Ane to Boin English Translation Port
Here's a game I've been working on for the last 5-6 months, after not having much progress with Nyuu Doukyuusei(those SQUEEZ folks really pushed the EAGLS engine to its limits) I decided I'd step down my ambition and take on a simpler game, the classic Ane to Boin by G.J? (Nyuu Doukyuusei is not abandoned, just nowhere near completion)
Albeit far from the best made by TechArts, this game will always have a special place in my heart as it's one of the first nukiges I ever played, still remembering how blown away I was by the character designs(Sano Toshihide was really ahead of his time with those milf drawings 😆) and enjoying the fun and quirky story.
Anyway, so the translation this time is a Ren'Py port of the original game. The reason I went with a port instead of a patch was mostly due to the old engine having stability issues on modern systems and of course the added benefits of using an engine that was actually designed with English language support and not having to mess with locale emulators and other such crap which apparently a lot of folks seem to have problems using.
And since I ported the game I also took the opportunity to add things like background moans, h-sound effects and other little gimmicks which I'll let you discover yourself.
Without further ado, you can download the game here: MEGA
For more information you can check the README.html file contained in the game folder.
Version changelog
V1.00: did my best to thoroughly play test it, but some bugs might've slipped by.
V1.01: fixed a CG Gallery bug, where Mikan's and Momoko's events would unlock event images for Kaoruko.
V1.02: fixed a file not found exception during Ringo's first H-Scene if her breasts size is set to Big.
Tamago, I love you
ReplyDelete🤗😊
DeleteIt's only 64Bits?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's made in Ren'Py 8.1.1 and this version has unfortunately dropped support for 32-bit systems.
DeleteIs there a way to download only the translation without the game?
DeleteSorry for the late reply, was away from home these last days... umm, well I haven't prepared a patch for the original game if that is what you ask.
DeleteAnd I'm afraid I won't have much time to get one ready, but I am willing to share the translated text if anyone is willing to make the patch themselves, get in contact with me at: lemontamago243@gmail.com and I can send the text for each script file as it appears in EAGLS, I kept the script structure similar for the port too.
Thanks,but i was able to play in android,also can we know your next game if you are continuing translating?
DeleteI definitely want to continue translating, but I don't know when or what I'll pick up next, there's quite a few on my list plus nyuu doukyuusei which I still want to finish, one day.
DeleteHello tamagolemon. Can you port it to android apk please? Joiplay doesn't work. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI added a file named ane.boin-release.apk in the MEGA folder from the link above.
DeleteKeep in mind I have only built the game and have not tested it, don't have an android device to do that with, so fingers crossed it actually works lol.
It worked perfectly fine, thank you! Does your other game have android port as well?
DeleteI'm afraid they don't, those are just patches that replace gui elements and scripts of the source game with English text.
DeleteYou're quickly becoming my favorite fan translator, thanks for what looks to be another banger!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that , hopefully more will come in this format (TechArts and it's child studios have a goldmine of games which unfortunately will never be officially picked up), if only time wasn't always an issue. 😅
DeleteI'm getting an exception at the first H-scene with Ringo and where the moneyshot cg cant be found here's what the error gave me:
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While loading :
OSError: Couldn't find file 'images/event/ari01r1n.png'.
Do you know how I can fix?
Thanks for reporting the bug, I have patched the exception and her scene should work now. Version 1.0.2 is up on MEGA.
DeleteKing! Interesting reason for the exception lmao.
DeleteIts not related to this particular game. but are you still planning on translating this https://vndb.org/v11133 game?
ReplyDeleteYup, it's still in the works(kind of), might release another game before fully comiting to working just on nyuu dokyuusei.
DeleteSqueeze game are not only long 30k+ lines but also very complex, so doing the same "port to Ren'Py" treatment requires insane amounts of work, plus I want to do some stuff with it which the original didn't have to hopefully make it even more enjoyable to play.
We'll see how things go, hopefully I'll release it one day. It's what I'm planning to anyway.
I'm hoping one day the gods will bless us with a Honoo no Haramase Oppai ★ Ero Appli Gakuen and Cha~nge! ~Ano Ko ni Natte Kunkun Peropero~ translation. half joking aside what does SQEEZE use for game engine? I've seen EAGLS being mentioned by VNDB and is it particularly hard to work with?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I see you're a man of exquisite culture. Oh man, what I would do to play those games officially translated and maybe even uncensored, there are so many good titles made by SQUEEZ, May-Be Soft and all the other TechArts studios that will unfortunately be forever lost to never getting translated, but what can I say, I hope and pray too that one day, the gods will indeed bless us with these titles brother.
DeleteAs for the engine, it's EAGLS alright. The engine itself is not hard to work with but is annoying because of a couple of reasons. For example, it's not very friendly with displaying English text as it interprets the single quote as a special character and will crash if encountered during in-game text.
Another thing which is more of a problem that comes from Japanese itself is the lack of word spacing, which has to be treated separately for English, when I did 'Oppai no Ouja 48' I made a tool that would format the text by inserting white spaces when a word would reach the end of line limit, and then there's the godawful Japanese locale that all freaking Japanese games are made with, don't even get me started on the amount of people that aren't familiar with using a locale emulator.
Porting the game to Ren'Py fixes most of these problems but introduces the difficulty of having to reverse engineer the EAGLS scripts and convert them to Ren'Py scripts, on the plus side, I can have fun and add stuff which the originals didn't have so I think at least from these points of view, the effort is worth it.
Have you considered Baku Ane 2 ~Otouto, Ippai Shibocchau zo!?It was a pity that the previous translator only completed one character and left the translation unfinished
ReplyDeleteI know it'll sound heresy saying this, but I could never quite get into AK Bare Bunny's VNs, as good as I know the collective opinion on them is, there's just something about choco-chip's art that I can't enjoy I guess.
DeleteFor me, HonkyTonk games were always superior, at least the ones made between 'Ijira Rental' and 'Kajuu 100%', which is why I had the motivation to go through Shabura Rental(which is one of my favorites of the bunch) in the first place. I don't think I'll be able to translate a 50k+ words game by myself ever again.
Like "Onee-san x Shuffle! ~Tomodachi no Onee-chan no Ecchi na Karada"?
DeleteYup! Exactly like that! Onee-san shuffle is a pretty good one.
DeleteTamago, with no exaggeration, I can say that you had made a dream come true. I have been wanting to play this game for almost 20 years since I first saw the og anime. Bought the original artwork during a trip to Japan and tried to find the game, but could not. Now it exists translated and without issues of running in modern hardware. You are doing god's work. Thank you 🙏
