Thhhhhaaaaaaaannnnnkkkkk yooooouuuuuuu
We're here!

Thank you everyone for your patience and encouragement while I was working on this! It has been a very long year of grinding away at this!
This is certainly my biggest project to date, and I still feel like it might show in some spots though ahaha...
Regardless, I'm excited to release yet another TL for this game engine and my first for this dev!

This is all of the game files on their own, so you can just unpack and play! There is LESS of a requirement for Sys Locale/Emulator for this as I basically stripped ALL the JP characters. Other than the names of the music tracks, because, admittedly that just seemed like a bit of a headache and I'm being lazy there. However, the down arrow is also a JP character, so it may be funny without those things! As always, feel free to try, and if it works for you, great!
My recommendation would still be to have it, but, I can't force you.

As with Kemomimi, please post any issues you find! This one is a lot bigger than that though, so you'll have to be EXCEPTIONALLY specific about where you find issues! Screenshots and names of regions you find it in will be a must!
Otherwise, I welcome suggestions, or little quibbles that you find with formatting/text, etc. This will be my dry run before tossing it up on the wider net, so I'd appreciate any notes!
Especially since while I tried my best with playtesting, it is a large game, and I'm certain I missed something somewhere...

If you are curious about world lore, there is a document in the game's directory that is written up alongside the in-game version. You don't ENTIRELY have to get to that point to read it, but I'd recommend it, as it's rather spoiler-y and this game is actually written quite deeply.

There are also some areas, like the H scene gallery, that are also just super fucky because of text limiting. I did my best in that spot!

Also, if any brave artist wants to step up in giving these sprites some more detail compared to how heavily censored they are...
See here for bmps
I'd happily credit you alongside the public release!


But less yap, more fap!
Just extract the game and run as is!

There's some missed text in Hilt City, the second village of the game. If you go to Rena: Skill Adjustment, all skills and the sub menu when selecting them is still in Japanese. Talk dialogue before getting into the skill menu is fine, and all the other shops/dialogues with the people in the village seem fine.
As an aside, there's still the Japanese under the characters in the villages, which I'm assuming is intentional, and your spelling of 'raid' as 'rade' was a bit odd, though after looking it up still appears correct.
Other than that, haven't noticed any other glaring issues yet, but I'm not that far in. Thanks for making this translation, I've been impressed with what I've already seen in this, and was very happy playing the other games you've translated as well.

Edit: I've already noticed another bit of missed text just after leaving Hilt City if you drop down and go to the collapsed tunnel, but I'm going to hold off posting until I'm done playing this session or another so I don't keep making micro posts. That post will then probably get updated as I find things, but it'll hopefully be a lot more organized and useful. No promises the found issues will be in order they'd be found in game progression, as I'm intending to 100% the game, but I'm going to try and format it so it'll be more or less easy to look through.

Lol what can I say, I excel at bucking expectations!
A cute doggo for sure, though! I'll accept this show-up for purely his sake haha.
And while I would send a picture of my cat, she's rather camera shy! And as one who truly gets that feeling, I shan't put her through such suffering! (A convenient excuse lol)

GAME UPDATE!
(Sorry for the double post lol)

Please download and unpack this update into the base folder of your game! E.g.: Drag+drop it into the same path as the exe and "Extract here". You should wind up replacing 21 files, if not, you did something wrong.

This has a couple of fixes:
-Fixes every city's Skill menu to actually be translated
-Removes JP characters in Akasha menu in every city
-Fixes the lower area text immediately after leaving Hilt City
-Fixes the text for entering areas on the map

Firstly, for anyone going through this, there's going to be some level of spoilers in this, especially in the spoilers (obviously). Read at your own discretion.

Here's your second round of things I've found, PRIOR to this update. Hopefully this is formatted well enough to be easy to use, but if there is a different way you want me to put this together, just let me know. Apologies if further posts end up with duplicate issues, as I'm making a doc tracking what I found and then altering it for here, so I might up double posting later on, especially with images which are being referenced multiple times. I'm also not playing constantly, so my progress is pretty damn slow, but I'm trying to be fairly methodical so I can catch things. Also, if there are any issues to be found in sex scenes or whatever, I'm not going to catch them anytime soon, as I always make my first playthrough be completely pure in these kinds of games, doubly so when it affects the ending. Hopefully someone that's hornier than me will step up and take the time to assist there.

