I've been on the localization team. For months.

My name's even in the OP.

Did you think I was just some random person trying to tell everyone how to do their jobs despite not having any involvement with the project whatsoever? Cause I'm not.

The only reason I'm saying these things like I'm on the team is because I've been on the team for nearly a year now. Maybe a year, I dunno. It's been a while.

Ouch, I feel hit. :( I had only good intentions and wanted to help.

I'll come back when I get a reply from the OP.

No no no it's okay to help out. I just felt attacked by that post implying that I wasn't part of the team but acting like I was.

Seriously, you've brought up some very valid points, so thank you for that. :3

Seriously though, is the OP online at all? I sent him/her a PM on Thursday, and it's already Saturday my time. :(
 
yugix? It's rare when they check the thread as of late, though that might be more because of the large period of inactivity that only ceased recently. Patience, you'll get a reply soon enough.

Also another thing I wanted to bring up: Mainframe Bay is split into two sections, a northern section and a southern one. You can see in this map I'm reposting on this page.

I'm not that good at Japanese, and the text is kinda small, but you can see that it's separated into two distinct red boxes. I don't exactly remember whether or not it's split like that in-game, but if it is we may need to figure out what to name those.

The text is a little small, but there is no doubt that the red boxes are "North Brigde" and "South Bridge" on Mainframe. Also the smaller island on GPU is called "Archive Island", it even has the character for Island.

^ 'Teima Port' is Tamer Port, 'Remit Port' is Limit Port, and 'Cron Port' is Chrome Port. :>
Also, North Bridge and South Bridge are indeed the two islands that make up the Motherboard Continent (whatever name we're going with right now). iirc they are referred to as islands in the script.

My internet's been unbelievably shitty lately (my connection's barely stable for a minute at a time) so you might not be seeing me much P:

Aah. I thought it was cron as in those automatic script thingies you hear about on websites. Limit port, doh. I should have seen that, haha.
 
I was trying to figure out what Teima and Remit were haha. Thanks for that.

Also since Mainframe Island is too long...

Perhaps we could use Server Island? Not only would it mean something similar, but it's also a throwback to Adventure 01, where they went from File Island to the Server Continent.

Either that or we could just use Mainframe Is.

Dawn/Dusk used that as an abbreviation regarding Farm Islands, so there's precedence for that abbreviation officially already.

Sorry, I rarely access the forum in weekends (which are Friday and Saturday here) since my laptop had that problem.

I would prefer if someone could fix the font to make it either smaller or can ASM hack the game to make the name show in the full screen instead of half right side and for few seconds. ( I tried changing the font but it was disaster so I abandoned it)

Hey, Yugix, if there is a localization team, are you gonna have the english names for the digimon or the straight translation?
 
Aah. I thought it was cron as in those automatic script thingies you hear about on websites. Limit port, doh. I should have seen that, haha.
I never heard of cron, actually O: I just called it chrome because Chrome Digizoid is クロンデジゾイド in Japanese.

As for the location names, I think 'Magne Mine' was called Magnet Mine in dawn/dusk iirc. other than that..yeah P:

Ahh well I've already gotten into trouble for localizing the Digimon names in the past.
yugix wanted to keep the japanese versions of the names I believe.
However, when the game is complete I can simply go through the text, change the names and make a version with the english names.

Ahh, sorry. For me weekends are Monday and Tuesday and I always forget normal people are busy during weekends. xD Thanks for adding me. Can't wait to get started.

Did you read the part about Mazabo and Grabo? I think even MOBO and GPU continent would be preferable to mazabo and grabo, but then again, it's a matter of opinion.

Yeah.... changing the font is lots of fun......

Is it a screen space limitation or some hard coded restriction? (I know the game has several things hard coded).

More like Screen space limitation, I will have to go through it again to check what is the issue since I see some names with longer length than 13 appears fine
