Yeux Morts: Dying Eyes in French!
« on: March 09, 2013, 10:32:05 pm »
Although this isn't really new, a French version of Dying Eyes was released publicly last Summer, but lost among many Omnimaga posts during a particularly quiet time of the year.



The Dying Eyes translation project began in 2009 after Halifax, a former Omnimaga staff, offered me help to release a translated version of the game. While I translated the entire game myself, I did not know ASM, so he sent me the text, I translated it, sent the result to him then he compiled it himself. However, it was much easier to beat so that I could easily check for text issues fast, plus display glitches were actually found, so that version was never released. Halifax disappeared entirely afterward.

The project resurfaced last Summer when Chickendude offered help. I posted the French text and the long-time ASM programmer posted a French version of the game. However, at that time I was very busy and lost track of the project. Since the Omnimaga game walkthroughs and secrets section isn't normally used for program releases, that program was easily missed and it took until today where I finally realize that a French version of Dying Eyes was actually out, ready to play.

In the animated screenshot, the OS version was 2.71MP. Interesting.
Due to dissatisfaction, I will be inactive on Omnimaga until further notice. (?? THP hasn't been much success and there's also the CE. I might possibly be here for a while.)
If you want to implore me to come back, or otherwise contact me, I can be found on GitHub (bluebear94), Twitter (@melranosF_), Reddit (/u/Fluffy8x), or e-mail (if you know my address). As a last resort, send me a PM on Cemetech (bluebear94) or join Touhou Prono (don't be fooled by the name). I've also enabled notifications for PMs on Omnimaga, but I don't advise using that since I might be banned.

If you've got an idea on how to best translate the menu, we can add that in easily enough. The reason it's not translated is because they're actually sprites, not text. I thought: "Statut", "Item/Objet", "Cherch" (i don't think chercher will fit) and "Magie"?

Actually as I mention in the other thread (Beating the game with 0 HP) Etat, Objets, Fouiller and Magie would work well. :)

Nice :D. That said I wonder if it should be uploaded anywhere as a port or something so it's more visible because it will most likely be lost again in the myriad of posts Omnimaga has :P First it might be good to have a readme in French, though, especially that the file name is different.

Sure, feel free to upload it anywhere, TI Planet seems like an obvious choice :)

Indeed. Ticalc might be nice as well but I'm unsure of their policies regarding uploading other people's programs. I know that ports are allowed, but what about translations? Are they considered as ports too?

Dunno, they don't really have a section for programs in different languages, if a program offers more than one language it's usually packed together in the same file. I guess we can just ask them what to do. There's also bug fixes and optimizations and things we could take care of. I always thought smoothscrolling would be a nice feature, too, and some of the menus aren't that pretty.

I will probably have to re-create a ticalc.org account :P (I no longer had one but that's another story)

As for such update I think it would have to be an entire game rewrite, regardless of if ASM/Axe/Grammer is used. Adding smooth scrolling and grayscale, along with better graphics in general would be nice.

I saw it first; by the way, why did it take four years to translate Dying Eyes to French?

2.71MP was an april fools prank in 2011 actually :P

It was a modified OS 2.55MP that crashes every few keypresses and had Output/Disp much slower than on the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition. It also didn't support parser hooks nor apps larger than 32 KB. It was a parody of TI's actions against Ndless back in the days.

As for why Dying Eyes took so long to be translated: It's because I was the only French-speaking Omnimaga member at the time who was interested in doing so, but sadly I did not know assembly. As a result, I had to get an actual ASM programmer to replace the text and re-compile the game for me. Then the guy disappeared completely.

Just wanted to make people wonder why :P (and to show people it's not all that bad, after all, as it can actually run some games :trollface:)
