Well, we’ve actually had it up and running for over a month now, and I really don’t know why I haven’t posted any news here on it. We have a new website layout and we hope you enjoy the new experience. We’re slowly getting back into gear on our non-Tsukihime related projects, so bear with us as we get back into gear.
I present www.revolve-trans.org. I hope everyone likes it and the new URL!
Please post your thoughts in this thread on the forums, and let us know what you think!
The “rewrite” is at 26.69%.
We’ve successfully migrated to a SVN repository. Anyone who requires SVN access will have to get a username and password my way.
In other news, Ryuusoul is already at 11.49%. He’s still expecting the fangirls who want to have his fanbabies.
And in other news, I win an Xbox for going to orientation week. Hurrah.
I obtained all the original Japanese text file sizes, enabling me to come up with a more accurate picture of the rewrite’s progress.
We are currently at 6.36%.
A new chapter in the life of chendo begins soon as university starts tomorrow. Orientation day was fun, the highlight of the day being a post-it note with “stuck in post-it note factory, send help”. I’m going to QUT Gardens Point, so if you’re going there too, try not to stalk me, although I will accept presents of gratitude and dates with fangirls ;p
Anyway, I was overseas for around ten days and I just got back last Tuesday. I was in Taiwan visiting relatives mainly, although I came back with a new computer. Well, not really came back, as I posted it and now Customs wants to tax me, the bastards. I save $500 either way, so it’s not that bad.
New box’s specs:
AMD X-2 3800+ (overclocked to 2.4ghz)
2x1gb Kingston HyperX RAM
DFI NF4-D mobo, SLI and SATA2 modded
2x WD 320gb SATA2 16mb cache HDs
2x ASUS all-format burners
2x Gigabyte 6800GS PCI-e SLI
This box will let me play around with the newest technology (SLI, SATA2, RAID, dual-core, double-channel RAM, overclocking and whatnot) since my box is old and almost dying, old and sucks in general.
Just a little side news regarding mirror moon, Ryuusoul got sick of slow rewrite speeds so he’s doing it himself. Melty Blood’s going somewhere and we have a new secret project under way (no prizes for guessing what, though).
Just an update since I was overseas for a week and a bit. Check my blog if you care.
Ryuusoul’s taken over the rewriting as the guy who was doing the rewrite was too slow for his tastes. I believe he’s already at 4% or something. Crazy Ryuusoul. We hope to have it done soon.
Important note to everyone with CVS access: We are moving to SVN on March 1st. Contact me on IRC for more info. Passwords -will- have to be redone btw, and you’ll have to get TortoiseSVN.
hokay. so. me life.
Christmas. Impulse-bought myself a sexy Logitech G15. Sexy. Got a phat Rip Curl wallet, btw… my old one was falling to bits (like 3 months old, gg).
Went to a New Years Eve party, nothing too special. Went to a gathering at the same place, got smashed, good fun.
(Sorry for lack of details btw, I can’t recall anything interesting. Yes, I can recall stuff. Sorta.)
In WoW.. I quit my old guild cause of drama reasons and was solo for like 4 days… then joined Revanche (<3). We're a decent guild, MC on farm status, and we don't give a crap what spec you are. So I'm a feral druid and I dps on trash mobs in MC (and when I OoM in boss fights, I go into cat and dps :D). Currently I'm decked out in three epics (two being PVP rewards, lol), mostly blues and a green. For feral gear. Otherwise on me I carry 41 equipable items (not including the ones I'm wearing), and these include a healing set (4/8 Cenarion with Stormrage Helm :D), a pvp set and other misc stuff I replace if I'm low on durability. Some screenshots of my time in WoW here. I have some nice crits on casters there, mostly in my -PVP- gear, which focuses on feral-inclined but has enough other stats for caster pvp. Oh, and I’m around 10th on DPS charts in MC, beating most of the warlocks (cause they banish a lot), some of the mages and the occasional hunter or rogue. Funny thing is, in ZG yesterday I was asked to heal, yet they put me in with a warrior, two rogues and a hunter. Oh well.
Enough WoW.
I got recently hooked on to Pendulum, some phat drum and bass a friend introduced me to. He said it was like a prodigy of Prodigy. Yah. Something like that.
Oh, I went up the coast for few days with mates and some girls I have probably met before but due to my memory hating proper nouns I couldn’t remember their names. Although I did manage to tell that a girl had her hair straightened, dyed and cut. Go me!
And I’m setting up a blog at chendo.net (redirects to blog.chendo.net), but it’s still empty as it’s still on the setting up stage. WordPress is kinda new to me and I’m not sure what to put on there cause I dun want girls to think I’m just a nerdy pervert who plays WoW or something.
… I am much, much more. :3
And before the movies today, we were outside the cinemas scouting for free internet. Yes, we found some (unsecured ftw), logged into the routers for fun (didn’t change anything, lol), see what else was on the network, etc. I found an IP that was up, tried to view it in explorer… came up with a username/password box. Guest didn’t work, but Administrator with no password did 😀
Quick look told me it was a POS of some sort. I couldn’t figure out where it was at but we found some juicy files like Stock.mdb but couldn’t open cause friend’s laptop lacked office. gg.
Got my uni ID as well… I’ll be doing Bachelor of IT at QUT Gardens Point :D. Just gotta ninja all the best lecture and tutorial times >:3
But yeah, that’s my life for now.
It’s a day or two late, but we have great news!
… Tsukihime is read– no, wait.
Ryuusoul’s back! Yes, he’s back! Back again! Ryuusoul’s back! Tell a friend! And he’ll be working on Melty Blood and possibly ReACT until we get somewhere with the rewrite, which has hit ~45%. I’m sure you guys have waited long enough a few months (or maybe another year… lol 🙂 won’t matter 😛
So it’s been 3 weeks since I came back from Japan.
School’s started and classes are sucking and taking up my time. But I’ve managed to finish 6 of the games I bought in Japan.
Here’s a small review of what I’ve played:
To heart2-Very good game, but it relied too much on the popularity of the previous game. Lots of moe, but that’s about it. (8 out of 10)
Shuumatsu no Sugoshikata- It had great potential setting (world coming to an end) but could not build on it, way too short. (5 out of 10)
Sharin no Kuni, Himawari no Shoujyo-Words cannot express this game. If you understand Japanese, this is a game to get. Scenario was amazing.(10 out of 10)
Remember 11-This game surpassed Ever17 in every aspect except one. It was interesting, lots of mysteries, more suspense, and I finished it straight from start to finish. The one aspect it lacked was the solving of the mystery. It leaves the player to figure the mystery out (To say what it’s like, it’s like Ever17 ending right at the “mirror scene.) (9 out of 10)
Kagetsu Tohya-A good fan-disc, but the system is so out of date, it irritated me while playing the game. Akira should have had more appearances too^^ (7 out of 10)
Fate Hollow Ataraxia-Good fan disc as well. Effects are god-like.They leaned more to comedy, and less action. I guess it depends on tastes, but I prefer they didnt do so. Sakura pool scene=nosebleed (8 out of 10)
Speaking of Fate, another voting will take place at the official Type-Moon page. Everyone, vote for Sakura!!! I will do anything to get her #1 ^^
(Progress:Prologue+1st day finished)
