Day 4 (12/14/2009 PST) - "All bends to my will."

For jumps, I'm guessing some "if i > x"'s could do.

Day 4 (12/14/2009 PST) - "All bends to my will."

I forgot to include the part about rounding up... <_>

Day 4 (12/14/2009 PST) - "All bends to my will."

It seems to me the formula is simply (Level+1)*(Level+2)*200/6, rounded the nearest integer. Combined with Craze's tip, I suppose it would result in:

for i in 1..98
@exp_list(i) = (i + 1 ) * (i + 2) * 200 / 6
end

What I managed to figure out (mostly the useless stuff):

Year 2009, Month 12, Day 14 (Monday)
(Komori D) 1st: Developers' Blog has started!

Everyone, it is nice to meet you. I am "Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3 Seikai no Raihousha"'s director, Komori. It's been a long time since giving a Creator's Works to read! (I probably got this wrong?)

Now, let's please all get along well with this blog (or something like that).

Well, last week, on the 10th (Thursday), "Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3: Seikai no Raihousha" was finally announced. However, I started to think about planning Sekaiju no Meikyuu 2's MASTER UP before the end of the year 2007.

"What would I do if Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3 were to not be produced!?" and "Wouldn't that be interesting?" were my first thoughts. Various ideas were considered. Then, about 2 years later, development for this Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3 resumed.

The development guidelines have been about "betraying expectations to meet the users' expectations." (unsure)

We have planned to continue using the same system for the game. For steadiness, every user can stop imagining the range of the game. (range of genre?)

The rest of the post started to confuse me so I gave up. I also don't know what "MASTER UP" means. The "D" in "Komori D" isn't part of his name. It might be standing for director?

It seems a bit odd, but I'm not sure what else to call "binary star".

Green text at top:
A new character and the special techniques of the "Wave Arts"' introduction!
(Actually, only "A new character and" is on this page and the rest is on the previous page.)

First paragraph:
15 years ago, a Super Famicon game was released as the RPG, "Estpolis Denki II." This product for the Nintendo DS is a complete remake of the game "Estpolis". As previously reported, there were the hero Maxim and the heroine Selena. Then, information about the God of Destruction Gades was reported. This time, it's Maxim's childhood friend's, Tia's, introduction! Furthermore, the character-specific skills, the "Wave Arts", are also discussed. Dungeon strategy and battle (something), (something about head/mind).
(Super Famicon = SNES, Estpolis Denki = Lufia, "hero" Maxim as in "protagonist")

Orange text:
Thoughts gather to the hero Maxim
An innocent second-hand shop's poster girl
(kanbanmusume is apparently a "pretty daughter who attracts boys to parents' shop")

Second paragraph:
The story begins and the scene is Elcid, where a kanbanmusume works at a second-hand shop. She is Maxim's childhood friend. Having lost both parents early, her personality is that of a lonely spoiled child (unsure). Harboring slightly romantic feelings towards Maxim, she forcibly becomes a party member (unsure). She carries a special trunk equipped with a wave device in a hook shot (unsure of the wave device's and the hook shot's relation).

(The katakana suggests Elcid is actually pronounced Elkid.)

Blue text:
120% jealousy towards Maxim!!

Text describing the top screenshot:
At Maxim setting off on a trip, Tia throws a tantrum. (Sentence I am unsure of: About Maxim, to think, reason of reaction, however) As a result, what will become of her love?

Top screenshot:

T, "travel" what!? To a place without me, two people plan on going on a trip!? What? Is this an elopement of love!?

Lufia DS! Remake of Lufia 2!

Even more crappy translation of the wave device's story because of somewhat long sentences:
Waves and the Wave Device

The wave device was a heritage from the gods. That is what the power of the gods manifested itself as.

Gods' ruins were scattered across the world. The gods' artifacts, the "Wave Devices", were left in there. Water continuously flows from the Wave Device, overflowing with violent burning flames and mysterious powers (Uh...?). People gathered around the ruins, streets were born, and countries were shaped.

As time passed, genius scientist Dr. Lexis Shaia's efforts began to elucidate the mysteries of the mechanism of the wave devices. Everyone possesses "thoughts describing power." (imaginating about power?) The Wave device is what people believed at the occasion separating tip at god's "Wave" agreement, core becoming "(something) stone" hidden created thing
(even more "Uh...?" that I left nearly all literal because I couldn't figure it out).

If simple power is power created from wave devices, fire and water, light (something) power arrive until various purity group exists (some more literal "Uh...?"), people began to use it in everyday life.

Pictures to the right:
Picture 1:
Scattered all over the world, these are the gods' ruins.

Picture 2:

Picture 3:
Seeking the wave device, Maxim visits the ruins.

Picture 4:
Maxim, at the ruins, gets his hands on the wave device.

Picture 5:
Maxim tries the wave device. (?; can't recognise 7th character)

Picture 6:
Responding to Maxim's spirit's wave, energy was produced.

Pictures 7 and 8:
This energy joins with the sword, embodied as roaring flames; this is Maxim's power.

The song playing is labeled as "Main Theme (Arranged Version)".

Lufia DS! Remake of Lufia 2!

A crappy and incomplete translation of the prologue:

Prologue

The world is destroyed and regeneration follows.

For thousands of years, this history of destruction and regeneration by gods had been repeated. People were gradually forgetting this history.

It is now the present. In this world where everyone believes that the gods exist, the power the gods brought, the "Wave Device", was used to enjoy prosperity.

Floating in the sky were the huge ruins of the gods. (or is it ruins of huge gods?) These ruins were called the "Island of Nothingness" (Doom Island?),
(The rest of the sentence is maybe "(something) was calling to the world"). However...

(NEXT)

Suddenly, a roaring sound was emitted. Flaming red Island of Nothingness (glowing?).
Any/Some/Nowhere on the world, voices of despair (something) across

"I am the god of destruction, Gades. I will destroy this world. Humans, struggle well."

The gods' resurrection and the time of destruction have come. (or is it "The time of the gods' resurrection and destruction has come"?)

The "Wave Device" is the only power that can compete with gods. Having acquired that power, the "Hero of the Waves" appears and a new history begins.

(BACK)

I'll wait... for I am the owner of the powerful wave. (I'm not sure about the part after the ellipsis.)

Boss Project V: Dead Space

It's a bit weird if it's intended, but the cutscene with the skeleton that disappears in a puff of skull-shaped smoke can be triggered over and over. Also, those "real" pictures are a bit disturbing. :(

Alter A.I.L.A. Genesis

"Heys, the demo actually ends at phase 3. Phase 4 won't be available until the next release. There's suppose to be a msg saying that after the phase end screen, but I must've overwritten it in one of the patches. Sorry about that. "

... is what I got as a reply when I asked about that too.
