Game Description

Spoiler

The Yupitel Empire is threatened by Taranis, a devil. People try to get rid of them, but they finally surrender... Some time later, a sacrifice ceremony is held. Three princesses go to the Taranis's castle as a sacrifice, but they secretly carry a weapon without knowing it will cause a nightmare...

Patch Description

A mostly functional patch for the interface of Venus Blood -Chimera-. This patch does not translate the story, only most everything else.

In what seems to be a trend, I had finished 95% of this patch around the time I released the Venus Blood -Desire- patch, and kinda lost interest in it until I decided to finish it up a few days ago. As noted in my other patch, I do not actually speak Japanese and this patch represents a lot of tedious work using multiple translation programs, dictionaries, and wikis. The same caveats about accuracy apply.

Unlike Desire and later entries in the series, Chimera and its predecessor the original Venus Blood do not contain the strategy game elements and are much simpler training slgs. And somehow despite of being a simpler game, it managed to be 10x more annoying to format the text, as the interface is uniquely designed to be unaccommodating to the longer English text. Also, every single item and every character combination had its own image, each with 3 or more colour variants, leading to an absurd amount of image editing.

I had been intending to do a Venus Blood patch, but after looking through the files, it appears that almost the entire interface is baked in images in a really annoying font, so I'll probably skip it and go straight to Venus Blood -Empire-.

A note on names: Nothing all that interesting other than most of the names in this game appear to come from Irish mythology.

If you have any corrections, suggestions, bug reports, or whatever, feel free to post them.

Progress

The Interface Patch is complete at version 1.0. Only any editing and bug fixing I didn't catch remains. No translation of the story is planned, though if anyone would like to give it a shot, I'll lend whatever aid I can.
