mirror moon and Revolve hereby formally announce our merger into a single group: mirror moon.

Ever since mirror moon and Revolve joined forces to tackle Tsukihime years ago, the same staff has been working under two different names. mirror moon was the name applied to TYPE-MOON game translation and Revolve was pretty much anything else. In effect, we have been one group in everything but name, which sometimes led to confusion. As the scale of our projects expand, this distinction grows less relevant and more cumbersome.

Just some of the benefits include:

• Not having to juggle multiple names for the sake of dubious distinction.
• Enabling us to eliminate redundancy by consolidating to a single news website and eliminate unnecessary webhosting.
• Better portraying the scope of our projects as all translations are viewed as coming from a single source.
• Further centralizing certain processes and decentralizing others.

Our IRC channel will become #mirrormoon@irc.irchighway.net and our new forum location is http://forums.mirrormoon.org.

Future releases will be under the name mirror moon.

Because our merger has happened seamlessly long ago, this will not result in any conflicts of interest, interruptions in progress, or hostile corporate takeovers.

As some of you might have noticed, we were offline for around half an hour for some maintenance.

And even more of you would’ve noticed the new theme! Please report any bugs and what not that you might notice in the comments. If it is due to Internet Explorer, then it’s not a bug, and don’t bother reporting it if you’re using Internet Explorer, since IE isn’t a real browser :p

Get Firefox in the link that you should see below the header.

Also, if you preferred the older themes, you can still pick them in My Account -> Edit.

The staff at mirror moon wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As most of you have noticed, we tried out a new theme for the site, which was a direct inverting of all coloured elements. It has now defaulted back to the black one, but for those of you who liked the white one (most of the staff do), you can change it by going to “my account”, then “edit”, then pick your desired theme in there.

By now everybody should be aware that we of mirror moon and Revolve Translations never ask for any form of compensation for our work and effort. We do these projects because we enjoy them, and to promote the genre of these games outside the Japanese markets. We’ve said it before and we will continue saying it: The best way to support us is to buy the games we translate.

Having said that however, I have recently discovered that Turner Classic Movies offers the ability for people to vote which classic movies they should release on DVD. So in an unofficial capacity I would like to ask all you fans out there to help me in my quest: Telling TMC to release the only good kind of piracy!
Treasure Island, starring the number 1 actor of old Charlton Heston, is by virtually all viewers considered to be the best rendition of the book ever made, and I would really want to see it released once more.

This is where you come in! Not as a reward, but as a personal favour to me, I would be very thankful if you could cast a vote in favour of this awesome film. To vote, simply go to this page (link), click on the little brown ‘vote’ button to the right, and enter whatever mailaddress you want. Don’t worry, nothing will be sent to you unless you enable the extra option.

Many thanks for every vote you can get me — Long live the fans!

Title says it all.

I am still debating how the editing/beta testing phase will be run.

We still have to edit all the pictures as well.

Things are looking good.
