| Translation Description |
This is an EN translation of the story text (win quotes and endings) for the arcade version of Taito's Shenmo fiction-inspired VS puzzle game "Land Maker"
Outside of Japan, the story text was replaced with simple result graphics (e.g. "you win"). The PlayStation ports (under the name "Builder's Block" in the U.S.) included a partial localization, with most win messages removed, and problems from typos to bizarre translation to what seems to be losing the original font, along with generally being too space-limited to preserve the feeling of the original text.
This translation, 25 years later, attempts to capture the essence and personality of the world and its characters. For a somewhat obscure puzzle game with so little official material available in the first place, conveying it true to its spirit is an important goal, and to this end special attention was given to a customized and re-kerned 14px version of the font, allowing space for the more faithful translation.
Requires an up-to-date version of MAME (≥ 0.253) or FBNeo (newer than 6 April 2023) for relevant emulation fixes.
known/available in at least fbneo as "landmakrhe"
