Strangely Compelling Media says localizing STEINS;GATE: My Darling's Embrace was both exhausting and fun

STEINS;GATE: My Darling's Embrace is a bit of a spin-off for the STEINS;GATE series, adding in a bit more silliness and romance to the universe. Strangely Compelling Media was the team who took on localization, and in an interview with Siliconera, they discuss what it was like to tackle the project.

Yeah, it was definitely a wild place to start! Steins;Gate has really well-drawn characters, though, and it was fairly easy to find their voices from a writing perspective. It was…less-easy to tackle the massive amounts of references, otaku slang, and circa 2010 netspeak, but it was great to be able to bounce ideas off of each other and try to find solutions that felt right. We were chewing over certain choices right up until script delivery, and it was just as fun as it was exhausting.
