A little bit from Radio Allergy translations... :)

Hey folks!

Some of you may know, but I have an english copy of Radio Allergy for the Gamecube, the unreleased shmup that O3 was to localize for North America. I've had a little time to get the tools together that I needed to look into the disc and pull some textures out, so I figured I'd share a few here with you.

This one is the brief title phrases or quotes that appear at the bottom of the screen.

Here is an example of some in-game e-mail (this one happens to be spam). There are hundreds of e-mails, maybe one day I'll go through and convert them all from .tpl textures to jpegs, but for now there is just one.

And also there are tilesheets for all those little pickups in the game, which I found amusing

one for each level, here is level 1:

Interesting to note too, that all of the textures are saved sideways. Meaning the game was not only designed for tate mode, it was developed in it

Cheers,
- Don

Wow did you do anything to those images? If not they are really amateur quality with all the sloppy shading and blocky contours.

I was really looking forward to another title though.

Nope, I didn't do anything to those images. However when they appear on screen they look perfectly fine.. even in progressive scan the Gamecube blurs them enough to appear much smoother. Some of the text is hard to read in the title phrases because of this though.

"Does love have a fishy smell?"

This could have been a gold mine of unforgettable phrases. So since you seem to be somewhat of a good source, Wii release? Wii would like to play.

Also I challange you to a lightgun duel classic gray vs orange.

I can confirm that love does indeed have a fishy smell

thanks for this. I always wondered what I was missing when i shut off the messages in the game. This game deserves a north american release pretty badly.

So you have an English copy - like a de-bug/preview build? And those quotes from the game aren't Babel Translations, but how they actually appear in the English game? Quite odd and really interesting.

Still - the gameplay in Radirgy/Radilgy/Radio Allergy was a bit of a dissapointment...

the build I have for the game is a release candidate. Its as close to final as you'd get. The quotes from the game were translated by actual people at O3, not by a computer. Some of them look a little off, but you can tell on the whole its human translation.

O3 was throwing around the idea of a Wii compilation disc. I should let you all know that when I last spoke to O3 about the game, they were considering other options. They didn't want the work they had put into the localization to be forgotten. Lets hope it isn't. I have no idea what sort of time-line they'd be looking at, so don't hold your breath. But don't give up all hope either.

Turning the messages off can kill your multiplier (especially after sub-bosses). Leave it on.

Really? Well spotted.

I'll keep them on from now...

Aww. :3 That's almost inspirational.

I will get this game if it comes out on Wii. If it comes on a pack with Karous it'll be even better

yeah, milestone's stuff pretty much always looks crappy when you extract the files from the game disc. but when you see it on a tv it looks normal.
