Hey all, first and foremost if you were charged for June 2021, please submit a refund request now. I put the Patreon on hold back in April however I didn't realize I would need to do this every month. You only have 90 days from June 1st, so please do so at your earliest convince. I apologize for that.
As f...
2021-06-25 22:16:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I hope you're all doing alright! I've finally got another patch release. I'm going to talk in depth about what happened over the past 5 months below, but if you'd like, as always you can just skip that and download the patch.
Alright, so there's a lot to talk about. Let's start with what happened back...
2020-09-23 02:25:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone, I hope you are all doing well with the way things are in the world right now. I know it's been quite some time since I've updated you on what's going on. I was extremely busy during April-June with the end of last semester's classes and unfortunately I've been having some personal problems the past few months as well. I apologize fo...
2020-09-02 18:19:54 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, as I said back in January, I took a month off! The February/March patch is a combined patch and hopefully will come out within the week! I'm still working on getting the keyboard reimplemented. It's quite difficult even using texture assets from Animal Crossing!
I just wanted to give a small update! Hope everything is going w...
2020-04-06 19:07:34 +0000 UTC View PostAs I said before, I plan on taking about a one month break (I'll probably still work on the translation, I just won't feel the need to produce a patch haha) after New Horizons releases.
So, I thought it'd be a good idea to ask you all what YOU want to see in the February patch. I already have roughly 200 new dialogs (haven't counted them y...
2020-03-10 02:09:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I'm sure a lot of you ran into the nasty crash present in January's patch. That was entirely my fault. I forgot to adjust the data blob offsets after changing the size of the "Present" string in the inventory! It was a HUGE amount of work to adjust the offsets (there were easily a few hundred to update and verify), but the crash is...
2020-03-09 20:33:32 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, hope you enjoyed the Animal Crossing: New Horizons direct! I personally think the game looks amazing! I'll be super interested in writing a save editor for it. Anyways, let's talk about this month's patch!
First of all, I apologize for the delay in the patch release. I reverted a few changes I made very early on that are still cau...
2020-02-21 05:15:44 +0000 UTC View PostHey again everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday season! As many of you may know, I released the first public in-progress patch earlier in January. I do want to make it clear that I have no intention of releasing the monthly patches to the public. I simply wanted to show the progress that had been made in the past two years!
That's n...
2020-01-10 20:03:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, I hope everyone enjoyed the Harvest Festival! It's only be a couple of weeks since the last patch release, but I want to get back on the 1st-of-the-month cycle. That means this month's changes are going to be on the lighter side. I've been spending a lot of time studying for the end of the semester and working on a new tool for t...
2019-12-01 21:20:21 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, let me start by saying that releases happening mid-month is NOT going to become the norm. The past month has been incredibly busy for me and I didn't feel like enough was translated to release during the beginning of November. The additional week has given me time to translate another 150 dialogs!
I also want to talk a bit ab...
2019-11-11 19:08:25 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time for another revision! There were a few more crashes caused by bad offsets in code that I implemented after adding the logo. I've solved all the crashes I could find, so it should be in the same playable state as August's patch! I apologize for letting those crashes slip by me. I'll make sure to do more thorough testing in the future! 2019-10-18 15:49:19 +0000 UTC View Post
It came to my attention that a game-breaking bug was introduced in the last patch. The item name function's offsets were corrupted by the additional space taken up by the new logo, and was crashing the game! This post contains an updated version of this month's patch with a fix for the crash! I can't believe I didn't catch that one! Let me know ...
2019-10-09 22:22:30 +0000 UTC View PostAs promised, I'm back with the goods today! Undoubtedly this has been one of the most frustrating parts of the translation. While it may not seem that difficult at first, translating the simple title screen logo took somewhere around 200 hours between reverse engineering formats, making custom rendering & utility tools, and actually translat...
2019-10-08 22:13:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! This month's patch release is going to be released on Tuesday, October 8th. I apologize for delaying it, but I will be out of town for a funeral starting today through the 6th. I sadly don't have time to finish it up today before leaving. I made it a goal to finish translating the title screen before the patch was released, and aft...
