Visual Novel with translator support group
For anyone who enjoyed MC Visual Novels and novice indie games with related theme, the departure of Visual Novel Reader (VNR) was a huge loss in 2019. With games mainly written in Japanese, without the ability to use machine translation on the go proves to be a challenge to most readers. Luckily, apparently there are some community project continuing VNR's path, and I would like to share what I've found for you guys, also encouraging others to share theirs here.

Note: plz only stick with free game and tools only, plz respect any paid contents and don't share cracked merchandised games here.

The Hypno MC content creator Inikanata recently started making games again, and I have found a way to hook and translate on the fly, it's been so long since the death of VNR that we can read any proper visual novels with translation.

you can get the game from here, use google translate, create an account, follow ini's account then download the stuff. He has 2 free games made with Tyrano+ recently and one old game for purchase which have no way to hook translate as of now:

ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1029/article/825205 : parody of princess connect anime
ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1029/article/740177 :
parody of SAO

tools:
Universal text hooker: www.reddit.com/r/visualno...script_based_text_hooker/
download here in Assets: github.com/0xDC00/agent/releases/

Instruction:
- unzip to your desired storage location and run the agent-v0.1.3-win32-x64/agent.exe,

- on the script row, choose the right most dropbox and choose Update scripts, this would download all the currently available hooking scripts, this thing could work with ds roms, specific pc games, and games made by certain tools

- as Initanaka's game are made with Tyrano+ => first choose the Target, link to the game's exe file => then type Tyrano in the script text box, choose PC Javascript Tyrano+ => press Attach => the game will be started by the tool and have hook and translator attached to it, now you can just play the game with Jap->Eng translation

- note: ctrl + alt + E will open a hovering frame on top of the game with better visualization, one downside is the frame is kind of covering the game window, making you impossible to click on the window, I think it's a bug for now, you can ctrl alt E again to turn it off.

Environment: Windows 11 64bits

After VNR went under I started using textractor, been pretty happy with it, especially since it does both the text extraction and translation all in one package.
Not getting very many updates as of late but I'm using a version from 2020 and it's worked pretty well for most titles I've played.
