I've started a GitHub which has build instructions and some useful tools I gratuitously stole from Xorgroth and some of the Girl Life team.Thanks for pointing out the bugs and adding the command console, I’ll be adding them to my version of the qsp file.
This seems like it might turn into a small community project, and since you’ve had experience with working on community projects how did you and the other contributors of jack-o-nine-tails handle maintaining version parity?

You can submit changes on there if you are familiar with Git and I'll merge them in.
It's worth noting that we're going to have to do a lot of work to get this QSP into a state that it can even be worked on. Developers will understand what I mean if you've worked on other people's codebase, but we're not even ready to work on the translation yet, we're setting up workflows and toolchains and the easiest way to do this is to edit some of the game code to fit with parsing standards which includes about 15 locations or so that contain invalid characters. The next update (46.6) is going to require new saves tbh and it will almost be English version 0.1. Not in terms of a proper translation, but in the terms that we now have at least two active people with long term QSP experience working on the project and we're starting to look like we might be able to get this into a more useable state for players than it currently is (due to my poor translation, the game is excellent in Chinese). We'll have to see how much enthusiasm we can slam against this. I'm concerned that the dev is starting to add DRM into the game (which will not be in the translated version) in order to try and get people to pay for cheats or guides. I'm not sure about the Chinese marketplace but that sort of stuff doesn't really work in English speaking communities and revenue comes from spreading the game as wide as possible and trying to please as many players as you can in order to garner support rather than withholding content. It could become difficult in future patches, depending on which road they decide to travel.
