What is free mode? Is it just another nightmare+?
Ho Tu Lo Shu is the better rpg, but Heroes adventure has a better translation.
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.
That'll probably be next month, with the new factorio exp release.
Maybe? I dont know.
Oh, interesting, didn't know it's writing was so important.
Which game? Fate seeker or Ho Tu Lo Shu?
Fate Seeker is way more obtuse. HTLS has quest markers for God's sake.

Calamity in Penglai - Free Expansion Preview
Greetings, Adventurers!
As 2024 comes to an end, we’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
Over the past year, Hero’s Adventure has maintained an update frequency of every 1-2 months, including the addition of Yan Yun, the Western Regions, and the Southeast to the map, as well as the introduction of new characters and their unique stories. We’ve also expanded gameplay features, enhanced visual designs, and added more female character stories. The release of the mobile version was another major milestone, bringing us to over one million copies sold.
We never set out to achieve grand milestones but simply focused on the work at hand. Looking back, we realize just how many steps we've taken, and it's all thanks to you, our players, for your unwavering support throughout the year. Delivering new content around the Lunar New Year has become our tradition, and as previously teased, we’re thrilled to announce that our free expansion, "Calamity in Penglai", will launch in mid-January! Here’s an exclusive sneak peek at what’s to come.
New Jianghu Events & Storyline
"After the fall of the Nine Factions Sect, the Jianghu world finally finds peace. Just as the triennial Sword Conference approaches, you—a rising martial arts prodigy—receive an invitation to participate. However, no one could have predicted that the conference would unearth old grudges from decades past, all tied to the enigmatic Penglai Sect..."
This expansion introduces a new story arc with a true ending, featuring over 100 game events and a web of intrigue involving more than 30 characters. Players can also look forward to new achievements, martial arts techniques, and items.
New Location: Penglai Island
"Legends speak of an island in the East Sea known as Penglai, a paradise filled with mythical creatures, priceless treasures, and unparalleled martial arts secrets—all guarded by the mysterious Penglai Sect. Now, for reasons unknown, the sect has opened its gates, inviting martial artists from across the land..."
Prepare to explore the legendary Penglai Island, a breathtaking new location filled with treasures, dangers, and surprises.
New Language Support & Overseas Mobile Launch
To bring Hero’s Adventure to even more players worldwide, we’re adding language support for Spanish, Portuguese, Thai, and Vietnamese in the upcoming update. We will also update some of the English localization proofreading content, including the early story (Nameless village) of the game. We will continue to work on the proofreading process.
Martial arts culture is rich in historical background, traditional terminology, and unique expressions, making localization a challenging task. Not only do we need to ensure accuracy, but we also aim to preserve its original expression as much as possible. However, due to differences in language structure, it is difficult to fully satisfy the expectations of every player.
We understand that this is a long-term and continuously evolving process, so we welcome any valuable feedback. If you encounter any translation issues or have suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact us via Discord[discord.gg]. We will regularly review and adjust the translation to ensure that everyone enjoys a better localization experience.
Additionally, the overseas mobile version will soon be available. The mobile version is a complete port of the PC version. The free expansion will also be updated on mobile version, allowing everyone to start Jianghu adventure anywhere anytime. The pre-registration for Google Play and iOS is now live. Feel free to search “Hero’s Adventure” and pre-register in the app store!
What do you think about this upcoming update? Please drop by our official Discord[discord.gg] to share your thoughts. Thanks so much for your continued support and love for Hero's Adventure! We wish all of you a Happy New Year!!
Play around a little bit on whatever difficulty you like, unlock a few achievements and get an idea of which sect you want to join in your "real" playthrough and what kind of character to make, then restart with a few bonus chargen points on nightmare or whatever the highest non-custom one is called.
They're fun. Also, you're definitely going to fuck your build up the first time. Nearly everyone who plays this tries to make a glass cannon at first before realizing what a terrible idea that is halfway through their run.
