FROM THE WORKBENCH

Project updates

  1. Translation complete — testing story branches

    Maintainer BrentW reports that translation is complete and story-branch testing is underway. No public patch download or release date is announced.

  2. Looking back before moving forward

    Historical sources and the official rerelease listing have been reviewed. No official English edition or complete/partial fan patch was verified in this search. That is an incomplete research result, not a claim that none exists or that this project would be first.

  3. A first look at the project

    Research-baseline website draft with an original title screen supplied for local design review. This is not a translation-progress or playability announcement.
