Chap3 Arm in hand (l'arme a la main)
Page 1: Momo:(singing)You shouldn't ever worry Well i don't Believe me on this earth Just don't worry
Page2-3: Weapon in hand all:ooooh waahhhh
Page4: Taiyou:it's great we can see ourselves in it! Abe:we might sell it back. Hoshino:we'll have to make a reservation for a wii... Rodriguez:how could you even find one? Momo:someone cancelled his reservation ,probably the last one in all akiba... You see:as long as you don't give up everything becomes possible Yoda:well done besides you don't need to run errands for us anymore some helper will take care of it from now on
Page5 Taiyou:oh your last design sucks a bit less than the previous ones Momo:yes! Taiyou:this and this are good.. you can keep what i underlined,but you'll have to change the rest Momo:only 2 ideas? Taiyou:If you become discouraged so early,know that it wont get any easier but you can always give up..
Page6: Momo:No way i want to become a video games creator! That's my dearest dream! Taiyou:wow that would be one pompous title Masa:excuse me taiyou! I'd like to give it a try too
Page7: eventually i' like to (retrain?) as a game designer I should be able to come up with much better idead than those of a rookie
Page8: poster:Game design Contest Cell phones games "let's go my friends" taiyou:an internal contest? Hoshino:i'm not against the idea.. it's a good way to make them more competitive but i didn't think Masa would want to become a designer there used to have no distinctions between programmers and designers.
Page9: taiyou:besides if both their ideas are good it's all good for us hoshino:what if they both suck? taiyou:well then, i'll take matters in my own hands ..what? hoshino:the face you just made..
Page10: Masa:excuse me but that's where I park Momo:eh? oh! Sorry! Mr Masa You and I.. Lets do our best!
Page11: Masa:"you and I"?... Momo:yes!even though we're competing against eah others Masa:...
Page12: Yoda:thanks to you,the debug didnt take long.. Momo:thanks! No one can beat me as long as it's reflexes oriented games Yoda:good work i'll call you later Momo:yes sir! Yoda:Masa Come here...
Page13: here's a bug report.. it's only for your coding parts Masa: ... sorry Yoda:now isnt the time to neglect your programmer's job don't let this designing whim mess with your head Masa: understood...
Page14: Momo: i'm sorry i found the mistakes.. Masa:why would you apologize..
Page15: You're looking for troubles? Momo:no! of course not! It's just that.. since we share the same dream i felt a bit close to you..
Page16: Masa:same dream? cut the crap! I aint working to make some stupid dream come true.
Page17: hoshino:hey! i brought some cakes from oumiya for every... ....
Page18: Yoda:I apologize.. ..for masa Hoshino:no need for that the (cold) atmosphere took me by surprise that's all yoda:you know.. Masa dreamt to become a musician,thats why he quit high school and came to tokyo
Page19: he even sent a few demos withut success he must be pissed off hearing a rookie talking about dreams and hope i guess it reminds him of who he used to be.. Hoshino: it takes some time for a rookie to fit-in Yoda:he you're one to talk.. ...
Page 20: Yoda:so on which one of them are you betting? hoshino:is taht serious? yoda: yea..it takes our minds off things right now masa is 8 to 1 sure he's not a designer but his own experience will be helpful Hoshino:if you say so.. and who bet on Momo? yoda:taiyou...
Page21: hoshino:oh well he takes good care of his apprentice..
Page 22:
Page23: Momo: .... Mr MAsa I apologize about earlier but to help me go on in life
Page 24: I only have my hopes and dreams!
Page 25: Masa:why should i care?
Page 26: Momo:Sensei! The first bug serial has been corrected
The contest ended with an overwhelming victory of mr masa his level is far superior to mine
Momo:Mr masa!
Page27: your game was.. ..really fun! masa: ... momo: i apologize for being so arrogant but you know.. i'm convinced you're doing this job to fulfill a dream i understood that by playing your game!
Page 28: i understood something ican't fight merely with my dreams
Page29: hoshino: aint you going to confort her? you expected a lot from this girl didnt you? taiyou: ... no way! i was just betting on the outsider
Page30: hoshino:liar... Momo:hello Mr Masa Masa:hey.. Momo:still so cold today.. Masa:shut up hum..if we tightn our bikes.. there should be enoughspace for both of us...

Chap2 A girl and her dream
Page1: ??:that sucks I dreamt about work Broadcaster:New report about what we were discussing earlier
Page2:
Incriminated game:"Devil mania combat 3" A middle schooler stabbed by a fellow classmate A violent game responsible? Broadcaster:There have been a lot of talking around this game who contains many violent scenes ??:I didnt expect that It seems im now responsible for an aggression... Broacaster:the kid wrote in his school almanac that he wanted to become a video game designer...
Page3: Momo:Mr Masa! I made you some tea! Masa:er thanks Momo:no need for thanks! ??:she said "Mr" Masa:get over it Chigira
Page4: Momo:Good morning Mr Rodriguez (in english) Rodriguez:no need to speak english.. Masa:still why did we hire a rookie game designer? Chigira:what of our experimented graphic artist? Yuasa:We sold the rights for the internationnal version of samurai kitchen that allowed us to solve our financial issues now is the right to train new recruits Masa:that's so like you Yuasa Chiriga:always sees the bright side of thngs Yuasa:if you were married like me,you would feel the same way
Page 5: Momo:Ms tsukiyama! I made you some tea! Hoshino:Thank you But i have a meeting i have to attend to Besides its up to each employees to make their own tea Don't worry about it next time
Page 6: Momo:err right i dint know.. Abe:i'll be going then Hoshino:Yes me too. Taiyou:hey rookie You take care of this make surethe games work on all those cellphones Momo:understood! Hoshino:let's go tenkawa Taiyou:ye ye comin'
Page7: Momo:.... he? A team stem..(good omen) Hoshino:The client informed us that there was too much blood in "crac-crac-craaac" we'll have to remove it (the blood) How long will it take to replace it with another visual effect?
