Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 14

I finished Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker.
The ending really… well it felt like an ending.
The only problem was that it was so conclusive that it burned all my enthusiasm to continue.

It’s like a book that you feel content to close and move on from.
IF they release a continuation then hell yeah I’ll pick it up, but I feel no need to hang around aimlessly now…

Well, I guess I’ll have to find a new game to play.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 13

Hello everyone!
It’s time for the Christmas specials!
That’s right.

This Christmas I will be granting you 5 whole chapters!
That’s right!

I’m not sure what timing I’ll give these chapters.
Maybe every half hour. Maybe in ten minutes.
Uh…

I’ll figure it out!

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 519

As with many people I’ve been playing Endwalker.
How to explain where I am in the story without spoiling it.
Let’s see…

Nope can’t think of a way!
Uh… Urianger just rejoined the party after my solo adventure in the First?
Maybe that narrows it down without spoiling anything?

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 518

I downloaded manual mods for a game today.
It’s the first time in years that I’ve used something other than the steam workshop for mods.
It brings back some memories to when I was playing Zoo Tycoon 2.

Those were the days.
I never got half the mods working for that game which I wanted though.
The guides weren’t kid friendly back then.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 517

It’s getting increasingly hard to edit these chapters without making persona jokes.
The problem is I’ve never played persona so even if I want to make jokes I barely can.
Such a shame.

So I’m relying on you guys in the comments to make them for me.
I’ll give a prize to the best one.
It’ll be a thumbs up and a comment pin!

Yes, you can get your comment pinned! Limited time offer.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 516

The Stellaris mod I work on got updated.
Currently it’s only two of the smaller stories I worked on.

That’s an event chain for the Red Dawn origin based around Mars and Earth.
-The event chain adds some simple rewards and is mostly for roleplay, in which you restore the ISS 2
The entire On The Edge origin, which converts aspects of Frostpunk over to Stellaris for roleplay and theming.
-Your homeworld is facing an ice age! Do what you can to survive before it freezes over!
And the Three Body Problem origin, which is a much smaller origin and event mostly for aesthetic purposes, based on the book by the same name.
-Not actually sure how this one got implemented yet. There were a lot of conditional things in my draft which might have been exchanged or removed.

I might work on expanding them with player feedback.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 12

Extra good news everyone!
I’ve received valuable insider information.
According to my leak source, we will be getting five chapters for Christmas!

I’ll need to check with my informant if this will be five chapters extra for the week, or if the two usual chapters for the week are included in that total.
So you’ll either be getting five chapters or seven.
What a time to be alive!

Enjoy Volume 1 of Re:START! Starting now!

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 11

This is the final chapter of the prelude intro!
We’ll be getting into the “story proper” from here on.
I actually have no idea where the story is going to be honest so I’m on this journey with you.

In unrelated news the Stellaris mod I work on is finally getting the full update that I was part of.
That means all the story content (hopefully) I wrote will be implemented.
I have a little bit of anxiety around it because I struggled to balance gameplay and roleplay rewards.

Let’s hope the reception is good!

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 515

Hmm in a couple of weeks I should probably tally up my free funds and start calculating what I will commission next.
Sadly I failed my job application so I can’t rely on the extra income to afford my previous pace.
If only I had another form of income, oh well.

I have three things lined up too, so I’ll have to work out which order to pace them in, otherwise it could get problematic.
Ah finances are a pain.

Maybe I should consider writing an original with a patreon after all.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 514

This chapter is about night markets.
Which is great because recently in our tabletop Cyberpunk playthrough we were at one.

Just a fun coincidence.
I’ve actually been planning to build a new weapon in Cyberpunk.
But I need to finish assigning my level up points.
I have way too many!
Specifically I need to boost my invention and fabrication skills.

I should write that down.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 513

The new anime season is in just a few weeks.
I need to start looking at what will be airing next!

I know that Realist Hero Part 2 will be airing, which is exciting.
My friend is going on about Girls Frontline so I think that will be next season.
I think Princess Connect and Genius Prince are airing too.

Well next season will hopefully be less packed than this season.
This season was too hectic!

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 512

I spent all of today reading a mecha web novel.
The writing was pretty iffy and the translation was on the lower end.
But it was passable as reading material.

I spent most of the time reading it thinking about how I’d rewrite segments to improve the story.
I’d especially slow down the plot progression, each arc felt really short and some events were glossed over entirely.

Well, that’s just how I felt about it personally.
It reminded me of an old mecha novel I read at some point that I want to find again now.
I find it funny I remember that one so often and keep desiring to find it again.
There was nothing special about it but for some reason I can’t remember it.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 10

I ended up binge reading about 600+ chapters of a novel I put on hold a couple of years ago.
I really love that series.
I have some concerns now though, the author hasn’t updated again in a while, so I hope it hasn’t been forgotten about.

They’ve had a hiatus before too but returned, but still I am concerned.
I think it will be fine.
But I think I should have slowed down on my reread so the content lasted me longer, I mean it took not even a week for me to catch up on multiple years worth of translation.

Thinking I’m going to have to read at the normal pace now…
Oh well.

Oh and I can’t say what novel it is, sorry! That’s uh….
Confidential.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 9

In the latest volume of Arpeggio the mysteries are starting to reveal their answers.
The origin of the Fog itself is being exposed.
As well as some other interesting details.

I’m really curious as to how the story is going to progress further from here!
Though I have some doubts about some of the presented information.
Ah I love this manga series.

I’m glad that the anime concluded with an original ending, because the totally different tangent for the manga keeps me in suspense.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 511

This chapter has a lot of technical terms.

We probably butchered half, invented another quarter and have to explain the remainder.
So good luck!

You might have to google a link or two to get it but that’s fine.
I mean we’re just fantranslating.
We’re allowed to include notes!

I can’t imagine translating for a company where you have to follow policy.
