I'm Mel! Just a nerd who can't sit on a chair correctly but shrimp gremlins her way through work anyway. 🤓

My day job's in immigration, but I've been wiggling my way into applying my writing/editing skills in games. I was a loc editor for the Switch version of Tokyo Xanadu eX+! Hoping for more! 💫

I worked on the fan TL on this waaaay back in 2020, and our script was used as a basis for the official release! it's super exciting to see this out 🥹

Go support Falcom & refint for the hard work they put into this--game's super fun and their EN loc and dub are exceptional!

Many moons ago, in the nascent stage of my career, I did a small amount of scenario editing for what would become the Geofront's fan localization of Ys vs. Trails in the Sky. Now that project has finally coalesced into an official, sanctioned release. I'm grateful to be credited alongside this team.

Not dead or abandoned! Just debugging hell still while balancing IRL obligations. Things are still moving along. We were just talking about some remaining issues with the skits earlier today, in fact lol.

I even made sure not to make fun of Gilbert. I wanted to highlight even his strengths!!

despite the fact that he is the living emodiment of a cockroach (I can say this now)

In all seriousness, I did a lot of research on the non-Trails characters featured in the game for this. Ys, Zwei, Brandish, Gagharv... Never played them, but now I want to! My goal was to make each character shine like the sun (not just Estelle :p) and garner interest, so I hope I did them justice 🙏

Hello! I worked on the achievement icons for @refint.games's Ys vs. Trails :)

The format is a lil' different from Studio Pom's, since I wasn't provided a contact until the tail end of the process, but I think they ended up reading pretty well on Steam. hope y'all enjoy regardless!

Five (FIVE?!) years ago, a couple of friends asked me to help beta test Ys. vs Trails in the Sky - never did I think it would lead to getting to see my name in the credits roll, or that it would end up bringing other opportunities.

Grateful to be here, however limited my work actually was!

Happy Ys vs. Trails launch day! I had the honor of authoring the digital art book that comes with the Limited Edition version of this Falcom fighting game!

Thank you, @refint.games for the opportunity! I poured my heart into it!

FGC friends: SEE ME. Yes, it has rollback netcode. ;)
