FFO: Whats's Up Mechadoc, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6, Appare-Ranman!, ThorHighHeels and Kota HoshinoFavourite track: TAIMAN Battle   Q1: Is this the first fan translation you have worked on? A1: I've done smaller pieces of translation before, but not a massive project of this scale. This was the first "full" fan translation I'd worked on!

Most of you know Pedro Silva from their enormous contribution to modern chiptune a la everyones favourite 8bit/dreampop/VGM project Slime Girls. Pedro is an incredibly talented musician, composer, and performer from Los Angeles, California and they are responsible for this meticulously crafted 20 track OST. Guildlings is a story driven RPG episodic adventure from Sirvo Studios with an endearingly unique premise and a focus of exploration, conversation and non-traditional combat. The art style is akin to low poly 5th generation console games like Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and modern day indie contemporaries like The Flame in the Flood. The music does an excellent job of punctuating the...
