I was gonna mention you on a discussion topic for Super Mario Bros. before I happened to head to your user page and realize you had left. That's definitely sad to hear, but I respect the decision to do so and I just wanted to take the time to pay my respects, even though I'm a few months late in saying it and there's surely a solid chance you won't even read this. You've clearly contributed a lot in the years you were active, and I'll always appreciate the help you gave in passing Gex as a good article. Thanks for all the help you've brought around here– hope you're doing well, especially with these crazy times we're currently in.~~Tristan ("TheDisneyGamer") 17:19, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A strategy book for the game has been scanned.

• Yuuyami Doori Tankentai Official Strategy Guide (夕闇通り探検隊 公式攻略ガイド)

Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:52, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Harizotoh9: お知らせってありがとう。まだやりたいから役立つことになります。残念だがガイドで開発情報が見つからない。 (Thanks for the notice. It will be helpful when I play the game. Unfortunately, I can't find development info in the guide.) TarkusAB^talk/contrib 12:11, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Developer interviews or commentaries are the most useful and valuable, but the guide still has extensive information on plot, characters, setting, and gameplay. The article is a little light on sources relying on 3 sources for most of it. Also I checked and amazon only lists the one guidebook by Dengeki. The sort of background developer info would have to be contained in magazines like Dengeki PlayStation.Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:16, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For whatever reason I forgot to comment here. Welcome back, it's good to see you again. Namcokid47 ^(Contribs) 21:20, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for bothering you about this again but could you see the a bit the prose of another article I've working on? It's The King of Fighters XIV. I once nominated it to GA but it had to fail without a proper review due to the nominator being busy in real life. It was around early April so it was a complicated time with the quarentene everybody was having. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 16:40, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tintor2: I have the same thoughts on it as Judgement; I think you do a great job bringing all the necessary information into an article, but I do not think the writing quality is GA level. You'd need someone who speaks English natively, has an understanding of KOFXIV, and has experience with VG articles to do a thorough copyedit.

Hi, I'm Ias. I've been thinking that you halted progress on turning Chaos Field into GA. You can come back to that article and make it a GA again. The article has potential. -iaspostb□x+ 21:52, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@I'm Aya Syameimaru!: Thanks for your message. I agree that it's ready to be nominated, but I've been busy IRL and do not feel comfortable nominating any article for GA at this time. If you want to nominate it and shepherd it through the process, you are welcome to. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 22:02, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's lucky! I can consider it well. -iaspostb□x+ 22:06, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, now I've nominated it for GA status. This is very anticipated. -iaspostb□x+ 22:28, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm collaborating with Thibbs to interview you for the upcoming Q4 2020 issue of the WikiProject Video games newsletter. I was gonna make only Thibbs do the questions, but he wanted me to do the same, so we're both interviewing you. Is this a good idea? «=-iaspostb□x+=» 00:11, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@I'm Aya Syameimaru!: Oh, this is certainly a surprise. Yes I would be honored to do an interview. I'm OK with answering questions from both of you, as long as you're not repeating questions. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 04:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is gonna be a good interview. Thibbs' questions are traditional, whereas my questions are unusual. «=-iaspostb□x+=» 05:45, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Twilight Syndrome Complete Guide

Someone's been a busy bee and has been scanning a lot of Japanese only adventure game guide books. I think it's Chinese scanners out of places like Endless Fight but I haven't completely confirmed. There seems to be about 5-6 books scanned per month. Harizotoh9 (talk) 17:39, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Harizotoh9: Thanks for letting me know. The developer interview in that guide was actually already translated. I own the guide too, bought it maybe a year ago before the translation or that archive was published. Good to know I can let this stuff go. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 17:59, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese scanning groups operate on forums that outsiders can't join or see their download links. However, since 2018 about 5-6 books per month have been posted on raw manga sites and people like kitsunebi77 have been posting them to archive. Possibly because of this, a chinese scanner from endless Fight has been posting on archive directly under the name GamebookScanner. Harizotoh9 (talk) 16:25, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
