[Complete - Partial] [Jamming Software] Succubus Maze (サキュバスメイズ/RJ138375)

[Strange]

Okay, I'll give up. More than I can chew.
I managed to implement a working machine translation for this (good old) game.

Spoiler: snip snip! - legacy

Of course, I am not satisfied with googlish quality, and started refining (very liberally) the battle messages. I've mostly worked with the Succubus, to get a grasp on how much time this would be weighting.... Answer is: too much for me. But I doubt anyone got a working English patch thus far. So here I am.

Currently I estimate 5-10% of the game is in English, the rest is 100% googlish. I have not bothered with the story, but you might notice a slight difference if you happen to flirt with Succubi lots - who wouldn't?.

Please report any bug/freeze you might encounter, this isn't 100% playtested, but I'm confident I haven't overlooked any major issue.
Any bug reported will be a piece of cake to fix if you report the event sequence that led to it.
Feel free to keep messing with the commonEvents in my footsteps, I won't take offense (nor continue refining myself... Probably)

See posts below and the good news for update details.

This patch was made using version 1.06. Backup your /data folder in any case.
Please refer to the relevant threads and resources if you do not know how to extract a rgssad file and/or how to apply this.


edit 23/06: No reply = no issue? Good to hear!
* added the 2 recollection rooms in real English. I also reworked the menu for my your convenience, and implemented a random pick for stages & enemy warps. These 2 files overwrite the last.
edit 02/07: added English Items and some minor menu things, because why not?

edit 25/02/2001:
- further refined the work done over at F95. Extract/overwrite in extracted vanilla game.
More info in the readmes and the save crystal. Absolutely go to a save crystal straight away if you're trying to load an old save (which may or may not work).
Reminder: new game+ things are saved in your PublicData.rvdata, not in your regular save files.

You are freakin legendary .thanks for the translation i hope you finish it but if not thanks for your work!

 

[Strange]

You're welcome! (minor additions in OP, by the way)
I'll probably leave it as is: story isn't exactly enthralling, and I'm the worst when it comes to translating "Ara, ara, you like that?" in 147 different ways

@ Anyone: feel free to take it from here.

I was thinking about creating a thread here, but:
- translator++ is very intuitive and easy to use (perhaps too much so)
- I'd rather have less people using it, but more people with actual jp knowkedge and willingness to make an actual translation, not a MTL

Bon courage with ze logiciel!

Funny enough, I actually started working on a translation of this game using Translator++ back in 2019/2020. I was actually doing pretty well, too, until I ran into some sort of problem with the translator which wouldn't let the new translations appear in game. I'd be willing to take up a full fixed translation if anyone can help with problems I might find along the way. This game really deserves a proper patch, it's a shame.

<poker face> I have good news and bad news.

For the bad news:

Spoiler

1- apparently I'm an idiot who didn't finish what I started, and left many dialogue lines broken... Doh. Self-facepalm.
2- no one bothered to tell me, after... 9 months? You guys were just afraid to hurt my feelings, right? Awww.
3- oh noes, they stole my work! Kidding, I don't mind in the slightest. Just read the good news:

Now for the good news:
Some unknown guys over at F95, whom I shall henceforth refer to as Abel and Cain (for no reason ) have done most of the work I had left (like, only 85% of the game). With some caped seafood too??

Yes, that means, you can now have Succubus Maze in proper English, story n' all. Mostly, at least.

I'll pilfer back from them and have a running version here (just the modified files over the original game, as before). After giving it a good check. And squash bugs and stuff. Hopefully, they won't be bugs I've spawned myself Ah ah...
You could get it there in the meanwhile, but I'd recommend waiting 'till they fixed the last-minute bugs; seems like they just merged the 2 versions they had.

Reminder: JammingSoftware should be having another work, Succubus Labyrinth, out before April. Keep some love for the sequel!


edit: definitely more than I can chew... But I really want this dealt with before Academia comes out, for better or worse.
I had the QoL changes I intended worked out already (mostly in my head...) but I certainly won't be able to go through all 10k lines of text.
Well, I'll do my best

Wow, kind of crazy how suddenly there was a bunch of English patches(at least, relative to the past) for this game in only a few months. I’d expected the game to sit idle and never be translated, sad as that sounds.

But hey! Excited to see what Jamming Software can do with a new game. It’s only been what, 6 years? Either way, I expect I’ll be happy with what we get.

Updated OP with new patch, as promised
Includes Abel's stuff as well as my own on top. Quite a lot done behind the scenes... Which might show! If you wanted to revisit an old classics, now's the time
