I'm confused about the "The Great Conquest" dlc, does it need to be released later or what? Cause it's under the patch notes?
Or do you need to buy the Silhouette one and you'll get the other one too?

EDIT: Ah nvm, I see it now, you can buy both of them, wasn't able to see that though.

What is free mode? Is it just another nightmare+?

Ho Tu Lo Shu is the better rpg, but Heroes adventure has a better translation.

Up to you really, Id got with Road to passion first, then circle back to the book of dragons.

Both, obviously. Or would you rather play some western slop?

I had some good results when I did a translation of fallout 2 sonora from russian to english via chatgpt4. These days there's a better model out for translation, so I'm wondering if I can just make it work with that.

Not actually extract the game files, rather take screenshots and feed them to the AI and translate it that way...

That'll probably be next month, with the new factorio exp release.

Maybe? I dont know.

Dialogue is so important in Ho Tu Lo Shu. The game doesnt hold your hand, you are meant to figure everything out on your own.

The guides written about it were written with the translation in mind, so the names of people, items and places match those.

Suppose it wouldnt be an issue if chat GPT gives you a great translation and you dont use the guide, but if you do it may be.

Game is so complex that you need a very faithful translation or you are stuck with the guide to advance.

Oh, interesting, didn't know it's writing was so important.
Does that mean the story is good?

I really have no idea what anyone is talking about regarding translation/guides/whatever. The game is incredibly simple, all the quests are just "go to [location]," you don't have to use your brain to complete it at any point. There are quite a few hidden secrets, but translation won't help you there: they're hidden from Chinese players just as effectively, and never necessary to complete the game. The translation patch available on the steam workshop is fine and never unintelligible except that some move descriptions get cut off due to lack of space.

Which game? Fate seeker or Ho Tu Lo Shu?

I found both to be very cryptic, and featured a load of quests and events. Particularly Ho Tu Lo Shu has multiple endings depending on choices and actions.

Both the Ho Tu Lo Shu and Fate Seeker fan patches are absolutely atrocious. I'm thankful the guy put the work into them, but good lord. It decreases the enjoyment of the games quite a bit for me.

Fate Seeker is way more obtuse. HTLS has quest markers for God's sake.

Base Game Update: Sworn Brotherhood Feature & New Adventures with Chang Chunzi and Man Tuoluo
Ever dreamed of forming a sworn brotherhood like those epic scenes from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils? Following the features for recruitment and romantic bonding, this update introduces the new "Sworn Brotherhood" feature. Reach a "Life and Death Bond" with a companion, and you can form a sworn brotherhood, unlocking new scenes and events.

This update also continues the tales of fan favorites Chang Chunzi and Man Tuoluo.

Known for his stubborn ways, Chang Chunzi's latest descent from the mountain involves a carriage robbery with an unexpected twist. Will he choose to adapt or stick to his rigid ways?

Man Tuoluo's quest revolves around a disease striking the pomegranate tree planted in memory of his mother in Qionghua Valley. As he seeks a cure, he uncovers stories of his parents on his return to the Western Regions.


New Portrait Expansion Pack
We’ve long wanted to chat about why Hero's Adventure hasn’t featured character customization. Anyone who's dabbled in creating a costume MOD knows our game's characters are crafted with frame-by-frame hand-drawn pixels, where a simple action involves over a dozen handcrafted frames. To date, our protagonist alone has over 2000+ action frames!

While we’ve been limited by our base tech, we haven’t stopped feeling the itch to improve.

This expansion pack tries something new with character portraits, meticulously handcrafted by our art team. It includes over 200 new-style portraits for nearly all key characters, which will go live with the update.,Keep in mind, you can't mix and match the old and new portraits, but we’ve included a handy toggle for you to switch styles as you like.

We can’t wait to see if you love the sparks our artists have struck with this new style as much as we do.This pack is all about dressing up and adds no changes to gameplay, so it’s totally up to you if it's your cup of tea.
