ROM Hack Nanashi no Game

[Ryusui]

Just FYI? The Portopia translation was crap. I was in that topic to try and help it not suck, but my efforts went nowhere because someone decided to turn the thread into a flame war.

If you have a problem, Xkeeper, storming into a topic and throwing a tantrum is not the way to solve it. If you want some control over how a project turns out, do what I do: politely offer your services as a proofreader/script editor.

Ironically, 99% of my contribution to the project thus far has been English-language graphics rather than script editing, but the script was already good - and I have high standards. I did manage to make a fairly major contribution in the course of designing the title screen buttons, though, and I hope you get a chance to appreciate it. :3

I don't think he appreciates anything.

But I'll appreciate it double time to compensate for that.

For some reason I think this game is a little bit creepy

The chapter can't be launched from another menu ?

unlocking the access to that hidden chapter on the title screen when the player completed it.
It would need a lot of tweaks and hacks to analyze the save game on load and add a new menu, but you already did a lot with changing the text orientation, it looks like it's easier to add a menu on title screen

I guess when the patch is released I can review the quality of the translation, but I'd probably need someone to help me who is fluent in Japanese so I can review the accuracy as well... I'll figure that out when the patch gets to release.

Anyway, that font looks GREAT for the menu options. Better than some fonts for official localizations of games.

when is the demo?
or while there be a final version?

There won't be a demo. The project's gone so fast that only patches for the final version and that little extra bit will be released.

No release dates as of yet (if you read the thread), but from what I understand the patches could be released within this month or the next.

whoa, secret content? this just keeps getting better and better!

@coconut: of course it's creepy, and rightfully so, because that's how the developers wanted it, what with all the western craze about asian horror movies. IIRC, this is a throwback to that cursed tape that The Ring was built upon.

btw, to those people working on this game (ryusui, nagato, etc), is there any mention or use of the RappuOn (????) phenomena in this game? always have been interested in that phenomena, eversince a japanese friend told me about it (along with introducing me to the world of Honto ni Atta Noroi no Bideo -- seriously, it's one fucked-up scary collection. headless samurai screaming on camera, phew).

anyways, i'm currently trying out the original game, haven't gotten around to doing much yet. the glitched RPG is creepy, hehehe.

RappuOn (????) phenomena

I've heard of that but never really understood what it was.


Edit) To everyone involved in the creation of this patch, is it alright if I post the screenshots and whatever patches you release to the public in the opening post?

We've got a lot of days left this month, so it's likely.

If it were me doing the coding and all that, right now the project would be on a standstill, with me still in the process of trying to figure out how to open the files in the ROM.

 

[chaosdarkneo]

^True, but you need to know that they have a whole team ready to work.

Also, this month seems likely, but if it is pushed to next month, I'd be fine. After all, images are tricky stuff. Plus, don't you guys have any glitches whatsoever?

Also, just a last question. Do you know if this will work on most flashcarts without actually having to do anything like patching (besides the translation)?

RappuOn (????) phenomena

I've heard of that but never really understood what it was.

well, it's supposed to be something like a phantom sound. imagine hearing something like a sharp snapping wood, but you look around and there's absolutely nothing anywhere that could possibly make that sound, making it out of place. also, kinda like air imploding on itself. it's supposed to be a ghost's version of sneaking up on you, but steps on a "twig". kinda crazy when you think about, but my friend says it's seriously spooky (automatic goosebumps).


ah well, it was just something i remembered anyways. Japs seem to have a lot of spooky stuff that could be good material for games.


and yes, latest screenshots on the first post would be nice, so that people will know on first glance the work is well underway, and could easily avert a few more status queries.

 

[choconado]

hee hee, released in the next, oh, 6 weeks or so? Just in time for Halloween!

That sounds similar to something that happened to Chell once. She was making lunch in the kitchen and CRACK! I heard a stick breaking. I got in there and she says it felt like she stepped on a stick. There was no stick. Neither of us found one. It was weird.

I'll put screencaps on the first post when I have the time. Right now all I wanted to do was check gbatemp and email.

Edit) I have an idea! Let's translate all the text in the trailer(s) and upload that in anticipation of the translation! So more people know about it!
