Software developer, reverse engineer, data enthusiast. I like taking things apart & putting them back together. Anything is possible with enough determination.

@demonvelsper The season ended, so people at higher ranks all de-ranked a certain amount, which makes it a lot harder to progress through lower ranks.

TWO more human-led SRW patches in the works, as announced by Arc Impulse on bsky!
We've got SRW NEO for the Wii and SRW OG: Dark Prison for the PS3.

@abyss Stolen work. Stop supporting this garbage.

@theflow0 This trend is happening in pretty much all reverse engineering scenes. It's really sad. Have been a fan of and appreciated your work since the PSP days, but you gotta do what's best for yourself.

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

@burntends2 And neither does the DQM 1+2 slop. This is what happens when you have people who have no idea what they're doing asking the AI to do everything.

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

Don't post much about SRW (yet?), but for those interested, a friend of mine is working on a real (non AI) SRW Z patch that has been in the works for a while, and is looking for translators/editors. Please help spread the word! https://t.co/CXWEhC8TVo

Project Inferia, The biggest journey I've ever taken to complete my life's goal. Bringing back Tales of Eternia Online.

Over the last 6 years, I've been honing my skills and working slowly on this game that means the world to me.

Today I present you the first part of my journey.

I guess I don't need to spend any more of my precious free time on translation projects anymore, since anyone with an AI subscription can accomplish the same thing while doing absolutely zero work. 🙃

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

You can literally see where the burn out started >_<

Super strong first half of the year, strong end of the year!

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

Looking back on 2025, at first it felt like I made very little progress on projects this year, but looking over all my github commits, I feel I accomplished a decent amount this year. Here's to more progress in 2026, and maybe even a release or two!

The original PS1 Scolding spell is just displaying 45 random kanji, pulled directly from the kanji font file with no meaning to them.

The reason this is bugged in the English releases is because... well, they removed the kanji file so now it has nothing to display. 🤷 Oops?

@SilverForte1 @LifeBottleProd @rappigcrossing The tweet says: Phantasia X.

According to the developer diary of the Sega Saturn version of Suikoden, August 28th is the writer's birthday, but when he worked on the game no one remembered it.

I don't know who is behind the pseudonym KASA-P, but I do know his birthday.

お誕生日おめでとう 、かさPさん！ 🥳��

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

@ZappaSlayer I think some other bugs are being worked on. Probably sometime soon?

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

I spent a little bit of time on Tales again. Completely re-wrote the battle sub system for Tales of Rebirth. Good-bye 2 lines system, hello forever-expanding chat-log style subs. What do you think?

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

@demonvelsper "New 108 Stars, A New Tale of Runes" sounds like a terrible case of AI translation. Here's hoping they just quickly AI-assisted translated this to get a trailer out..? But doesn't bode well at all...

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

(The "random" positioning is actually where it drops you off after playing Tai Ho, right above him. The game uses the exact same code regardless of who you're playing. HD Remaster just puts you at the bottom both times.)

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

Ever wonder why Suikoden 1 places you in this weird position after playing Chinchirorin with Gaspar when trying to recruit him, regardless of your starting position?

[Julian Lightfellow @JLightfellow]

Every time you play Chinchirorin now, you will remember that Tir is actually hiding under the cup! You're welcome.
