Today on Astral City Mini, my hopes for a dream remake of Trails in the Sky are scattered to the winds. How and why did its new localization falter? I’ll tell you.
Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter – Unsophisticated Fight
Once-in-a-lifetime dream remake (dreamake!) Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter should have been my perfect video game. It wasn't. Here I hope to process that disappointment and let it go. I've gone on record ad nauseam that The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky was the video game that inspired me to tread my career path. Or maybe it's more accurate to call it the final push over a threshold I'd been approaching all my life.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.
