Gensou Maden Saiyuuki Retribution: Hi no Ataru Basho de English translation
幻想魔伝最遊記 Retribution ～陽のあたる場所で～
An AI-made English patch for the Japan-only Saiyuki board game on WonderSwan Color, where every line of text had to be redrawn as graphics.
What's translated
The game has no text engine: every word is stored as a picture. All of them were redrawn in English, from the story scenes, the ending and the Blackjack lines to what Sanzo, Goku, Gojyo and Hakkai say at the stalls, the board events, the HUD and its menus, the event cards, the results screens and the save screens. The official English Saiyuki names are used.
How it was made
mariovirgili says the translation and the graphics work were done entirely by AI (Claude), with a second AI pass checking the lines against the Japanese, as a personal project. Expect rough spots.