If you have a specific timeframe you're trying to get the full pass through for the translation done by, let me know and I'll see if I can swing it to get through everything by then, but no promises, as I'm pretty shit at staying on top of things, which is why I don't already have more for you.

I dunno if you care about the bugs I've come across, but I've added them in just in case, but if this isn't something you are interested in dealing with, then I won't post them in the future if there's no need.

Current progress through the game is just post Aia Village destruction

-heccin brevity-
Thanks very much for your detailed notes and finds!
Whichever way that works for you for documenting them is fine with me, if I'm ever uncertain I can just ping you about it later hahah. Don't worry about duplicates or anything like that! You're being incredibly generous with this help, and I won't bite your head off if you note something twice accidentally lol.
However, please do feel free to play it for enjoyment first and just take casual notes! There's no pressure on my end on me trying to send it out at all! I just like to be sure it's as spick and span as can be before throwing it out there where it will be harder to update. So feel free to enjoy it first and then you can come back for any issues hahah.
But I do deeply appreciate your willingness to give me an outsider's perspective so I can improve it! As I'm sure you've noticed, it's a rather critical thing to have!
I'll be taking action on these and pushing out another update asap, as that downed state text is another dumb oversight of mine. Getting too used to something really leaves one blind to such simple things hahah.
(Also, perhaps inline spoiler the Aia village bit)

These bugs are an interesting beast however. Nothing implicitly I've done would alter game logic like that as a whole, so I believe that's something present in the OG. I CAN'T promise I'll be able to fix these at all, but I'll keep these earmarked to investigate. I did actually notice that 2nd bug you mentioned, and it's present even in the OG I have. What's causing it is absolutely up in the air to me, as most of the engine is still in JP lol.

GAME UPDATE 2: Electric Boogaloo!

Please download and unpack this update into the base folder of your game! E.g.: Drag+drop it into the same path as the exe and "Extract here". You should wind up replacing 25 files, if not, you did something wrong.
This is a combination of the newest changes, and the older update, for those who haven't downloaded the first one prior.

This addresses:
-A typo in a cutscene in Aia village
-Downed state text not being translated
-Untranslated text in Csejete Marsh

These are pretty simple so no super crazy long notes about it this time lol.

~~~

Glad to hear it worked well! Hopefully you enjoyed it! I'll keep an eye out for your notes and fix anything I might have missed!

Also there's some stuff I'm kind of curious about this since I did already finish most of the stuff

- In the original game all the scenes you trigger by losing in a dungeon show off correctly, because there was some of them that when I lose in purpose trigger old ones and not the new (I could still watch them in the gallery)

- There's a Lore Book that you unlock after a certain amount of Akashas, monsters was translated, but the Lore thingy wasn't

- Some minor things were not translated, but not like it was an issue for the experience, so I only remember some silly stuff like a poster and stuff like that (Not like it matters lol)

Actually thank you really for the translation, I did always like the game and even completed it without a translation back in the day, but knowing what the game is about is perfect :3 I'm a big fan of Touhou Marupon works

I'm not sure I follow on the first one, are you saying that losing in certain dungeons doesn't show the correct h scene? Or that something else happened? Can you give an example?

For the second one, that is translated in the attached document I mentioned in my first post. There is too much text for me to actually be able to translate well with those screens. So I decided it was best to just translate it that way and you can follow along with the document while looking at the game lore book for a translation.

For the third, if you recall them, do let me know. I'm interested in anything that hasn't already been brought up so I can address it!

They're quite the interesting dev, they write a LOT of lore for an h game dev. It's quite fascinating. But happy to help you get to understand it!

Well for example in Bergrisi ruins you normally get the wolf - Kobold scene, but then you go to Yuluyulara and still get that same one instead of the respective scene for that dungeon, same for Dyrabow

And I'm not completely sure about this one, but when you lose in the Royal Castle you get the preg scene, but then when you lose with the boss you get that same scene too instead of the bad ending (I think it wasn't intentended to work like that since there's other scene for a bad ending)

I have certain memories that even in the original game there was some additional scenes that you don't see in the gallery, for example there was one in the desert with one of the things that trap you, but I didn't check tbh haha...

For the other points, It's fine, and I'll tell you if I come up with something else :b

I found the place where I got it from but that was long dead.
Then I did some searches that took AGES but I finally found the file.

You put the story06.dat file in Devils Were Tempted by Anima ENG\user_data\story

*edit*

Incidentally is the script available in text files or anything? I was just wondering.

*edit #2*

Just for anyone searching for these keywords like I was:

Save file
