Proud to announce that Yaku: Yūjō Dangi now has full English translation! I have been fortunate to work alongside the very talented whowasphone404 and Chapu to put together a patch for this classic kusoge game! youtu.be/Qm7e34FdXNE?... Download the patch here: romhackplaza.org/translations...

Do you want to know what game we'll translate next? All you have to do is follow the clues...🟪

I MAAAAY OR MAY NOT HAVE HAD A HAND IN THIS PRODUCTION. I MAAAAY OR MAY NOT HOPE YOU ENJOY IT.

For the first time ever outside of Japan and fresh from the #WholesomeDirect, experience the charming gameplay of Milano's Odd Job Collection! All-new updates to this classic bring modern convenience to this highly replayable retro adventure! Stay tuned for more details! youtu.be/tXKI7CIu1d8?...

Very rarely do the projects I work on overlap with so many of my own personal interests the way Milano's Odd Job Collection has. I'm excited for everyone to see these pretty Playstation pixels and I am looking forward to helping out on more localization efforts like this in the future!

The news is finally out! It’s a huge honor to say that I translated and localized Milano's Odd Job Collection! I’d learned so much from everyone among HilltopWorks, Implicit Conversions, XSEED/Marvelous, and our brilliant voice cast! (Thank you all!) Please show little Milano your support!

We're proud to announce HilltopWorks is partnering with Marvelous/XSEED and Implicit Conversions to translate and re-release Japan-only PS1 game Milano's Odd Job Collection! youtu.be/Xy_ruUqa7fc

Congratulations to Hilltop for completing one of his passion projects! Apparently, Twizzler is Hilltop's favorite cat in the game, so let's help Twizzler find happiness.

Jingle Cats is a Japan-only PS1 game where you make cats fall in love so they'll sing songs for you. We've translated it for you to enjoy. youtu.be/jaJTUAeq04M?...

The Jingle Cats PS1 English patch will be released next week! If you want your cat added to the in-game credits, you can become a patron at the "Your name in the credits" tier and send me a picture here: www.patreon.com/c/hilltopworks

After a long search, uncertain that it even existed, I finally located the CD-ROM TRIPITAKA 玄奘三蔵求法の旅, the elusive sequel to the legendary Cosmology of Kyoto. Here is the ISO for your emulational pleasure. archive.org/details/trip...

I'm working on Jingle Cats again. You WILL make the cats fall in love and then have them sing Bill Joel's "The Stranger".

It's hard to express, but some games have an overwhelming feeling like they belong on the Dreamcast.

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

The PC-FX's most Segagaga-like game, Megami Tengoku II, is about lifeless 3D polygons taking over the world. To fight back, you recruit fans who give you money and fight with you. You maintain your mental and physical health by eating, buying items, and doing various side activities.

I'm delighted to announce my English translation of Puppy Love Story on Casio Loopy, a visual novel penned by Kenji Terada. You can play on real hardware with a Floopy Drive, or emulate with LoopyMSE. I translated the manual as a little bonus too! Prepatched available at archive.org/details/pupp...

TV Man from Tengai Makyo: The Apocalypse IV would have popped off on Tumblr. Just sayin.
