| If the script doesn't match the changed items, doesn't really make sense | GhaleonUnlimited | 2022-02-07 | Version 1.0 |
While it's great someone hacked the Japanese sprites back into the game, I don't really see how it helps anything if both the script and the item names don't match the sprites. Hopefully we'll see a true uncensored Landstalker in Western lanaguages soon, as the script really needs to match up with the item images to make sense! I am grateful for the author for figuring out how to do this and post this! Now that this and the bath scene have been unlocked, just the text needs to be updated. I had someone offer to translate the Japanese text from a few specific scenes (like the "dance studio") and I was poking around with the tools available online to mess with the text, but things went on hold for both of us. Again, grateful for making this work public for others to work from! I'm not trying to dismiss the author's work with a "not recommended", just commenting on the actual utility of this patch as taken alone. If anyone has knowledge of changing the item names, feel free to let me know and maybe I can get back in touch w/ the translator and work on the text again, combining with these patches. | |||
