Oh man, this is actually super awesome! You are totally welcome to come on board as far as editing some of the graphics go if you want! I love the logo design you did and it would be super to integrate it into our patch if that would be okay! We were going for a more traditional just translation instead of localization when it came to the difficulties and stuff, but your screens for the song info (like missed notes and whatnot) would be super awesome to use, since we actually haven't translated those yet, haha. But you are more than welcome to send me a PM or send me a link to the graphics you've translated. And if you know how to use HANS, I can send you a patch so you can see what else we have translated too!Oh, wow. I didn't notice someone was starting this. I actually started one on my own, albeit trying to be closer to the Taiko Drum Master release with menu options. I even made a full English logo.
Here's all the ones I've done, including my logo (which I translated as Taiko Drum Master: Adventures Through Time and Space).
Edit: I really want to help out with this, and I can do loads of image editing if needed. Also, while I can't help with translation, I'd love to help out with writing, or even possibly localizing the script in a way, if that's alright?
For this one, I translated it because there's a mode that removes notes which requires these to play it. Much easier to do in English.
Drumroll was really difficult to fit into it, so I decided to go for a bit of an experimental way to do it. I think it looks good, but it doesn't have to be kept.
For this, I tried to go for a logo and name that would seem sort of "official" in terms of localization. I cut out the Don to Katsu part because I couldn't get it to look right and I was already struggling for space to fit Adventures Through Time and Space without it looking weird.
Thanks! I'm glad you like them! For the sheets, really all I did was find the equivalent term in the English Taiko Drum Master and use it, rather than localizing any of the terms myself. The new menu items though I tried to do in a way that other 3DS games have things translated, like Local Play instead of Multiplayer. Feel free to use any of the ones I've posted (hopefully crediting me where you can ^^), and I'd love to help out!
I couldn't encourage it enough! If you import the game, you can simply run the patch through HANS or even dump your cartridge and apply the patch to your game files!Your progress on this looks amazing!! I was totally thinking of importing the game, so I might actually do it now.
Also, props to Zander1995 for those amazing graphics and the logo
I swear that looks epic. Good job! <3 :3Thanks to @Nagato, we have finally overcome the multi-image ctpk image issues! Patch could be coming very soon, especially with the additional help from @Zander1995! In the meantime, here are some nice screenshots to feast your eyes upon!
Well, like I said in the OP, a full menu patch is going to be released first, so people who don't care much for the story mode can just play the game right away. But we do have full plans to translate the story mode as well, however it will take quite a bit longer given the scope of the story and the potential difficulties we are going to have to go through getting the font to adjust right to english text. Neither @shiduyo, @Zander1995 nor I know much about the font, so that will definitely be interesting. This isn't some huge JRPG epic we are talking about here, but there is just a massive amount of images to translate and small bits of dialogue we have to translate as well. Don and Katsu's adventure through space time sure isn't a small one, haha.
So if I only want to play the rhythm game, the partial patch will suffice? I don't really mind the lack of story mode hahaWell, like I said in the OP, a full menu patch is going to be released first, so people who don't care much for the story mode can just play the game right away.

Yep, the menu patch will patch everything you need to know to play the rhythm game (EXCEPT for the song titles, unfortunately)! We would have translated the song titles, but all of them are stored as one big image, which would just be the absolute biggest pain in the ass to translate. But other than that, everything else should be translated. Every menu is translated too, omitting the story-exclusive ones. Badges (kinda like achievements) aren't translated, but those aren't really important. They're just milestones you pass whenever you do something like clear all the Vocaloid songs or something. But everything that is needed to understand what you are doing is translated in the menu-only patch!
No reason it wouldn't be! It's all one save file, so no worries. Do, however, backup your save using your save game manager of choice since re-installing the CIA will delete your save data. If you're running the .3ds file I guess you wouldn't have to do anything (I'm not acquainted with GW so I don't know) and if you're running from a legit cartridge your save data will untouched.
