Developer Secrets: Racing Lagoon Hacking Deep-Dive

Added 2022-04-30 22:38:59 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone,

Here's the latest episode of Developer Secrets where I go in-depth on the technical process of hacking Racing Lagoon and other games for localization. This is a very technical and programming-oriented presentation that touches on each of the challenges that are faced when trying to turn a Japanese video game into English. It is also a recording from a presentation that I gave so there is a more general introduction and parts where I reference the audience.

This is a different style of video compared to the others in this series and I'd like to know if you like this kind of content and what you would like to see from this series moving forward. I was considering doing a series where I stream on Twitch and Patrons can submit games for me to try and hack on-stream. If that sounds interesting, let me know.

The PS1 animation extractor is also still coming, I just want to make it slightly easier to use before releasing it.
