Climax Entertainment illustrator Yoshitaka Tamaki passes away at 55 years old









Quote
Tamaki-san’s artwork was easily recognizable with its stylized merging of anime and Disney-esce visual styles. Sega fans will remember his art best from games like Shining in the Darkness, Shining Force, Landstalker, Time Stalkers, and Shining Soul I and II, each of the Sega games he worked on during his time at Climax Entertainment, the developers of all except for the two Shining Soul games. Before all that, he got his start in the video game industry working freelance at Enix until getting noticed by Climax and asked to design art for their first Genesis game, the aforementioned Shining in the Darkness. Besides those games, he would also illustrate for games like FEDA: The Emblem of Justice (both the Super Famicom original and its Sega Saturn remake), FEDA 2: White Surge, Alundra, and Assault Suits Vaiken. Unfortunately, photos of him are rare because ...

Under Defeat (Dreamcast) - English Translation Patch







Quote
Under Defeat almost doesn't need a translation but I still went ahead and got rid of the scary kanji. I even got rid of the not-so-scary kana. I pre-ordered Under Defeat from Lik-Sang when it came out, and it's my favorite shooter on the DC. I prefer non-bullet hell shooters, so Under Defeat is right up my alley. I generally use a CRT for my DC, but I got a cheap LCD and rotating stand so I could replay some games like UD in tate mode, which lead me to try to translate it.
Changes:
- Opening text translated
- Ending text translated
- Tutorial translated
- End of level ...
