Hi, I am a honyaku list lurker that lives in Washington State. Fascinated by your name on your post a few minutes ago, I Googled your name and found this site. Based on your comments on the Honyaku list, I was amused that you list games and manga as one of your main areas. I guess you were more qualified to comment than I realized!
Hi Loren, thanks for dropping by!
I guess I am a little more qualified than I’m letting on, aren’t I? 😀 I’ve since diversified a bit, but I started out working almost exclusively on manga and mobile games. The rates were abysmal, but the work was plentiful and the agencies didn’t seem to mind my lack of experience as long as I could deliver. That’s why I get suspect degrees have nothing to do with getting gaming project, but of course I can only speak for myself.
