I just found a DS game that stores its text as a regular text file. zero effort to modify it...
almost tempting to translate it. you'd just need someone who speaks German to translate it and someone to modify the graphics. I'd be useless
(however, the game sucks)
@onfy hallo
@onfy okay maybe I shouldn't get into a translation project for a game I don't care about
@noiob lol
well if you do decide to the game's text amounts to about 8kb
but I probably wouldn't want to work on it until next year
@noiob and fwiw I haven't read the books but Hexe Lilli really is a good cartoon
@onfy oh I know Hexe Lilli ofc
@onfy actually completely forgot about it but I probably read most of the books
@noiob I wonder how much they differ, I know the art style is different (I'm not sure there's English translations)
@noiob I'm afraid since I grew up with the cartoon the old designs look wrong to me
@noiob why so many witch books anyway? there's this, Bibi Blocksberg, at least one more I'm sure...
@onfy kids getting some kind of awesome superpower and going on adventures is like half of all children's literature and this was the time when kid's books with strong female leads got pretty popular, being a witch just makes sense
I think its especially funny that Bibi Blocksberg's mom is like this super powerful witch with a whole coven and her dad is just some normal guy who loves his family
@noiob you have a point, and it's funny because here most of the series with girls flopped...
it also seems common to have one parent be some random boring person who does nothing lol
@noiob hm, maybe it works in reverse!
@onfy they used to look like this in my childhood and the new versions/adaptations all look wrong
