there should be a [REQ] tag

I don't understand why after all these years, people still think they can find help in GW. In case you haven't figured it out by now Nick, no one cares in GW. Least of all about rpgmaker. They just log on here to flame each other and generally act like idiots.

If I knew how to help you, I would.

None of this changes the fact that this has been against the rules since the dawn of time.

He didn't say "I want it for free". He asked where he could find it.

he didn't ask where he could buy it, and it's clear everyone would assume that he wants to download it if he didn't specify.  plus, it's pretty clear he'd need it right away to translate a game for a conference that's only a couple of weeks away.

btw i really doubt square/sony is gonna want to see your rpgmaker game sorry bub.  especially because if anything you'd be better off showing them you can translate something that wasn't written by you.  it's easy to write your own words in another language, but it's harder with someone else's since you have to understand what THEY mean.  you already know what YOU mean.

Yeah you're right. I just want to have something to show.
The thing about translating it is just in case they don't know English
it might be easier for them.

wait, i don't get this at all.

you want a job doing localization, so first of all you should probably be translating something from japanese to english and not the other way around (since the companies you seem to be interested aren't english-speaking ones)

but now you're saying that you're just translating it so that they can see your game.  which has nothing to do with localization, it has to do with YOUR GAME.  yet your game is an rm2k game full of FF characters.

just what exactly are you trying to prove to them?  if you want to do localization, show them you can translate something from japanese to english and have it come out well.  if you want to show them your gamemaking skills, then don't show them something full of THEIR characters made in a program that simplifies the process in a way that won't really benefit you in a job with them.  i'm not trying to belittle you but honestly if i were a scout or w/e for a company you would not be making a very good impression showing me your final fantasy rpgmaker game.  you've got a few weeks, why not try to find a much better way of presenting yourself so that you don't seem like an annoying kid who wants to get into the WONDERFUL WORLD OF VIDGAMES

there's tons of people out there interested in the companies you're interested in and the same jobs as well.  you're going to have to do something far cleaner than this to score that job.

edit: also looking at the website for this career forum, if you're interested in sony you'd better be speaking japanese at the same level as a japanese native, because that's all they want.  square just requires business level though.

I'm not saying you shouldn't try, btw, you definitely should.  I just don't think you should be doing it by showing them your rpgmaker game.  Think more professionally.

What's wrong with showing my game I don't understand. You can't even tell its made in RPG Maker.
I just thought it'd be better to show them something

First of all, if you're interested in doing localization, then that should be your focus.  Showing them your game doesn't really say "I want to do localization", it says "I want to make games."

Second, I can only assume that the games you're talking about are the ones in your sig.  If that's the case, then you'd be showing them a game full of mismatched graphics and trees shaped like butts.  Is this really something that says "please give me a job"?  Just going by the screenshots, you also have lines about harvesting body parts from fetuses, Jew jokes, jokes like this, typo (HUGE no-no when you're trying to prove you're fluent in a language and you can't even spell things in your own).  Now please, tell me why a businessman from Square would look at this and offer you a job?  I'm not telling you that you shouldn't make games like this and have fun with it, do what you want.  What I'm telling you is not to use this to represent yourself in a business setting.  There'd be nothing wrong with showing them your indie games if they were more like something you'd see from, say, cactus.  Not to say that they'd have to be AS GOOD because he's a pretty damn high standard for a beginner.  What I'm saying is that it'd be something very presentable in a professional sense.  On top of that, even he probably wouldn't go in and say "Hello my name is cactus and here is my game SPACE FUCK".

Even if you're presenting some entirely different game that you haven't shown anyone on GW (or at least don't link to in your sig), think about it--do you really have time to show someone a game?  You aren't going to be the only one there.  You need to think in terms of time.  Find something much more direct to show them (this is why I recommended translating something else).  You said you weren't trying to pitch your game to them--but are THEY going to know that if you say you're interested in translating yet instead you show them a game you made?

nickmasterx you might want to read this before you go

The more I read about this the more it becomes abundantly clear that not only do you need to be pretty impressive at Japanese, but also you'd better have a solid resume because that's the only thing they're going to be seeing.
