東方幻想魔録 ～ Devil of Decline Translation

[Hinacle]

By the way, I have a couple questions related to the game itself, not the patch... while it was not released yet.

The game got a few updates so far, right...? Does any of them add a sort of "easy mode" like on weekend...? If not, is DoD easier, harder, or more or less the same difficulty as GoS?

And... does the game introduce some original characters as villains as well...? I mean, just like GoS' three gorgon sisters. (Please don't spoil me anything about them, just tell me if there are OC's present or not)

1. The game is easier than GoS. It's more casual less BS can happen to you. Late game can be pretty annoying though.
 I haven't tried out the new patch so I'm not sure if it added an "easy mode" like weekend did.

2. Yes, OCs are present.

Sure, if you don't count a certain someone using a certain whole-party-nuke that hits for more health than you have on the very first turn and every subsequent turn thereafter based on how unlucky you are.

I'm sorry but, who?

The game gives you a lot of ways to circumvent the nuke and it's not a long boss fight, so it's not really as big of an issue as it sounds. In the end game, there's some stuff you can do to hit for absolutely insane amounts of damage as well. STR boosting weakness damage and INT boosting critical damage becomes broken.

It's easier then GoS for sure, but it does still have it's moments. Apart from the final dungeon though (Which I think is justified because final), these "moments" are generally just "prepare for the gimmick and you should be okay".

As someone who's been waiting for this translation for the past half-year, or at least it feels that way, I'd be very much in approval of a gameplay-only patch. If anything, we can use that to find things that might need correcting as soon as possible.

I agree. Story is something I like and approve of, but after waiting for this long, I'd at least like to be able to read the menus without my translators spewing garbage, like on the synthesis screen. That's a nightmare waiting to happen always.

Having played this game twice, I agree. The same is true of GoS to an extent. As long as you know what to do, aside from possible RNG nonsense, you're pretty much set. It's the battles that are hard yet don't have a gimmick that you can circumvent (Eirin and Kaguya, for example) that are legitimately hard without grinding forever.

Thanks for putting the spoiler tag. I still haven't read it, whatever that's written there.

I'd appreciate if the others put spoiler tag as well whenever necessary... because not only me, but there might be also some other people who doesn't want to be spoiled.

You could use Control on Kaguya though. That's what I did.

This.
I've been wanting a patch since the game first came out, If you can release a gameplay-only patch then I'll gladly play it. And like Slow said we can use it to find errors. If you don't want to then that's ok~

Kaguya can be controlled in DoD?!

Seconded on both points. I couldn't get Charm (I didn't really have Control) to work on her during the LP run at all, and I don't remember if I did in my first run or not.

[lightdreamer]

My bad. I was thinking of GoS.

I have started working on translating this myself.

[LeviLamprey]

Separately, or as a part of this translation project?

[Hinacle]

Separately, or as a part of this translation project?

And how much or what parts has been translated?

[trancehime]

Trance:I was under the impression that the item/skills file wasn't done, but I suppose anyone actually working on this would know better then me

I meant just the whole shikigami csv.

If the item/skills file isn't done and nobody is working on it, I guess I could do those too.

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

Hey Michiru-chan, glad to see you posted here.

For the ones that are wondering who she is, well... she is a native japanese speaker but has lived for some years in the USA as well, so, she is completely fluent in both languages. I thought it'd be interesting to recruit her so she can help us getting the translation of this game done, and also to see how it'll turn out.

I've explained everything through PM to TheNewGuy, so, he is aware of the details already.

[Serela]

Oh, another translator, and a native japanese speaker as well? Fabulous! Great to see that work on this is really picking up.

[LeviLamprey]

That's great news! I really wish I could contribute in some way, but it's nice to see people returning and working on things.

[homing curvy laser]

"Oops, now that bug should be fixed for sure."

[Validon98]

Sorry for bumping this (again), but it's been a bit longer than a week and I was wondering what's going on (impatience, how I hate you). I know the story stuff is still a long ways away, but what about the gameplay stuff (item.csv and the like)? I know I asked about it before, and some people weren't entirely happy with it, but is enough done for a gameplay patch to be made? I (or any of the others who agreed with me, like Hinacle and slow) wasn't really answered the last time I asked...
Sorry for my impatience in advance.

I believe this fully translates Reimu's route of the game, except some (most?) character recruitment scenes.

Thank you as always for your work Deranged!

Hello good people!....
i am new here and want to know how to help in this project....do i need to know a programming language or something...
i want to translate the pictures...and i just wanted to ask how is the project going?
do you by any chance have a release date planned?

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

do you by any chance have a release date planned?

I'm not really behind the schemes, but by the looks of it... I doubt there is any release date planned.

The one I hired to help with the translation is barely online, so, it's pretty hard to get in touch with her. Last thing I heard from her was that "the translation was progressing quite decently" but that's about it. As such, I'm now relying more on the older integrants of the team.

I only hope this patch will in fact eventually see the light of the day.

[Dracone9999]

thanks for the reply,and yes....this patch WILL see the light of the day....
anyway,i don't really know much about coding or anything,but i would like to help in any possible way i can!...

wow...i'm really inspirational.... :blush:

[Useless Fairy]

Hullo all the hard workers, just a useless fairy passing by here.

I've been looking at this game for awhile and have spent some time on Youtube watching gameplay-videos of this, and it has looked very interesting.

However, just like with "Touhou Pocket Wars 2nd", there seems to be no full translation/english patch, so I was very crestfallen... Until I heard that the MotK (You lovely folks) were working on a translation.

So, I'm simply just here to check in and see if work is still being done on bringing an end to the Moonrunes and replacing them with coherent, roman letters... Or if this too has fallen into obscurity.

Oh! And though it's shameful and embarrassing, I'm terribly sorry, but I can't offer much besides good cheer and good luck-wishes, my knowledge of programming, coding and translation are sadly next to non-existent. Well, I am useless after all~

Thank you for your time, nwo I must wander on... But I'll be back, for sure! *bow*

...........this Thread is deader than dead......................................

[Validon98]

...........this Thread is deader than dead......................................

Well...

Of course I've been really terribly busy lately. Slightly on the upside patches for Summoners and DoD came out so some grief was spared there. Anyway, I can't guarantee a large increase in activity until we start getting to summer. Barring maybe a surprise translation dump.  Terribly sorry, my pace drives me nuts too.

It'll happen. Eventually. Everyone has those times when they're so busy it's hard to focus on things.
Also, I'd say something about Nightmare of Illusion, but that's been covered and it's not coming until August, so... yeah.

[Dracone9999]

well yeah but,when i'm busy i let people know what's going on....:/...i think that this long awaited translation is dead....but there is a little tiny piece of hope stuck in my heart muscle like a shrapnel and it's telling me to believe,and hurts like a motherf*****r....
