Amayui Castle Meister - Main Game Dialogue Patch

Approximately 7 months have passed since I released the Append Supplement Patch for Amayui Castle Meister. As promised, I have finished incorporating the rest of my subtitle submissions on VisualNovelReader and have a patch available for those who wish to play Amayui with all dialogue, excluding sex scenes, "translated" into English. Together with the Append Supplement Patch, the amount of patched dialogue is significantly more than what ZAP's Pre-Release 2 patch has to offer.

Here are some additional details about this patch:

• Based on rough estimates, this patch and the Append Supplement Patch cover about 85% of all dialogue. This is an adjustment from my estimate of 90% in a past article.
• A little over 25,000 lines of dialogue are covered by both this patch and the Append Supplement Patch.
• As mentioned before, this patch covers all dialogue except for sex scenes, making it a comprehensive patch when it comes to understanding the game's story (hopefully).
• The base translation used is machine translation. I ran lines through Google Translate and used a dictionary as an aid to decipher what was being said. I then produced and submitted what I hope are grammatically correct sentences (with some exceptions).
• Furthermore, I tried to improve upon what I originally submitted using VisualNovelReader, so translation accuracy should be much better now on VNR and for this patch.
• This will also translate some interface elements not translated by ZAP's Interface Patch. Specifically, all the map objective updates and dialogue choices have been translated since they are part of the game's dialogue files.
• This is my first time trying to develop this sort of thing. This patch may cause the game to crash. If this happens to you, please let me know with details regarding the crash so I can fix it. For example, saying which scene you were trying to view as well as providing screenshots or dialogue lines relating to the crash will help me fix the issue sooner.
• Also let me know if I made any typos or the like - I will fix them. On the other hand, I may not fix mistranslations unless they are egregiously bad.

Patch Download and Installation

Download link for both patches

These patches are installed in the same way as ZAP's patches. 

1. Download the patches you want from the linked folder.
2. Then, install all append content and official patches in the appropriate order (Append 1, official patch, Append 2-5). 
3. Next, back up any .BIN and .AGF files by copying them into a separate directory.
4. Afterwards, install the ZAP Interface Patch and Prologue Patch by copying the necessary files into the game folder, overwriting as needed. 
5. Next, copy the patch files from the folders linked above into the game folder, overwriting as needed. 
6. Finally, if you prefer to view ZAP's Pre-Release 2 dialogue patch contents, copy the contents of that folder into the game folder, overwriting as needed. Note that you may want to install the ZAP Prologue Patch after the Pre-Release 2 patch because it has fewer text issues.

Credits

This patch would not have been possible without the help of a number of people.

• Chazu, for helping me get in contact with Yuuko Shionji.
• Yuuko Shionji, for providing advice on translation work (including a bit of TLC) and getting me in contact with FlamePaladin.
• FlamePaladin, for providing the tools that made this possible and also for giving some advice on how to patch Eushully games.
• Asmodean and SaintLouisX, for making the tools that were used.
• Lysander, for improving upon a number of my VNR submissions with his own and giving me some translation advice.
• The Eushully Crew Discord, for offering moral support and a platform to promote the patch.

Additional Info

When it comes to Amayui-related work, I will now be focusing on the wiki once again to populate it with more useful info such as maps. This may take some time since I will be taking a bit of a break from this project. Also, I still have no plans on patching the game's sex scenes unless there's absurd demand among other factors.

Finally, I am not sure what I'll be doing for the recently announced sequel, Amayui Labyrinth Meister. I will probably contribute to the wiki and I am considering an Interface Patch, but I am not committed to working on it yet. Until then...

Update: I've learned that the ZAP Prologue Patch may not display text properly for some players. I have fixed this patch (with permission from Yuuko Shionji) to follow the same printing standard as my patch (which is based on other patches such as the one for Kamidori). Please download the Prologue Patch Revision folder in the same download link above if you're having these issues or want dialogue history to not look terrible.

Also, I fixed a bunch of typos and game crashing issues since the patch was released. Such updates will be happening on an almost daily basis, so please check the download link often if you want the most recent version of the patch.

Update 2: ZAP's dialogue translation project is officially considered dead. I was approached by Zoltanar with a request to link to my patch, which I accepted. I was hoping that they would translate the sex scenes, but I may now consider doing them instead.

Update 3: Pretty late on this (seriously, it's 5/17 when I made this update) but I did finish translating the sex scenes and I won't be making a post on it. Instead, I will be making one when the Interface Patch revision that's going on is finished, which in turn will allow me to properly announce a truly "Complete English Translation" release for Amayui.
