Lets localize Terra Phantastica!

		Most of the Tile work is "mostly done", like all these maps are stripped of the baked in Japanese and ready to be Englishified. I am keeping the blank PSDs in case that guy who does all the French games wants to work on Terra after I'm done the English version.

		Yes this is still going on, its a metric ton of graphics editing in addition to the thousands of lines of text. All of the maps similar to the one above are done, and all of the pre-battle "versus flag" screens are also done:

		Go go Malenko! This'll be awesome to play once you've finished your patch.

		Happy June! Small status update, all but 1 file has had the graphics edited and recompressed into the game. There's some weird one-off problem with SKEFF01.VLY that I'm actively harassing Conan about =) We are close to having all of the core of the game translated, we'll just have t go through the branching story bits. Having the debugger is a huge help. MojaMojaKumaSan has joined on to help translate along with Solo (they are IRL friends)

		You guys rock thank you so much for your hard work <3

		Thank you for your hard work. I would like to try to localize this game into Chinese language. May I ask how to use @ derek (ateam)'s TextCleuth tool in this game? I don't quite understand.

		Malenko	Jun 21, 2025
		You wont need text sleuth, as all the text has been found, its all in Shift-JIS

Forgot to mention, I'll aslo be releasing all the tools and blanked tiles for other people to translate this into other languages.

		Great work Malenko! I've never played this game but it looks so cool!

		I just registered to say thanks for all the hard work. I am a big Saturn fan and would gladly pay for a patch.

The patch will be available for free, as always. Pay for it by sticking around and being a part of the community

		Its happening!!!!! Getting the first cabinet meeting in, first cut scene is in. Tools seem to be 100% bug free now /jinx There's a few things left in the 0F bin file , but once that's done, the game will be 100% playable in English, it'll just need the rest of the story translated. All the battle menus and spells, items, formations, etc will all be in English. Once chapter 1 is done and 0F I'll be releasing a private build to Shiro and maybe even SX patreons.

		Look at some of these awesome troops. Red Balls: (aka magical tomato troops) and troutmen with feet! and frogmen wearing hammer pants EDIT: Here's a sneak peak at the VFW in action:

		Do we have Japanophones working on the rest of the translation?

		The font needs to be adjusted, as the lowercase letters are dancing in height

2 native fluent speakers are working on it.

	paul_met said:

The font was only ever meant for menus and very sparsely; I plan to make adjustments to get them vertically aligned and adjustements to kearning as well. Do you have any interest in maybe translating it to Russian?

		Happy 3 year anniversary to this project!

		I've been lurking the sidelines for some time, keeping track of this translation project. While I cannot really provide any assistance toward this project itself (I haven't done any hacking Sega-Saturn-wise... like, at all), all I can do is wish everyone involved the best of luck and hope this will see the light of day in English someday. Thank you.
