We’re kicking off 2024 with big updates!
Firstly, we’d like to announce our new project lead, Lynx. She is a well-known and trusted member within the YnS community, whose dedication to the project’s goals is commendable. It’s been a quiet few months, but we’ll be working hard as a community to bring you the same quality of updates you’ve expected of us over these long years.
Regarding HnS, Taiga managed to hit his goal by New Year, meaning Kozue has hit 75% completion! Head over to our Discord server to grab the latest patches.
The long drought in new anthology chapters has also ended, with the release of chapter 16 a few days ago. The translator and typesetter got busy, but we now have a small stockpile built up again, and releases should continue at the usual pace going forward.
One last thing worth mentioning: Sora’s route is now unlocked from the start of the game on digital patches for YnS!
Base and full patches
All of this being said, there’s also a major announcement regarding the patches themselves. Going forward, you will be presented with two types of patches for both editions of the game: base and full.
Base is virtually identical to the type of patch you played on up to this point.
Only the story itself and the GUI will be translated, and installation works the same as before.
Full is a patch made for those who want their game to be fully localized.
All visual elements in the game (CGs, title, etc.) will also be translated, but it may require extra steps to install depending on your edition of the game (see below).
For digital editions, everything is included in the archives distributed on our Discord server. Simply unpack the archive in your game’s installation folder and you’re all set.
For physical editions, things are a little different due the structure of the files. Archives distributed on our server only include files for the story and the GUI. You need to download supplementary files (links in the server) if you wish to have everything localized. You can keep installing subsequent updates to the game’s story without having to reinstall those.
Please note that all technical fixes mentioned in the previous blog post are included in the full patch, so you don’t have to choose between fixes or full localization. Also note that, due to temporary technical limitations, text for confirmation boxes is currently not translated in any physical patch.
See you next time!
