Racing Lagoon - English translation and localization
Racing lagoon is squaresoft's RPG racing game released in 1999, with some of the most bizarre writing and hilarious early 3D work seen in a video game!
The game was released for playstation, but never made its way out of Japan, until it was picked up as a project by Hilltop Works. Hilltop took me under his wing and onboard his team after I mentioned online that I'd also been looking at a racing lagoon translation with one of my friends.
Shortly after this, we began the tough journey of translating this 40 hour long JRPG story; Including cutscenes, in game dialogue, tutorials, items and upgrades etc. It was a large undertaking, and even with an experienced group of translators it took over a year to come to fruition.
Our efforts were noticed by a sizeable cult following that the game had, and the patch was featured in online publications like Kotaku, PC GAMER and talked about extensively by popular youtube creators like "ThorHighHeels".
