Hello! I hoped to convert this game into Chinese when I experienced the official vision of this game first. As a Chinese Touhou fan. I extremely want to share it with other people who love the Touhou. But I had some trouble in this process. Besides, I just a senior high student now. So there are may be many grammar problem in my expression（xx

Due to China's boarding school schedule, email would be the most reliable way for me to respond promptly. May I contact you at 1689829501@qq.com? Thank you for your consideration!

Hello! thank you for your message, It makes me happy to see you are excited. However I must say currently somebody has already contacted us to translate the game to Chinese.

Oh, I know. I just want to make a video that sort out the plot of the story in Chinese Internet. Besides, I mean to study some translation methods of game by the work（Hifuu Club had great significance to me）

The most problem I met is how to add fout to game. I asked a friend who had Chinesization experience. But he was not familier with GameMaker engine. So I plan to consult with you.（xx

oh, you are free to make any video you desire. Hifuu club is also very dear to me. And my apologies, I don't really understand about what you mean.

The previous message was sent in my commuting time last week. I had to prepare for a chemistry competition. So I’m sorry that I didn’t have enough time to check my words that time

Just as said before, I tried to translate the game. But when I altered the text in the game. It couldn't displayed the Chinese characters. I realized it was missing a Chinese font（I’m sorry that I failed to spell the“font”correctly in previous message.）

Now I take some progress of my problem. I study the solutions of them. I just need to know which version of GameMaker was used to create the game（Because I have never communicated informally with foreign friends before, there are many logical error in my expression. Sorry!!）

I'm grateful to your reply.

we have gamemaker v2023.11.1.129.

Your english is pretty good, don't worry, I'm not a native english speaker too. And once again, someone already contacted us for a Chinese translation. So maybe is better to wait a little instead of trying to do it yourself. Still thank you very much, it feels so good to see this level of passion. I hope you enjoyed the game, or do if when you play it if you haven't yet.

Thanks for your advice. I enjoyed a complete playthrough of the game during the Chingming Festival. I just have some thoughts of my own. So I decided to try by myself. Curiosity, exploration‌ and discovery are fundamental desires of humans. They’re the strongest spirit I felt in stories of Hifuu Club.

That's a very beautiful way of saying it. I'm glad you liked it, it really makes me happy.

Hello. I'm the programmer in charge for the game. When you mentioned the missing Chinese characters, that made me curious which build did you alter.

If it's okay, can I ask whether you altered the full version or the demo (if it's demo, did you use the CN version)?

The font configuration in the Chinese version is different than the others, so altering it should work just fine but not for the other builds.

Looking forward for your reply!

I'm very glad to receive your message. I altered the full version that I downloaded on Steam. There were no Chinese characters in that version.

Thank you for your reply. That make sense why there are missing characters then. I'm currently working on a system to make the localization easier for the game. The font for Chinese will be supported too once everything is done.

Looking forward to your achievements! I believe that one day, we shall cross the boundaries of language and culture. Just like the second sentence on the Tiananmen gatetower of our capital.
