Really Obscure RPGs

[Litmanen]

I'm not giving any timeline, it will take AT LEAST a couple of months but, yeah, once found how to optimize time and resources, things are improving

I've also "worked" on several lines of text but there is a lot more to do.

I don't know if you want to be updated about this "project" and if, in case, this is the right place for it.

Anyway, I'm at the 0,6% of the translation. But now it is going way faster than at the beginning.

The problem is that I have to open the file with an hex editor on one side and a text editor on the other. Than I have to extract the text I want to translate via the text editor, delete every space between letters (i.e. "Ja, danke" is always written "J a , d a n k e "), understand what's there (I'm helping myself with some tools) and then be sure to replace the original sentence with the same number of characters with the hex editor (that has spaces but doesn't count them). I cannot simply replace "Ja, danke" with "yes, thanks". I have to replace it with something like "Thanks ".
With longer sentences is easier, to be honest, because english is usually shorter than german or hungarian (yeah, a lot of sentences are in hungarian). With single or few words sentences, sometimes it demands for compromise.

Are you even sure it’s worth the effort? Maybe try playing it for a bit with a screen or phone OCR translator to get a feel.

For sure this game is not worth the effort. What are we talking about? I thought that every single post in this thread wasn't worth the effort for games fairly forgotten.

But this game is that shitty from the start to the end that it's fascinating. I played it a bit and I also like the graphics.

And, translating it, I think people would like the tone of this game.

Kind-of RPGs by A.Hagen, like Ramble Planet, Void Pyramid or Alien Squatter. Good and weird world-building. Well, not a full-scale RPGs, but it had some stats and a spirit of RPG'ish looting, exploration and puzzle solving. Available for your phones for free!

Void Pyramid is pretty good, has some interesting design choices, since you mostly get your upgrades out of machines by paying for them. The rest you get by solving puzzles to get various extras. Alien Squatter, meanwhile, is kind of the same, except without combat, so you're just going around hoping to get the stuff you need to be in good shape for the next day. You're a bit too beholden to the RNG though.

These look great, so thanks for mentioning them.

The creator has also published Xoo: Xeno Safari and Last Chance in Xollywood on Steam - have you tried those?

Haven't played Xollywood, didn't even know it existed, but Xoo could be said to be Pokemon, but without combat. Cute, basically takes a single afternoon to beat if you want to.
