Things have been very busy for our team in real-life in the past month or so. Don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;re still working away on our projects here!<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, head on over to our project website for some information on the updates. If you don&#8217;t want to do that, I&#8217;ll post a few of them here.<\/p>\n<p>First off, our website&#8217;s hit a major milestone as of March 2011 &#8211; <strong>over 500,000 visitors<\/strong>! That&#8217;s the total for the 3 years frontmission.info has been around since March 2008. Not too bad for a franchise which supposedly has a very &#8220;small presence&#8221; outside of Japan, eh?<\/p>\n<p>The other major update I have to say is that the next patch for Front Mission 2 is being tested as we speak. It&#8217;s looking sweet to see more and more of the game in English, even if we&#8217;ve ran into some programming roadblocks along the way. Editing thankfully has been finished for a while now, so it&#8217;s just a matter of trial-and-error with the programming parts. As editing lead, I&#8217;ve tried harder to make the text flow better so I&#8217;m hoping those results show with Front Mission 2!<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, I forgot! Toshiro Tsuchida&#8217;s no longer with Square Enix! He&#8217;s been officially an ex-employee since February 28, 2011&#8230;the same day that the Front Mission Mobile service officially ended. We&#8217;ve made a special tribute page to him on the website, so check that out whenever you can!<\/p>\n<p>So what does that mean for Front Mission? Well, it&#8217;s virtually assured that we won&#8217;t see any more Front Mission video games in the future. Kind of a bummer that Front Mission Evolved will be the last title in the video game line-up. On the other hand, Front Mission is still alive and well through other media! Front Mission Dog Life &amp; Dog Style 07 is coming out this June, with an eighth volume confirmed for release in 2012&#8230;and possibly more! Also, the South Korean edition of Front Mission Dog Life &amp; Dog Style 05 was recently released so that&#8217;s a sign that the brand still sells. With any luck, Front Mission might officially end by its 20-year anniversary in 2014&#8230;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_221\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-221\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/frontmission.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/FrontMission2_Nightfall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-221 \" title=\"Operation Nightfall\" src=\"http:\/\/frontmission.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/FrontMission2_Nightfall-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalgarbage.com\/frontmission\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/FrontMission2_Nightfall-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/opticalgarbage.com\/frontmission\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/FrontMission2_Nightfall.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">24, anyone?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Operation Nightfall?
