Lagrange Point English translation
ラグランジュポイント
Aeon Genesis' long-running English translation of Konami's FM-sound space RPG Lagrange Point, with a rewritten text engine and longer item names.
What's translated
The whole game is in English: dialogue, menus, items and battle messages. The project began years earlier at J2E Translations and moved to Aeon Genesis around 2007; Tomato wrote the script, and it was carefully checked during editing and testing. Version 1.0 came out in October 2014 and 1.01 followed in November.
Under the hood
The game stores its text in a compressed format, so to fit the English script Aeon Genesis rewrote the dialogue engine for better compression. Pennywise helped move data around, and the menus were widened so item names can be twelve characters long instead of eight.
About the game
You lead a squad through the colonies of the Isis Cluster, swapping party members, fusing items into new gear and picking the order of some objectives yourself.
