EDIT: v0.71 now available. Fixes some problems with a few image files with Kukuru, Theresia and the cow girl.

I wasn't planning on doing another release until the entire translation was done, but due to the sudden influx of comments on having trouble just getting the game to play, I decided to halt my lagging translation efforts momentarily and just focus on localizing the game. I recently finished those efforts, so here you are.

Besides the localized image files, there are some other minor fixes, and a handful of lines newly translated, but beyond that, this is the same as v0.6. In other words, pretty much everything is translated at this point except the novelist (Stone), the guard captain (Erdin), the Exorcist and the final corruptions, and a couple miscellaneous scenes such Slayer and Metallica's date, as well as the developer's room.

If you've played one of the previous releases and want to continue from your saves, you're going to need to move 宿屋の娘04(眼鏡なし).png and/or 宿屋の娘02.png from your the previous release to the new release's graphics/pictures folder temporarily, as the previous saves will want to look for those files before it registers the new programming. Once you save again on those files, the Japanese image files shouldn't be necessary anymore.

And on an important (for me) somewhat reiterated side note, if you spot any problems such as grammatical errors, sudden bits of untranslated text in sections that should be translated, or bits of dialogue that don't flow particularly well, I'd be happy if you could post about them so I could attempt to fix them. (To be more concise: please tell me what's wrong, and where you encountered the problem.) The format of the game does not allow me to spell check, so I can only do it manually, which generally is hit or miss.

There are a couple things to note about this translation, and if you're curious or are having problems playing, you might want to take a look.


1) On the matter of installation, there's now only one thing you should be aware of: You need RPG Maker XP RTP installed to play this game no matter what. (Google it and you should be able to find a download, and any fixes to problems with the dlls involved with it.) If you encounter a problem with the game not finding an image file and then crashing, please post where you encountered the issue.

2) Due to me not being able to find a Japanese copy of RPG Maker XP to fiddle with, I went with the English demo, (and now a full English version) which doesn't like Japanese text that much. Thus, all the untranslated text was reduced to just a bunch of squares (or is entirely blank) when playing. If you want to continue playing with the Japanese text, you can download the original version and move your save files over. They should work fine.

3) On the game itself, it should be noted that the interface is extremely obtuse at times. It'd be a good idea to use a walkthrough, or you're going to face a lot of aimless, boring wandering. I've posted a still incomplete walkthrough (although it goes as far the current translation), and this guy has most stuff right too, albeit with a few spots being kind of off. (You need to talk to Chris to continue Brigitte's corruption when the time comes, and Slayer/Daiya's second scene with Metallica won't pop up until after she's done.) Either can work, however.

4) Also related to gameplay is the squirrel section. If you have problems with the area, check the sign at the beginning and take the irritant. It will remove about 90% of the annoying, more likely to run into ones.
