The game stars, Musashi, a "gimmick robot." In the country of Zipangu every person has a gimmick robot. Musashi battles and meets his rival, Kojiro.

Almost like Zelda, still trying to understand some of the context. Here's some of it so far.

mother fuck... haha. How far are you? I've been trying to find a game that would be easier to start translating, then trying to do a whole RPG, especially a game that hasn't been done before.

I checked the translations side and didn't see it anywhere. Well crap.

We're doing a dual release with the GB game, which is completely finished. Still need to finish editing text and playing through game.

Hell, I've got like 20 projects and not all of them have really been announced. This was kinda like a semi-secret project, but I recall posting a few screenshots in the screenshot thread. It's kinda hard to keep track of who's working on what to be honest.

As for easy projects, anything with a good amount of text is not easy per se. My first translation was a platformer and with very minimal text.

Why did you both get "gimmick" from からくり? That means like... "mechanism" or "device". It's basically referencing the fact that the character is a robot.

Because that's how Studio Pierrot officially called them.

My favorite translation of からくり, in these circumstances and others similar, is "clockwork."

Looking through my notes on this right now... Tha game is pretty evil for a starter, I would say. As I remember, I had ti expand it and the expansion was pretty much non-standard in the field of bank positioning. Moreover, the pointers here are separated, so sometimes it's kinda worriesome to find a string you need. Moreover, it's one of the most MTEd games I've ever seen, as they compressed practically every second letter here...

I did that first part without even having to do much fiddling, there was plenty of open spaces (00). but I could see what you're talking about.

It did have the empty space but it wasn't enough. I wasn't able to use the MTE dic that effectively they did in the original. And the game is really text-heavy for a zelda-like project. Let's say, I needed 3 times more space than they had it in the original to fit the whole text in.
