Monster Girls

Redownload if you grabbed the first version I put up. This one should actually work.

1.21.30 English patch alt: https://anonfiles.com/file/896b1013ba7bd52ca4596b586f7e8da7

As usual, run the patch in a fresh copy of the 1.21.00 Japanese version of the game. If you get an error, it’s almost definitely something you’re doing wrong. Unless I screwed up (again).

So this patch isn’t all I hoped it would be, but I’m not waiting any longer. Big thanks to the new help I have editing files, but unfortunately I haven’t had time to look them all over to smooth things out and fix mistakes. You should be able to play up through San Ilia and Mt. St. Amos. A few files are translated but completely unedited, including:

Monster talk dialogue in battle is done up through Queen Harpy, but still lots more to do. The seduction dialogue isn’t done, neither are battlefuckers other than Marie. Gameplay elements continue to be a work in progress, but are substantially translated.

I’d really like to patch once a month, but then I’d also like to do more testing on patches before throwing one together to release. We’ll see!

Like before, use the patch with the original Japanese version 1.21.

To the surprise of probably no one, I didn’t actually manage to finish all of the Ilias continent. The good news is that lots of progress was made in the last two months! Pornof (minus the panty turn-ins and Scat Captain), Happiness Village, and Harpy Village are translated along with the Ilias continent Tartarus rifts (and associated caves/dungeons, etc.). So you can essentially play up through the harpy sidequest now. Midas Village and the Slug Tower haven’t been touched though. In-battle dialogue remains about where it was in the last patch, sadly. The translation has a few rough edges and inconsistencies that will need to be smoothed over too.

Not a whole lot of extra h-scenes translated, but many of the ones that are copies from the first game have been copied over from Rogue’s translation. We’re in the process of editing and rewriting those, but they’re in the game unedited right now. Who would have thought that getting work done and coordinating people in December would be hard? Rather than guessing which h-scenes are translated, you can refer to the linked progress spreadsheet.

Once again I’ve been terrible at keeping the front page of the blog updated. Oh, and I’ve been terrible at making consistent progress on the translation too. As usual, I do respond to comments on the blog, make occasional replies on the /vg/ thread, and idle in #mgq on Rizon IRC if anyone’s wondering whether I’m alive. I’ve been doing this for nearly four years now (holy shit) and don’t intend on disappearing.

At any rate, the next patch will be at the end of the month (probably Sunday, Nov. 1), but it’s not going to be very satisfying to anyone, least of all myself. MGL implemented a new dialogue box format that’s much nicer than the original, plus we’ve got some changes under the hood that don’t matter for actually playing the game. Between those, fixing mistakes, copying over content that was previously translated but disappeared from patches, and finding all sorts of random lines that weren’t translated and should have been, the forward progress on the translation hasn’t gone far. Hopefully that can change in the next two weeks!

I’m still aiming for an end of the year patch with all of the Ilias Continent translated. Ideally you could play the game up until reaching Sentora without encountering a single Japanese character, except for perhaps battle yells for more advanced skills and little things like that. There WILL be an end of the year patch regardless of progress though.

This weekend: patch for all demo content, all or mostly all items, skills, and other gameplay-related text.

Prior to Memorial Day (US) (let’s say May 20): patch for the Ilias Continent. All story and quests translated up to leaving the continent, as many H-scenes as we can manage for the monsters found there. Hopefully a good chunk of miscellaneous text too, but we likely won’t get to stuff like encyclopedia entries by this date. Rest assured that everything in the game will be translated eventually. Fully 100%, not “Dargoth 100%.”

That’s the plan for now!

Okay, this is mostly just menus and some misc. stuff with *some* of the demo content copied over. None of the H-scenes or really anything from the common events file. I’ll be copying over more and more this week and translating new content.

Note this patch is ONLY valid for the 1.02 version of the game. You’ll have a file called 解説書v1.02.txt in the folder and the game will say 1.02 in the upper left corner when you start. If not, the patch isn’t going to work. I’m only capable of editing the files in the game, not adding any new ones, and since patch 1.02 added new scripts, there’s no way to patch version 1.00.

Extract contents to your game folder (with game.exe) and run the patch exe. Click patch, exit when done. Play game. It is STRONGLY advised to use a clean directory for the patch and keep around a non-patched version just in case.

Sadly we did run into technical difficulties with creating a patch for the release version, but ytinasni is working on that. In the meantime, we at least have access to the files to continue copying things over, but the patch itself will have to wait.

I know you guys have tons of questions about what things are going to be translated first, how fast, when patches are going to be released, etc., but it’s too early for good answers. We’ll do our best.

Torotoro put up a save for those who want to look at CG or watch H-scenes: http://vps.zamanen.net/mon-taiken/Save.zip

He also released v1.01 already, but it’s crashtastic. Don’t download.
