NiceeeeHeya guys, really sorry for the long hiatus. But I did had some irl stuff to deal with, as mentioned a few posts above.
I only started getting a bit active on f95zone again last week after I felt my life was stable enough that I can slowly ease into my hobbies again.
Honestly these past few days I was focusing solely on Tainted Aquamarine, creating more game art assets for my game. But a few days ago I played the MTL release of another AnimMM game and realized again just how atrocious MTL can be.
So that kicked me up and decided to resume work on this instead because I don't want someone else making a half-assed MTL of this too and ruin the experience.
I plan to do a 100% full translation/localization, like 0 trace of japanese characters left in the game, if that makes sense. Most of the game assets, including art and UI are editable and I already went out of my way to edit out a lot of them and translated them to English so I want to go ALL IN on this one. There's even this bit that shows MC scrolling through a japanese image board, and I completely edited that out and made it into MC browsing the f95zone Netorase thread instead, complete with english comments lol. I'm also planning to edit the OP movie and replace it with an animation with the English title and subtitles.
That being said, I don't want this to be a half-assed release as it's one of my favorite Netorase games.
But! of course, there is a limit to everything and I might just be overestimating myself and being way too optimistic. If push comes to shove and it's come to the point that Tainted Aquamarine dev time takes precedence over this, I might just release a partial translation (the doujima route is completed anyway) and then just patch out the rest with MTL (oof, unfortunately).
But this is only on worst case scenario guys so everything should still be on track, assuming I'll have enough free time the next few weeks to properly work on this.
with aqua marine on the way, i thought this project was going to be abandoned!
