[PROJECT / RECRUITMENT] Future Card Buddyfight: Strongest Buddy! — English Translation Project

1790077643407.png


Hi everyone!

With the tools and reverse-engineering framework from the Cardfight!! Vanguard G: Stride to Victory project working smoothly, I'm excited to announce that work has officially started on Future Card Buddyfight: Tanjou! Ore-tachi no Saikyou Buddy! (Strongest Buddy!) for Nintendo 3DS!

Since the pipeline for extraction and re-insertion is already functional thanks to our previous tools, the technical groundwork is mostly set. Now, **we need your help to make this translation a reality!**

---

🤝 We Are Looking For:

* Translators (JPN ➔ ENG): To translate dialogue, card descriptions, menus, and story lines.
* Proofreaders / Editors: To polish translations, check for consistency with the official TCG localized terminology, and refine phrasing.
* Graphic Editors: To help edit translated text onto extracted game UI textures (GIMP/Photoshop).

Whether you can translate a full arc or just help clean up a few image templates, any contribution is warmly welcomed!