Yoda Atsushi (34) head programmer at G3 Yoda:Once we'll have the graphic elements,we'll need 5 minutes to insert them and an hour to test them Abe Mari(27) Head graphic artist at G3 (temporary worker) We will need1 hour once we get clearance.. Provided that the number of visual effects remains the same
Page8: Taiyou: .... Hoshino:what do you think Taiyou:err... Hoshino:it's just a small visual effect,let's get this over with Taiyou:Yea I know! Seriously.. why do we have to be affected by solidus problems..
Page9: Hoshino:stop being a brat,if it werent for solidus,you wouldnt even care Taiyou: ... Hoshino: by the way the kid who got arrested... he said he wanted to become a video game designer you're lucky Taiyou! Your dream came true before you ended up like that Taiyou:haha don't make laugh! (more like ROFL! ) Hoshino:there have been a lots of talking about violence in video games lately thus i understand why editors self-censor
Page10: Yoda:if even a bloody nose is considere violent... Hoshino:thats the way it is,big companies dont want to take chances/risks Abe:sounds well like a former employee of one of those big companies Hoshino:all of them are scared to take the blame in case things go wrong Taiyou:The same applies for solidus no? Hoshino:yes there must be quite an uproar over there those are the first affected (doesnt sounds good at all...check later)
Page11: Nanami:rules are simple:do not answer any questions Just follow the company rules All of your staff members/teams are to be informed that'll be all Tanizaki Nanami (36)Head of 16th development team at solidus works Manager of the samurai kitchen 2 project
Page 12: nanami:that's my desk. Sunsui:I was taking some notes about the ideas i told you about some afterthought... Nanami:trying to act like a zalous producer?
Page13: Sunsui:No way. Nanami:fine ill take a look later Sunsui:great! ??:sunsui is still here ???:Thats a sign the game will have success ??: As the saying goes "when sunsui is here,the mega-hit is near!" (lol) ???:besides not only is Tanizaki very able but it would seem Sunsui has his eyes upon her.. ???:i know! Kubonouchi must be quite jealous! Kubonouchi:excuse me
Page14: Kubonouchi Shinako (29)Manager's secreatary Shinako: Mr Manager it's time for the press conference Sunsui:a? already? too bad i have to leave at the best part ( dont even undertand the context..)
Page15: ???:wow.. ???:sends chills down my spine... Shinako: don't you want the speech prepared by the public relations? Sunsui:i'm sure h'll be watching today... Shinako:he?
Page16: Momo: i don' agree!
Page17: Hoshino:i understand how you feel. but our decision has already been taken
Page18: Hoshino:all violent scenes are to be removed That's what the client want! Momo:but it's just a bloody nose! Hoshino:just go back to work! Momo:But i dont understand if characters were to cut each others with butchers knives in a blood bath then fine.. but a bloody nose? a display of motherly love?
page 19: Miss you've had a bloody nose before no? Hoshino:yea so? what matters Is to make sure we're safe in case something goes wrong. I'm talking about responsabilities far beyond yours Its only because you wish to leave your stamp in this game because you're so concerned about such a small detail.
Page 20: Momo:Miss Tsukiyama did you have a dream as a little girl? Hoshino:I'm sorry? What does it have to do with our problem?
Page 21: I wrote in an essay that i wanted to become a game designer! Sure i'm going to be stubborn My game design has been almost entirely modified but the bloody nose was a part Mr Taiyou liked So i wanted it to remain! Taiyou:enough,shut up
Page22: here's not the place to to display your complexes (not sure about this word) this is your place of work Momo: ... excuse me...
Page23: Taiyou: I'll tell you what we are going to do!
Page24: Taiyou:Those people Are From Mars!
Page25 Suda: from..mars? Taiyou:then its merely bodily fluids! No problems without red blood! and to prove it :it will spurt blue! Suda:let me get this straight.. you just changed the color of the blood...
Page26: Suda: ..... (alalah ,dont know how to translate that) alright i get it I"ll try to convince our client but if he refuses we'll drop the idea Taiyou: Great thanks! Momo: Thank you very much!
Page 27: Taiyou:no need for that,i didnt do it for you Momo:i understand! Abe:it's better this way i guess Chigira:yes saves us a lot of work Rodriguez:it's great! Momo: Yes Sir! (in english)
Page28: MY childhood dream was to become a teacher Masa:Solidus conference is starting Reporter:Do you actually believe that video games have no influences on young players? Sunsui:No,at least not those on which i worked Reporter:So you admit that the incriminated game played a role in this matter? Sunsui:To see the end of a game,one needs hours,tens of hours
Page29 Sunsui:When a game occupy one's mind for so long it has to leave him something in exchange otherwise whats the point of making games?
Page30: "I wanted to become a teacher just like you" I wrote that to play up to my teacher But what i wanted to become... I had no ideas..

623::Anonymous master :2006/9/19 (Mar) 15:08:30 ID:ycoT8m9Z G3 and MMG won't take part in the sequel! why is solidus releasing it? Maybe it's because Solidus USA edited the international version of the 1st samurai kitchen?
624:Anonymous master :2006/9/19 (Mar) 16:15:59 ID:AfyaRZUK It's cause G3 and MMG sold SK1' rights to solidus.
