Posted: 14th September 2012 by Diamond Sutra in General, TranslationHi all! If you’ve been around here for a while you may have seen my update a few weeks back regarding meeting up with him to organize some final changes (HERE).

Book Details, Go-Live, and Kickstarter Woes!
Posted: 6th August 2012 by Diamond Sutra in General, Rules, TranslationI am likely going to regret setting a =gasp= date on the release of something related to Tenra Bansho, being (ahem) 7 years into a “2-year” project.

Anyway, I was sick yesterday; took the opportunity to push further in the Last Major Editing Run for Tenra Bansho. Got through [...]
Holy Crap, When it Rains it Pours!
Posted: 11th February 2012 by Diamond Sutra in General, TranslationMajor milestone hit tonight. Luke Crane is an indomitable weapon of layout and design. More on the specifics later. For now, I’m about to embark on the final, nightmarish editing run. As this proceeds and I come up for little gasps of air between editing and work, I’m finding some time here and there to put together [...]
