Thracia 776: Lil' Manster

What it is

Lil' Manster grew out of the earlier Project Exile fan translation of Thracia 776. Miacis and team took that script, translated the menu text and leftovers it had missed, fixed lines that were wrong, and went over the graphics so that dialogue, interface, menus and graphical text are all in English.

What's new

Beyond the text, the patch adds easier-to-read fonts, a cleaned-up interface, fixes for small graphical glitches and a set of quality-of-life tweaks for a game that is famously demanding. The full list of changes is on the project's thread.

For modders

The team later published the project's build files on GitHub (Lil-Manster-Public), with the scripts, tables and tools needed to make other translations or mods from the same base.
