ABOUT:
This will be a project to translate the visual novel Shiro to Kuro no Alice for Ps Vita.
It's also known as black and white Alice.

Here's a VNDS link for more information on it:

https://vndb.org/v19716/chars


It's a unique VN because you get to chose between white Alice and black Alice.
All of the Alice in wonderland characters are here, there just different.
The story can get kinda dark too.

WHY THIS?
I decide to start this project to gain more experience and to bring another VN to English speakers.
There are a ton a great Vita VN that will probably never see an English release.

INFORMATION:
Whats nice about this particular game is that the menus are already in English. So that is taken care of.
The option however are not. The script is kept in a nice .psarc file which was easy to extract.
The script is kept in large chunks in individual files. The first four is the starting routes you can chose from.
From there the rest of the story. They also contain the CHOICES as well. Character names are also kept in these files.
So each file will need these names translated once again which is kind of a pain.
The game uses utf-8 and 8-bit. This give plenty of room, but does some really wonky things with the text,
such as smashing letter together or overlaying them.(see screens below)
This is the only problem so far that needs to be fix.

So on to the important part:

WHAT IS NEEDED:

Someone to fix the font problem

Someone to work on the eboot. (I am not good at eboot modding.)

TRANSLATORS (There is obviously a large amount of text to translate, check and proof read.)

Currently I'm the only one translating, still waiting for someone to join and help, but that's ok. Progress is slow, but it's still progress. As you can see from the progress number. The good news is that not all of those 117 files contain textx. So small update. I'll try to get a few files done a day and we'll see!

Been a long time. No project is not dead. Updated the progress above. Most of the work is now being done over at FTI on discord. You can see some screens shots under Team Alice

    @Xdqwerty, Its funny because crypto cannot be recovered, just another one of those Nigerian scams that ask you for a Google Play giftcard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBs0AG_MN3g

    Also hi

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, why are most scams from mid-east countries?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I've reported the domain directly to their registrar so that they can take action. ;)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, To be fair, I have no idea.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because they are not as economic compared to us.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, so their only way of getting money is thru scams?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Exactly.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why not they just mine Monero instead of scamming vulnerable people? If they have a decent machine they can hit a jackpot at any given time.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, different cultures so probably they have their reasons
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes a $2,000 rig for $5 a day
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Or could be in correlation to laws.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
