Christian Rosenkreuz was the founder of the Order of the Rose Cross. Some people are unsure whether Rosenkreuz was his real name or merely an alias. If you don't think seventeenth century religions are boring, it's an interesting topic to look into.<br /><br />"Rosenkreuzstilette" has three purposes in the game:<br />1) The name of the game and the final stage.<br />2) The name of an Imperial military unit.<br />3) A special name tied to Rosenkreuz himself (I will not say any more on that note since it constitutes a spoiler).<br /><br />Since this is relevant:<br />- http://www.miraigamer.net/rks/Intro.png<br />- http://www.miraigamer.net/rks/RKS.png<br /><br />I get the feeling PreddY is going to call me a cocktease any minute now...<br /><br />Letty, I don't think it's 100% accurate to say that Rosenkreuz started RKS. It was created by the Empire, likely after they had taken Rosenkreuz's life. I get the impression that he was bargaining for coexistence, but the Empire tricked him into agreeing to what essentially boils down to slavery. I don't think the group that Rosenkreuz was the leader of initially was RKS.TDOMMXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699910152220873795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-17410909650463688372009-05-18T22:10:00.000-04:002009-05-18T22:10:00.000-04:00Rosenkreuz is the magi that sacrifices himself in ...Rosenkreuz is the magi that sacrifices himself in the opening demo prologue stuff.

While I would like to, the fact that the executable uses Unicode instead of Shift-JIS (coupled with the file having no decipherable pointer tables) means that I would be forced to use Breath-of-Fire-style descriptions with plenty of abbreviations. By my standards, this is unacceptable.<br /><br />Don't worry, though. Once the demo is out and we prove to [erka:es] that we're serious, we can either provide them with the translations and ask them to compile an English version for us, or ask for the utility's source code and do it ourselves.TDOMMXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699910152220873795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-64556876875066476402009-05-18T12:53:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:53:00.000-04:00Dude, you did *not* just get jizz all over my new ...Dude, you did *not* just get jizz all over my new suit, did you?

Because we wanted to avoid the association with stiletto heels, Letty and I decided to use "Blades" instead. I hate this example, but it's kind of like referring to flowers of the mustard plant as "rape blossoms". It's technically correct, but not at all the image you'd want an edible to be associated it with. Also, the name has another meaning that is only revealed in the final stage, making "Blades" the ideal translation.<br /><br />Don't worry, Anonymous - this isn't a De-German project. I made a point of preserving every instance of German in the game. Even better, with four German translators on our staff, we fixed a few typos that [erka:es] let slip in. If I was able to seamlessly fit an English translation into the graphic, I did exactly that. Don't take my word for it, though.

Then again, quite a few people tell me that I can't take a joke and yet are completely oblivious to the fact that my reply was a joke, too.<br /><br />Anyway, I've never come across any RKS hentai, and I would rather that I never do. I was just poking fun at the fact that we seem to have found an exception to Rule 34 of the internet (and lampooning the fact that so many artists like drawing their own characters in sexual situations). You may not know since we only exchange comments here, but I have a sardonic sense of humor and end up sounding serious even when I think it's obvious I'm joking. I've lost track of how many times I've annoyed Letty with that...<br /><br />Interesting idea, Justin. Concept art aside, I'm a little hesitant to peruse fanworks that feature self-insertion; I doubt anyone would be pleased to see me as a character in RKS (or any other game, for that matter). Other than that, though, I'd enjoy seeing what you manage to come up with - assuming that you plan on taking this any further than the drawing board (pardon the pun).TDOMMXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699910152220873795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233445061965139570.post-6309299511726102632009-05-17T11:55:00.000-04:002009-05-17T11:55:00.000-04:00reads nicely Justin!
