Had fun with him in 4, looking forward to him taking center stage in 5

Hi folks,

I'm working on a fan translation analysis project and was hoping to get some feedback on the design before I hire a professional translator. The project involves comparing three existing English adaptations of a Japanese game script alongside the original Japanese.

I'm not looking for translation help at this stage. Instead, I'm looking for advice on questions like:

• Are there examples of well-designed translation/comparison spreadsheets I could study for inspiration?
• Are there some standard conventions translators tend to use when organizing this kind of work?
• Is there anything about the current layout that looks like it would make a translator's job harder than it needs to be?
• Are there useful columns, annotations, formatting conventions, or quality-of-life features that are commonly included in professional or academic translation workflows?

My goal is to make the document as clear and efficient as possible for the translator while also keeping it useful for later comparison and analysis, and then viewing by laypeople.

Any suggestions, examples, or general feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Big reason why the game hit so good for me

For Maytroid day 30, I decided I would mockup case art for a Super Metroid remake. As a remake it adapts the original game with a slight expansion to story, along with new features and gameplay.

Originally I just thought it'd be a fun challenge to put Sylux in the picture as a quick meme. When I saw the adaptation prompt and meme bonus for Maytroid though, I knew I had to go hard. With my limited tools, I tried to not just insert a screenshot of him, but draw over most of it to better fit the original image.

I'm a total amateur that learns as I go, and I did this all on my phone with a stylus. So it didn't have to take about 12 hours in total, but it did. I also had some family stuff come up and that probably padded the time on my app.

And because meme was the bonus, I figured Nintendo's modern format of re-releasing titles as "Blank X Blah" would be fun to play off of. I've included a non-meme version as well, just because I'm a major Sylux stan.

Happy Maytroid!

I'm working on a project that requires a high-quality image of Beyond's Switch 2 case, specifically the back.

All I've been able to find is this low-res copy from Mobygames. Anybody have a lead?
