ROM Hack [WIP] Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux Restoration Mod

[one_sloth_wrecking_crew]

If you played the original and don't know who Captain Jack is, then you should play it again

point taken - it's been a while, and I never finished it the first time around before getting distracted by something else

speaking of distraction, my other project hit a snag, so I dug into this after buying a copy - in general, you no longer see npcs (they don't have portraits, effectively, and I replaced the comm images with the "sound-only" variant), and characters that had portraits in the original have been replaced by the original art

a few things:
-most portraits were sourced from the ds rom, as this was the cleanest I could find (weird note here is that these are included in the 3ds version in the files, but never used...)
-I may have missed some things, I'll need to do a play test, but really only concerned about the boss battles / doppleganger and how they show up (tuxedo gore, etc)
-small icons have not been replaced yet
-I tried something a bit different with Alex as she seems very plot important in this version - you'll have to see how you like it, but if you don't, it's easy enough to walk back to no portrait for her

how should I upload it? can I link to a google drive, or do I need to make a mega?

Cool stuff, I'll definitely be using this.

What pray tell are you even talking about?
The original version of Strange Journey on DS had no voice acting whatsoever and the 3DS version has only Japanese audio available even in American and European official releases.

i thought it did have english voices but if not can redux have a patch to remove the japanese audio?

v2.0 is released.

Changelog is in the OP.

If you don't care about the vanity stuff then another build is coming soon otherwise if you want the shine back then a brand new build will arrive later as the old one had a few problems, as usual, this works Luma's game patching but if you want to compile it into the .cia then the files are easily replaceable.

Best mod for this game

Keep up the good work man!

You can literally turn off the voices in options, for the love of god stop spewing shit when you didn't even bother turning the game on.

While traversing dungeons, you still have the new portrait on the bottom screen. Also, I don't know how well the old DS sprites stretch given how low-res they probably are, but they're really, really small

There is literally a goddamn Voice Volume slider in options, just turn it down to zero.

 

[WiikeyHacker]

strange i never saw it ?

 

[Lemonov]

So, this is dead now? Damn. I really looked forward to it.

 

[Raytheon_Thunder]

Is this dead?
