ROM Hack Maple Story: Unmei no Shoujo 3DS Translation

[Manki]

Hello everyone, I felt like translating a 3ds game, so I decided to start with maple story 3ds. There are two versions. The Korean shown in the trailer bellow and the Japanese, the one im currently translating. The game uses ctpk format for the graphics, so by using the cptk tool I edited some of them into english. To anyone who would like to help, feel free to pm me.

Only have a partial menu patch. But if I had a number, I would like to say im 15% done, with the menu. 1% done with the entire game.

Oh, thanks for volunteering! And sure, as long as it's not against the rules or anything, is it?
I'm saving the graphics in psd files, so that anyone can edit the text on top of it if they like, resulting in making improvements, or maybe, other translation of different languages easier down the road.

It looks good but...
WHY did you use Comic Sans font of all things?
It's a horrible font that can't be taken seriously in most contexts. It's main use nowadays is to help mentally disabled people learn how to read, and making doge/bad cover memes.
If you want a curvy font, there's the Delfino font (Super Mario Sunshine) or you could rip the Tomba font, which certainly would satisfy you more than this one (it's the worst one, and that's not even a subjective opinion but a fact - even said font creator agrees).

Aside from that and the odd "Quit" button spacing, it's well done. (outline shading of "New Game" is amazing: clear and non-intrusive)
Could use some more black outlines around letters to help readability.

[liomajor]

To extract ROMFS.BIN > ctrtool --romfsdir=romfs romfs.bin

I've messed a little bit around with the game, as always, japanese > english = not much space for translations

Sample from what i did:

[anhminh]

Are you guy still working on this?

 

[Manki]

Are you guy still working on this?

Yeah, just working on the graphics first though.

 

[DJPlayer]

I just checked the game and I laughed.
It seems that we're able to translate the game very easily.
Texts etc are as plaintext etc (gmm-files).
Will look into this later AFTER we finished Assassination Classroom.
Here's a example gmm-file: http://puu.sh/imyEH/ac9c2d7229.txt

 

[anhminh]

So how did the project go?
It seem so quite here, how about update the process once in a while?

 

[anhminh]

Can someone confirm if this dead yet?
