English Translation v1.1


EDIT: This patch is now outdated. Please refer to the v2.0 release post.

This is a complete translation of Village of Nightmare. The full English-localized game is included in the download. This game requires that you have the RPG Maker XP RTP installed to play it (make sure you download the XP version, not the VX version). However, it should no longer require that you have your computer set to Japanese locale.

Due to the game's obtuse interface, I highly recommend you use a walkthrough unless you like aimless, boring wandering to click on everybody you can think of to try and advance the story. I've posted such a walkthrough over here and I've tried to keep it fairly spoiler-free, but it does still contain some.

If you've played either the v0.3 or v0.6 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 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.

If during play you run across any errors, text or programming, please go ahead and post about them and I'll see if I can't try and fix them. The format of the game does not allow me to spell check my work easily, and it leaves things quite open to mistakes.

Finally, to all the people who have already helped with spotting errors in the text, of special note being KMZ who gave me a hefty word document full of them with notation for easier use... thank you. You made this project quite a bit more polished than it would have otherwise been.

EDIT: And now 1.1, which is quite a small change. Just some grammatical fixes and sorting out the errors in the recollection room.

  1. Oh awesome, thanks a lot for all your work. Do you still need people to check for grammatical errors?

    1. Most certainly. I don't doubt (and one of the later posts proves) that I've missed numerous typos or other errors. You don't need to specifically look for them, but I'd be thankful if you could post about any you happen to run across.

    cheers

  7. This game is amazing so far, massive thanks for the translation.

    However I ran into a bug. For some unknown reason, the character is constantly moving to the right as if the right arrow key is locked down permanently. Is there any way to fix this?

    Can't progress in the game as its impossible to go left at all.

    1. Where does it happen, right at the start of the game? During a specific scene?

      Mmm... honestly, barring a few scenes, I can't really think of any programming in the entire game that would cause you to move in any direction without input. Have you checked your keyboard for stuck keys, or have problems in other games that use the directional pad?

      Delete
    2. I checked around a bit after this and discovered it might be a common error with the RPG Maker engine. Assuming you tried restarting the game and it didn't solve the problem, please try uninstalling, and re-installing the RPG Maker XP RTP. I haven't experienced the issue before, but that's supposedly what fixes it.

    3. It happened as I was walking towards the blacksmith character. I entered the house and was a few squares away from the blacksmith when suddenly the right arrow key just locked up. This happened only within the this game afaik.

      I tried starting a new game, even reinstalling the game, but it kept at it. It only locked the right arrow ingame, otherwise elsewhere the keyboard was completely ok.

      Finally I managed to get it back to normal with a computer restart. A bit overkill procedure, so I'll try the RPG maker reinstall next time.


      Btw this game keeps getting better by the minute you play it. Once again big thanks for this translation, I'm a sucker for good corruption/TF. : )

    4. i'v had the problem myself ended up restarting my computer for something else the keys where working after the restart(though for me the key that got stuck was the up arrow)

    (page of Akunosou Chief's dialogue"
    "To have went along with the Chief's perverted
    interests like long must mean you have an
    interest in them as well!"

    "There might a chance of additional characters being
    added in patches. Maybe even some lower profile
    characters getting sex scenes!?"

    Probably not related to the translation but Souffle 2 doesn't point to any scene and

    watching Souffle 1 leaves portraits of Mea and Souffle on screen. So bugged.

    1. Thank you for the corrections! I'll also see about looking at the recollection room to see where I screwed it up.

    1. Are you using the save function in the menu, or talking to Souffle at the inn? The former won't work after the prologue. You need to talk to Souffle or use specific save points to save your data.

  10. Im having a bit of trouble with downloading the RPG MAKER when ever I try to open the game it wont work it comes up with an error

    1. What is the error exactly? It's hard to help without knowing what's going on. Are you having problems decompressing the VON game, or the RPG Maker XP RTP?

      Delete
  11. Oh holy sh*t. This is like fifty times better than what I expected. Funnily, theres great soundtrack in this pron game, the sex scenes one specifically.

  12. Woa! I loved the game!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to translate it!

    ReplyDelete
  13. First off, let me just say that this is a great game!
    Although I came across a bug, don't know if anyone else is having the same problems. I collected all 7 Dragon Balls, err...I mean Demon Shards and had it repaired. It never showed up in my inventory nor could I break the barrier stones.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. it's not an item that you have in your inventory, just like the shield to stop "a certain someone" wasn't.

      The barrier stones can only be broken at night time, so you'll not be seen, that's all.

  14. How do I reuse my 0.71 saves? I started with 0.71 and never played anything earlier.

    I can load the 0.71 saves but I the newly translated content isn't working. (for exmaple, the writer, stone, is still a bunch of empty dialog boxes with no dialog at all and the occasional sol-key icon just as it was with 0.71)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Replying to my own post here...
      You need to extract this with 7zip.
      Using winrar to extract it causes it to bungle up the file names of the japanese files.

      Delete
    2. That's... odd. The only thing I can possibly think of that would make that happen is that you're overwriting the Data folder with the old 0.71 stuff too? The save files you have shouldn't alter the text in the game otherwise.

      Also, winrar screwing up the Japanese files shouldn't matter anymore, because only the Japanese readme still has kanji or kana in it, and that doesn't effect anything in the game.

  16. Used 7zip to extract, when I try to run it, it gives me an error saying 'RGSS102E.dll could not be found.' and closes. Any clues how to fix this?

    1. As stated in the first paragraph, RPG Maker XP RTP need to be downloaded and installed. RGSS102E.dll errors usually occur when you do not have the right RTP installed.

  17. So I'm at the part of the game where you need to deliver the shield to father Moscow, but I am one conversation away from being 'turned' by him. I can't talk to him about the shield, or else it will give me a game over. Your walkthrough mentions being able to go to Mother Mural instead? I don't think i've encountered that yet, and I'm essentially stuck right now. Don't really want to have to start the game again.

    1. Have you tried talking to him anyways? im pretty sure the shield event has a higher priority over the game over chat. also Mother Mural is the transformed form of Father Moscow

      Try downloading that and following the instructions I left in the readme. I went through to that section of the game again and experimented with some stuff on the data, and then verified that it worked. Lemme know.

    3. KMZ, I did multiple times. Didn't work. I'll try that download, rabid.

    4. It worked! Thanks.

  18. hello, sorry if this question has been asked, but when i run the game, there is no text at all, what is the reason for this?

    ReplyDelete
  19. For a game about corruption and featuring succubi, it's surprisingly light hearted and not very mean-spirited. That was a pleasant surprise for me.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Anyone know how to fix bug: RGSS player has stopped working??

  21. Hey, thanks for all your work on VoN, it really helped many with... important research.
    If by any chance you're still around and are bored, there's a nice game that came out recently and I've been wondering if you could translate it as well if you like it enough. Here are the links, hope you'll bless us with yet another great translation.

  22. ^ The game is called Vitamin Quest.

    Come visit us on the forums. There are some previews of the game there and a discussion too.

  23. Hello, first of all let me say that this seems like an awesome game. I simply just can't seem to load it though. I have downloaded the RPG MAKER RTP and it is on my computer but then when I tried to load the Village of Nightmare it simply wouldn't work. I have tried for nearly two months now and I know it is probably some stupid error on my part. Could you possibly tell me what I am doing wrong? Admittedly, I have never done a game download like this so that could be why I am not doing it right.

  24. Is there any way to get the game to play at fullscreen? It's rather irritating having such a tiny window...