2019-10-03 18:23:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe final summer patch is here! August has been an incredibly busy month for me. During the beginning of the month I moved, I got a new job, and now I'm back to attending university. All that means that this month's patch is a bit on the smaller side, but don't let that worry you! There are still some great changes!
I don't have time this ...
2019-09-01 19:24:34 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the things that annoys me the most about the original games is Blather's blather when you donate an insect... The slow dialog that he repeats each.. and.. every.. time.. I've always wished I could just do away with it. So, I've got a poll for you all!
I've got a few ideas on how to change it! Please pick an option...
2019-08-21 00:52:57 +0000 UTC View PostA little known feature in e+ is the ability to import players from a Doubutsu no Mori+ save file present on the same memory card. It's very similar to City Folk's Wild Wold player move feature.
Would you like to see it changed to allow for importing from Animal Crossing instead? I've already translated all the associated d...
2019-08-02 15:12:13 +0000 UTC View PostThis month's patch brings some big changes behind the scenes through massive code rewrites. As I promised in June's patch release post, I dedicated most of my available time this month to fixing code bugs and localizing code where I could. I'm going to talk about the changes in depth, so feel free to skip that if it doesn't interest you.
C...
2019-08-01 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I've finished up July's patch and scheduled it to be released automatically on August 1st! I'm currently in the process of moving, and may not have access to a stable internet connection until August 4th. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to reply to them when I have time between now and then. I hope you enjoy this month's...
2019-07-28 17:13:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone. In the past few months, quite a few people have asked me if there is any public version of the patch available. While I still intend to release a full public patch by the end of the year, I began thinking of a way to give back to the community in the meantime. Originally I thought about releasing the previous month's patch to the p...
2019-07-10 21:09:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, it's time for this month's patch release! I know it's a bit late, and I apologize for that. I was away for a week for personal reasons. Anyways, this patch isn't the largest but it does have some great changes! I won't be going in depth with this month's changes because the code changes I worked on are honestly uninteresting.
Hey all. A severe bug was found in Patch #13 that caused item names to become garbage. This patch fixes that bug! Hopefully no other severe effects appear from the removal of Kanji. Sorry for any inconvenience!
2019-06-10 19:28:00 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate: Please download Patch #14 instead. This patch contains a severe bug that causes item names to become garbled.
Hey everyone! May's patch is finally here. I apologize for it's lateness, but I have resolved the space issue! I spent a ton of time coming up with a few solutions to the problem, which I will talk about la...
2019-06-09 20:24:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I've got some slightly bad news for this months patch. I've hit the size limit for files that are stored in the GameCube's secondary RAM area. I'm going to talk a bit about it in depth below. For those of you who just want to know when this month's patch will release, I'll get to the point. I'm not sure. I had quite a bit more free...
2019-06-06 00:20:18 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! It's that time of the month again (well, a few days late but I promise it was for good reason!)
The patch was delayed because I ran into a pretty major game crash that I had to resolve before releasing this month's patch. I apologize for the delay! Also, I'm going to go in-depth about something I've had on my mind. If you'd r...
2019-05-04 08:41:25 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone. I apologize for the delay in posting this month's patch. I didn't want to release it on April 1st as it was April Fools, and I ended up being unable to release it yesterday.
Before we get into the details of this month's patch, I want to address an issue with it. $20 supporters who need their names added to t...
2019-04-03 18:36:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt came to my attention that a few people were having issues with Forest Patcher on Windows 7. After troubleshooting with someone that has Windows 7, I was able to identify and fix the issue!
If the patcher was not working for you before, please redownload this month's patch zip file! It has an updated version of the patcher th...
2019-03-02 05:12:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! It's March now. The snow has finally melted away and the world is now green! Spring is almost here in the world of Animal Crossing. Next month will mark the one year anniversary of this Patreon! I've been hard at work this past month with a few major changes. While only one is ready to show off, the next few months will be exciting...
2019-03-01 06:11:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season and your new year is going well thus far! Today I'm bringing you the ninth patch release and the first of 2019! As always thanks for your continued support. There are about 2,000-3,000 dialogs for quests. Once quests are translated, we will be around 70-75% done with dialog! Feb...

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a good holiday season! Hopefully this month's translation patch will bring you some extra joy! While I initially wanted to focus on cleaning up, I got engrossed in translating and ended up transla...
