[Translation Request] NTR Mesugaki Magical Girl Flan / NTRメスガキ 魔法少女フラン [OreNoHut]
- Thread starter unevenlove0
- Start date
Nice to hear this is getting picked up.
As per the Touhouness of this game, the setting it's in has nothing to do with Touhou, but the poached characters seem to be pretty close to popular fandom interpretations, personality-wise.

Hi.
This is going to be a long project and will take some time to complete, so I figured I would give progress updates every 10% I complete of the CommonEvents, where the sex scenes are. 10% is around 2k lines of dialogue, as the game has nearly 20k total lines not including other maps, system stuff, etc.
I'm just creating a roadmap of what I'm doing for the game down below.
-I'll be translating the game fully, and I'll scour every dialogue box possible to make sure that happens.
-Once that's done I'll start looking for grammar mistakes, missed translated dialogue and text wrapping issues.
-And finally ill try my hand at translating the text on images in this game since there's graffiti sections, though this part may be cut out because of how the images work. Here's an example down below if you want to see what may need to be translated.
-I'll also be attempting to create a walkthrough of this game and will provide a full save since the one on this thread is missing a few scenes if I'm looking at the files correctly.
On a side note, does anyone know OreNoHut's opinion on fan translations? I looked for CGs of their games and found none, particularly on E-hentai, which makes me nervous.

I don't think he ever said anything, and I still found his CGs on hitomi and the like so I guess it is fine.
That's odd, I could swear I saw the CG gallery for this game on e-hentai at one point. Maybe it's been purged?
Or maybe I'm going senile, that is also possible.

Quick update because this is something I need to figure out now: photo editing is hard, but satisfying to pull off, I just wish I had more time to make it look pretty.
Currently, the problem is not with editing text onto a picture, but to blend it in with previously existing obstacles.
The first image is my current progress on a photo combining the second and third image.
If you zoom in where "Under" should be in the first image you can tell how awkward the blending is in the image, but I'm hoping it isn't too noticeable when playing the actual game.
Any idea how to make this process easier, or is this satisfactory?
Also the reason it doesn't show up on E-hentai for me is because I searched "OreNoHut," turns out the artist is labeled "Ore no Koya" over there. I did see it on hitomi.la as well so hopefully no weird problems with the developer, thank you to those who checked.

I like to try considering I can do a pretty okay job at it.
I was never the best at it, but I can do some simple edits.
Well worth the effort too since people know what words are being written on the girls' bodies.
It's just a matter of needing to spend more time on the project since I'm doing everything as a single person.

Can't help with the image editing, but I can say it's definitely satisfactory, and really more than anyone could even reasonably expect. I'd say you can keep the current quality, the original CG can always be included as a separate file for people that really want them.

Final mini-update on the photo editing, here's the completed version and the references I used.
I'll include the original CG's for those who want to compare or view the original in the final version.
Now back to translating.

The word on her right thigh (キモオタ) is "Kimoota," or "creepy otaku." I remember the machine translator having trouble with that one.
"Creepy otaku" does not really roll off the tongue like a four syllable word does. I suppose it could be localized somehow if one were so inclined, though.

Aw shit that would actually makes sense.
The game directly labels the antagonist as キモヲ(Kimowo), so I've been using that as a baseline, but he is an otaku with hobbies dealing with maids, figurines, and card games, and I believe that is an abbreviation for Kimoota after looking it up for a bit. Maybe it's one of those pun names that's meant to sound like a legitimate name and also be an abbreviation/reference to something else.
I had considered trying to localize it to a name containing Gross or Disgusting (Like Grossberg or something) but figured it would be odd for that sole English-type name to be there among other characters like Flan, Aya, Satori and Eiki.
Flan also refers to him as キモおじさま (Kimo-ojisama), which I think directly translates to (Disgusting - old man), so I've been translating Flan's insults for him through different variations of that. He's also described as a "creepy middle-aged man" before revealing his name, so he's decently old (around 45-65 according to the internet) and I ran with that.
In that specific photo I didn't really know if any of them worked so I just went with his actual name for the sake of space and making it easier on myself.
Funny enough, there is a character within the dialogue whose name is actually labeled Kimoota, but it's referenced in armor/weapons that were made for their previous title with the two knights.
If you're using Photoshop and want to make it blend in more realistically, I would recommend making a Hue/Saturation adjustment on the brighter parts, upping the brightness a bit, and using a Gaussian blur on the mask. You could also use the Curve adjustment on that section, but that's a little more finicky. I'm not sure if it's necessary considering that the original artist didn't even do that, so your call.

I actually don't own Photoshop, I'm doing all of this with Paint3D on the fly as someone with very little art skills, and unfortunately that means the tools I have are very bare-bones. I can't even bend text without having to find some other program to do that for me, which sucks.
This, for example, is how I've been trying to deal with spanking scenes because they don't have any images that have the redness without the text. I've been making do with like 3 tools (Pixel pen, eraser, paintbrush) and messing with the opacity and the blend has come out looking passable. Certainly not good under a microscope, but enough that it looks like nothing was altered.

I started off with simple edits of menus, but If I had money to spare I'd buy better tools to do things like bend text and touch up the places the artist may have spent less time on (I think there are CG's where they put the graffiti on after they drew on the cum, so it's just floating without any shading and I'd love to correct that a bit)
While I'm not familiar with how to handle the techniques/tools you listed above, it lines up with what I would want to improve when editing the images, the Gaussian blur especially. I'll see what I can do!
I tried to use GIMP and Paint.NET for a while to edit pictures, but Photoshop really is a lot better without being particularly harder to use. There are a ton of easy ways to pirate Photoshop, and I definitely recommend using GenP.
I'm now working with avervon and making picture edits for the game! Let me know if the font I used is good.

Hi, update.
As carolbubby stated above, he is working on making picture edits and I appreciate all the work he's doing.
20% of the sex scenes are done (~4000/20000 lines), and out of 3 dungeons I've finished up to the 2nd dungeon. I should say that the game is split into two parts, one where it plays out like an RPG, and the other is akin to a scene viewer.
Wanted to do a quick poll, but would people rather I keep the honorifics of this game (i.e. Onii-sama/Kimo-ojisama) or translate them completely to English variants (i.e. Darling/Gross old man)?
I currently have both versions, so either works with very little need to edit the scenes.
