A brand new Final Fantasy VI gameplay modification has been released, complete with sweeping changes across the board:

• Much harder enemies
• New damage curves, HP curves, MP curves, and XP curves.
• Vast changes to monster AI, skills, and hero skills such as spells, espers, Lores, Swdtech, Blitzes, Dances, Tools, and Rages.
• Entirely new items, from the slightly different to the game-changing and super-powerful
• New spell animations
• Hero stats have been changed, with a focus to make each hero a competitive choice
• Lastly, the Colloseum has been completely redone, with every item yielding a viable foe and progressing to better items.

Even more surprising is the supporting documentation. A bestiary, a table of the new XP, HP, and MP curves, and even the excel file used to make the game (with way more information than anyone would care to read) is included.

If you love Final Fantasy VI, and have yearned for the challenging and complex game it should have been, be sure to give this new mod a look!

When we think about the history of the Chinese videogame industry, all too often visions of pirated NES games come to mind. If you dig a little deeper, however, you’ll find a ton of gems the English-speaking world missed out on. Among these were Dynasty International’s “Tian Di Jie” series, for Windows. Why these were never picked up by a Western publisher boggles the mind, but hey, that’s where the fan translation community comes in!

Thanks to a veritable army of source language fans – who have contributed everything from utility programming to organizational skill to touched-up equipment art – a translation project for the second game in the Tian Di Jie series has thrived over the past year. The Verve Fanworks community still needs a ton of help to push this one through, including:

• Traditional Chinese-to-English text translation help. The multi-pass system has worked well for us so far, so we’re keeping an eye out both for people who have fun roughly translating tons and tons of dialogue, as well as those who only have time to provide revisions and second opinions.

• Pixel art for small elemental and equipment icons.

Join the awesome team behind this mammoth project, or just stop by and say hello, at our forum link at the bottom of this news post. We’ll leave you with some extra pics and a demo of the first three translated chapters of the game, roughly the first hour of gameplay.

Don’t hesitate to leave feedback, either here at the RH.net news thread or in the project’s “General Discussion” board at Verve Fanworks!

Aeon Genesis has updated their website with news of the impending release of Hourai Gakuen no Bouken, AKA The Adventure of Hourai High. A couple dozen new screenshots have been added to the project page at AGTP, and an article showcasing twenty before-and-after comparisons has also been created. Keep your fingers crossed for a speedy resolution to the playtesting process!

I thought I’d get the word out that an Animal Forest translation project has been in the works for what appears to be several years. A lot of work appears to have been done on the game and I think it deserves some attention since serious N64 translations don’t happen every day.

Lazy Shell was first released 2 years ago, and has been a project for nearly 4 years. It has made huge improvements since its first release due to strenuous debugging sessions, positive (and negative) community feedback, numerous bug reports by users, and in-depth experimentation through full, partial, and demo hacks. I imagine there are still probably some more bugs to sort out, but this is as good as it’ll get unless users decide to report any bugs they encounter in this thread. Also, I highly recommend checking out the palette editor’s effect features, which is capable of doing many neat things that might ease the creation of new palettes and “palette swaps” of levels and sprites. Another mention is that you can mirror/invert an entire battlefield simply by selecting it, right-clicking and clicking “Mirror” or “Invert”. It somewhat gives the battle system a new feel/appearance.

Dynamic Designs has picked up and resumed work on Silva Saga II. This is a project that Bongo` was originally working on some time ago, but had dropped due to technical issues. Those issues were recently solved.

Roughly 33% of the game was already translated by Akujin in the past, but Dynamic-Designs is seeking the assistance of a translator for the remaining game text. If you are a dedicated translator that would like to help them out, please contact them.
