This one is a nice T-RPG by Elf that takes a different formula from Foxy or Dragon Knight IV. It has a nice unit management system and pretty challenging maps. The spritework is gorgeous, and the game offers a lot more variety in units - both playable and enemies - than the first game in the series.
I began to work on a menu patch first, and after messing with hardcoded stuff, modifying a lot of graphics and editing the hell of the two main scripts (thanks again to tomyun's awesome "juice" tool) and having the most annoying text-width bug fixed thanks to Alpharobo, I took a glance at the full script. Turns out it was mostly composed of H-scenes, with a bare minimum of story elements, and most of all... it was really short. So I thought: hell, why not do a full patch for this one too ?
Turns out translating 12 badly written h-scenes with nothing inbetween is a pretty boring task, so I only finished it five projects later. Kirinn B was kind enough to proofread this cringefest, so it motivated me to finally put an end to it. I still love the actual gameplay to death, but to say the plot is "barebones" would be an understatement...
