Daichi-kun Crisis: Do Natural English translation
大地くんクライシス Do Natural · Daichikun Crisis
washbear's work-in-progress English hack of Salio's oddball PC Engine farming strategy game, with the interface, help tooltips and much of the dialogue already in English.
What's translated
The project started at the beginning of 2026 and has been updated steadily since. The patch already covers the main interface, the market and item tooltips, the in-game help, the grandfather's per-island advice, item messages, save messages and many of the character lines, and the ending text has been transcribed for translation. Some miscellaneous strings are still waiting to be inserted, so expect leftover Japanese.
Under the hood
The game draws its text with separate katakana and hiragana fonts and puts voicing marks on a line of their own above the text, which makes inserting English awkward. The repository documents the encoding and includes the creator's text dumper and the translated scripts.
Playing it
The patch is applied to your own copy of the Japanese HuCard following the notes in the repository. Credit goes to washbear (alarixnia on GitHub).
