SPOOKY FEAR UPDATE: October 30th, 2spooky23

Translations In Testing! (TiT)

The translation work for WHI is now “done”. I say “done” in quotes because I currently have Pyxxis testing it to make sure it didn’t break anything important, like a cutscene. I also probably missed some lines or something didn’t get translated, because there’s just under 10,000 strings to be translated so missing a few was a near certainty.

If everything goes well, I will be posting an update to WHI later this week, as well as instructions on how to get the translation and how to make your very own if you are so inclined. This is all community-driven, I set up the spreadsheets to provide machine-translations and allow the community to improve them. You just need to replace a few files on the hard drive.

You could also theoretically make English-to-English translations and rewrite the plot of the game, I’m not saying you should do that but you can.

As mentioned elsewhere, this will eventually migrate into a RoP translation. The basic code is exactly the same, and it actually works fairly well as it is, but it’s a lot of work on my end and it also makes my eyes bleed because I’ve been doing it for three weeks. I am actually looking forward to getting back to fixing the remaining bugs. Fixing bugs is quaint, cozy, non-threatening. I am safe there, safe from the spreadsheets.

Oh, Koops finished a bunch of enemy designs and a nice pinup, and is working on a costume for chapter 5. Urimas finished the chapter 1 sprites and is making some tilesets. Giga is working on a SECRET SEQUENCE in chapter 1 that I am really excited about.

Five Fans at Arties? Five Arts at Fannies? FANAF this sucks.

I haven’t seen the movie yet but I want to so DON’T SPOIL IT. I can only assume now it involves Christine and Night using a screwdriver to disassemble a set of evil animatronic robots. That, or Golem Christine spending a series of completely uneventful nights watching harmless robots wander around since their simple frames can’t damage her chassis.

And here we have some mermaids! I can’t say what the mermaid design is going to be because that’s Mario’s territory but I like the side-fins. These pieces were created by Mugenbine by the way.
