks. My comp died and I obtained an old copy of the program... this was fixed. I recommend getting the update, which also allows you to patch an existing Japanese installation. Has a rumored ability to work with kitchen appliances as well.

Comments on the forums

Just like with our other releases, no discussion of obtaining the game by any illegal means. I'm not interested in engaging in any philosophical debate over this topic.

We're not hosting torrents of the game and we don't want to see our patch hosted along with any illegal copies of the game.

This is not meant to be endorsement of these stores, but Utawarerumono can be bought from these locations:

Paletweb's Utawarerumono (cheaper)
Himeyashop's Utawarerumono

Give the original authors and staff your best support!

Both the website and the forum have been moved to our dedicated server now. DNS may take a while to propagate. After three days, I will be removing the redirect on the old server.

Everything should be lots faster now and there's still more tweaking to be done. Post any comments/problems below about things working/not working and comment if it feels faster.
