I'd like to announce that I served as a translator on Super Robot Wars Y.
This series has been a longtime favorite of mine, and it was a dream of mine for many years to work on it.
I'm beyond honored to have had this opportunity to work on one of them with such a fantastic localization team.

And that about covers it for an overview of the game. There's still a lot more to it that I haven't mentioned here, but it was a fun project to work on, so I hope you all try it out and enjoy seeing what the game has to offer!

Naturally, with this visual novel centering around the members of V.W.P., music factors heavily into this game and its story, featuring dozens of vocal songs from V.W.P., its members, and other associated acts who also appear in the game's story as characters as well.

Furthermore, REGENERATE features gameplay beyond the standard "read and select choices" particular to VNs, including segments where you can investigate locations, the ability to choose where to go next on maps, and possibly more...

Each route has its own unique genre and theme, exploring different aspects of Kamitsubaki City and its inhabitants. There are many endings to be found, both good and bad alike, and split-second thinking can make all the difference in determining whether you live or die.

In this story, you play as a protagonist who works together with five individuals to solve the mysteries shrouding Kamitsubaki City and protect it from those that would threaten its safety, working together to protect the world from impending doom.

However, Kamitsubaki's troubles are far from over, for there are many bizarre mysteries that beguile the city and its residents, including stories of mysterious disappearances, murders, ghosts sightings, and so on, attracting so much attention that some are dedicated to solving these mysteries.

Seven years have passed, and the city has managed to rebuild to a sustainable level thanks to developing a radiation shield to keep the radiation out. The city was designed to be self-sustainable, and is divided into multiple district, each with their own part in maintaining the city.

REGENERATE's story takes place on an Earth devastated in 2018 by a global disaster known as the Blackout, where unnatural solar activity bathed the Earth in immense cosmic radiation. Kamitsubaki City, a fictional city in an alternate Japan, is one such city impacted, resulted in the deaths of many.

That being said, REGENERATE is completely stand-alone, meaning you will not need to have played any of these other games or series to enjoy this.

The first entry in this series was "Kamitsubaki City Under Construction. Emergence", a Japanese-only browser game that ran in October 2021. Tangentially related to the series is also "KAMITSUBAKI CITY ENSEMBLE", a rhythm game for Steam, and an anime series schedule to come out this year.

Many of the songs of V.W.P.'s members form a sort of combined lore that establishes the basis of the "Kamitsubaki City Under Construction." multimedia project created by the music label KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO, featuring music, videos, games (video and tabletop), and even anime.

Kamitsubaki City Under Construction. REGENERATE is a sci-fi thriller/urban fantasy/mystery visual novel that centers around the city of Kamitsubaki and fictional versions of the five virtual singers who make up the unit V.W.P. (Virtual Witch Phenomenon): KAF, RIM, Harusaruhi, Isekaijoucho, and Koko.

Now, there may be many of you out there who have never heard of this game, much less the Kamitsubaki City Under Construction series, so I would like to introduce you to the game and series in this following thread.

I'm thrilled to announce that I serve as the editor/assistant translator on Death Match Love Comedy!
DMLC takes place in the same universe as Raging Loop and features all sorts of links, but in a different genre altogether!
Hope you enjoy all the hijinx!

Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE ALL MY MONEY GODDAMMIT

...What can I say? I'm a very simple man.
