[Shinen Resist] Service end, thoughts, plans
Hi everyone, it's been a while. Fair warning, this post will be pretty long and will probably contain emotional sappy shit.
So. News hit this morning for me: Ensto will end service on April 26. It was kinda surreal to tweet about. I expected it but at the same time I always hoped it'd happen the latest possible. In the end, the game will end service before it turns a year old.
It's kind of the first time it happens for me. I mean... seeing a game I deeply love ending service. But this isn't about me. I'm sure a lot of people feel sad about the news too. It's just that Shinen Resist is kind of the first game I got so into I ended up loving all the characters in it, if it makes any sense. So I'll definitely miss the game.
Anyway! I didn't start this post just to mope so here's what I'm planning to do during March and April with the Twitter I'm running and my own projects.
1. Continue updating the Twitter until the end: Alright, this is one of those "wow thanks we would have never known" points but I felt like it still had to be said. If any 'final event' of some sort is ever announced, I'll be on the lookout and deliver the updates.
2. Record the game's main story: This is more for archive purposes than anything, but I plan to record the game's main story. Even if a partial offline version of the game is planned, who knows how long it'll last. So to be sure each seiyuu's amazing work remains, I'll record everything. If possible, I will upload it on YouTube as unlisted. I'll give a link to a playlist once everything is done.
3. Continue translating the game stories: I had to take a very long hiatus from translations for a while, but I'll be back on the groove at my own pace. I hope I'll be able to post new translations very soon! Plus, I have logs of all events so it'd be a shame not to keep translating.
4. After service has ended, dedicate the Twitter to manga and translation updates: Even if the game ends service, the manga won't stop being published. As such, whenever the manga updates I'll be here to report it, that's the least I can do! And of course, whenever something is translated I'll post it.
5. Eventually, translate Shinen Resist CURE: I've always had some plans to translate the manga, and I feel like it would be the natural continuation after game content is done being translated. If it happens, you'll see me posting about it.
So yeah, since a bunch of things are planned, there's no way I'll mope. To end this post, I'll just thank everyone for supporting Shinen Resist thus far!
