This now leaves me with one question.. what's happening to all your other 32 games you have in the translation list?
Dark Half is a bit of a special case. This was a project I was actively following back when I first started, and one of the ones I most wanted to see done. When Eien ni Hen talked about it on the
Romhacking Histories podcast, given the stuff she's done for AGTP in the past and how SirYoink's Dark Half project had sort of stalled, I figured I'd look into it and if it was an easy enough project I'd offer my services. It's by no means a simple game to work with, but compared to a lot of the other stuff on my list it qualifies as low-hanging fruit.
For the rest, the short version is "life intrudes." I'm working an average of 50 hours a week, some of which happen in the middle of my "time off" each weekday evening and effectively prevent me from doing anything that takes more than 30-60 minutes. If I'm going to sit down and work on a project I usually need to block off a couple of hours - if not an entire afternoon and evening - to tackle some of the more complicated problems (like SMT if...'s currently broken shops, or Romancing SaGa 2's font problems.) This means sacrificing sleep (on weeknights) or valuable weekend time. I do this on occasion, but with a dearth of available time, it's easy to get frustrated.
I should note that this is *not* affecting SRW Alpha. There are still a few editors working on the second pass of the script, and for the moment that's largely out of my hands. Nor does it mean that I'm giving up on stuff, it's just going to take longer than it used to when time was plentiful. And again, Dark Half is comparatively low-hanging fruit.
