I just clear this game, and it's a very, very fun game!

Although the game engine is a bit old (honestly I was under the impression that RPG XP had even been a popular engine when I was in middle school around 2008...)

But I have to say the combat mechanics are very interesting, I like the idea of getting an extra turn of action after attacking a weak point, and the whole battle is very relaxing and enjoyable.

Plot-wise it's even more awesome.

It's also very full of content, so if you can get some basic Japanese, I highly recommend it.



=================================================


But unfortunately, if your computer's language is not Japanese, your unzipping and running the game will be unsuccessful due to the garbled text, and the above error message will be displayed as a result.   ( ↑ like this screenshot)

This game is so good that I'm going to write a tutorial detailing how to run the game successfully.

First, 

  1.  Download the game ofc.  the unzip code is  namagusabouzu
  2. Then you need to install the unzip software(I installed the WinRAR,
    (More detailed tutorial here: https://www.windowsdigitals.com/extract-japanese-zip-files-winrar-7-zip/
  3. Right-click the zip or RAR archive, select “Show more options“, then select “Open with WinRAR“.

3.  In the WinRAR Extract dialog box, click “Options” from the menu bar and select Name encoding > ANSI/OEM Japanese. The file name containing Japanese characters should be corrected now.



4.If you unzip it successfully , then the correct filename should be as shown on the left, not the right.



5.

If you've successfully extracted the files, congratulations!

But that's not the end of it, we still need to make the game run in a Japanese environment.

So we need another tool to make it happen.

(The tool's info : https://github.com/xupefei/Locale-Emulator

6.Right-click the game.exe and choose this one

To 七竜:

Hi author, 

I apologize for completing your game through translation software, I don't understand Japanese myself so I can only write this in English.

I really like your game!

I'm very surprised how well this game is finished with only the first chapter.

I love Soujin, I love your art style and smooth pixel animations, I love the battle system of this game, and I really like how the game plays out.

But there seems to be quite a few bugs because the engine is a bit old. 


Here are some of the BUGs I found:

1: When 火鬼Kaki joins the party, if you don't leave the forest by "leaving the forest directly", but instead choose to "walk back to the entrance" first,then end your quest, the game will start the day over again. Then the game will restart the cycle for that day instead of continuing the game normally.

2.

The game crashes when you fight the 鬼闘士タカアキ

The error report shows that the file "Graphics\Pictures\カットイン-準備中" is missing.  

3.

The game crashes when you first received a text message from 光 on your cell phone.

The error report shows that the file "Audio\SE\swing25_c.wav" is missing.

4. 

The game crashes when you enter the Golden Maze and encounter the Minotaur.

The error report shows that the file "Audio\SE\step09r.wav" is missing.

Caroさん

初めまして! ゲームを遊んでいただいて、本当にありがとうございます! 蒼仁を気に入っていただけて嬉しいです! また、ドット絵やバトル、ストーリーも楽しんでいただけたようで本当に嬉しいです!

バグに関しまして。 ご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ありません。

3、4に関しましては対応済みで、次回のパッチで解消されるかと思います。

2に関しまして、バトルイベントがテスト仕様のままになっていたことと、カットインのデータが片方足りなかったことが原因でした。 ご報告ありがとうございます!

1に関しまして、こちらで再確認してみましたが、どうしても再現されませんでした。 可能でしたらもう少し詳しく教えて頂けますでしょうか? もし、そのエラーの起こる直前のセーブデータがありましたら、送っていただければこちらで改めて確認してみます。

Mr. Caro

nice to meet you! Thank you very much for playing the game! I’m glad you like Soujin! Also, I’m really happy that you enjoyed the pixel art, battles, and story!

Regarding bugs. I’m sorry for causing you trouble.

Issues 3 and 4 have been addressed and I think they will be resolved in the next patch.

Regarding 2, the cause was that the battle event was still a test version, and one of the cut-in data was missing. Thank you for your report!

Regarding 1, I tried reconfirming it here, but it was not reproduced. If possible, could you please tell me more details? If you have any save data from before the error occurred, please send it to me and I will check it again.

Yeah, sure.
Here is the save file when I met the 1st bug.

I am sorry for my late reply. Thank you very much for data!

I checked this data and was able to confirm the bug you mentioned. It was an error in manipulating variables on the event page. Thank you for your report!

I will upload the correction patch in the next update, so please wait for a while!

Can you tell me what software I can use to play it translated? I'm unable to read Japanese, but I really want to try the game out.
