Does anyone here know about these games?
Towelket is a series of RPG Maker games inspired by MOTHER, with surreal, philosophical, and horrific themes. Currently, there are six games, and four spin-off titles.
Recently, a few people have started work on translating the series. If you can aide with the translation, feel free to join the IRC:
irc://irc.rizon.net/towelketEnglish wiki with more information:
http://www49.atwiki.jp/towelketranslation/ No.1558
I heard about it a good while ago (I'm guessing 2-3 years ago) being referenced alongside Yume Nikki and (I think) Ao Oni, so I guess you could say I know about it, though it looks like you know more than me; I had thought there were only 4 games, and had no idea anyone was working on translating the series. Pretty nice to know I'm wrong on both of those, though!

If anyone's still interested, translation has been progressing for Towelket 3. You can download the game s here :

>>2615I'm unaware on the status on 3 (which is actually the first game), but 1 (the first game, which I posted screenshots of) has been translated up to start of chapter four. Some of the text gets cut off and there are a few bits of untranslated dialogue, but that will be fixed later down the line. You can get it here:

>>3215You know how xenophobic the Japanese are? It's probably related to that. Why would some glorious Nipponese man want a gaijin to touch his glorious Nipponese game intended for other glorious Nipponese?
Or maybe the Japanese have really different takes on fame and the like. Maybe the author is a hipster who wants his game to stay as underground as possible. Maybe he really is
sensitive to fan works and fan art makes him cry.
I wish I could ask him myself.

The translation is done. However, it has not been edited so expect some typos or errors.

No.3267
>>3266Thanks for the hard work! A couple of things I noticed (I played only the intro part):
- Can the naming screen be fixed to include the English alphabet? Or if that's too difficult, leave it out and just use the character's official name.
- The title of the first chapter (I think - it was a huge white text on a black background) wasn't translated.
No.3290
>>3266Oh man thanks guys. I've been waiting for translations of these games for so long.

>>3267It can't be changed so it's been removed.
The chapter images were also translated now, with the text added by another.
>>3266It's been almost a year, but I edited it so all the text should be on the screen and typos should be nearly or completely non-existent. Writing might still be a little weird because no one has looked over it but me, and my concern was with translating more so than making it pretty.
This is essentially the final version, unless I really need to change something.

Creator of the wikia and the IRC channel here. I'll be uploading the translation of Towelket 1 again after me and the translator managed to fix the issue with japanese particles in the battle text. I'll also be updating the wikia page with more content since I finally got around to playing the first game of the series (Towelket 3).
And maybe I'll start working on Towelket 2 after I finish all games in the series (originally, I was supposed to be translating it, but I was horrible at japanese back then). I'll make some kind of wordpress or tumblr blog to post about updates on the translations when I start.
Stay Tuned.

No.5047
>>3743It's because of Towelket 2.
After commentary/gameplay videos of it went online, the creator thought it misrepresented the game and despised the fact it was compared to Yume Nikki and labeled as a depression game.
To this day, if you google 鬱ゲー (depression game), Towelket 2 will show up quite often in the results. I think the reason why Towelket 1 ended up being so different is likely due to the reception 2 got.
The darkest entry in the series, Fury was also deleted from everywhere.
That one is the real masterpiece of the series in my opinion. The creator and her mental issues take center stage over the story and characters. It becomes a way to channel her disillusionment with women and their place in society. It's fucking mental.
Probably nobody cares about the series or this thread anymore.
Hopefully the rest of the games get translated someday.

>>5444nice get. Right now I'm doing it with RPGMakerTransv4.5, which is so easy a techlet like me can use it.
So far it's going well, but I'm a little worried about…
-the alien and Elizabeth dialogue. The aliens often use fairly complicated technobabble, while Elizabeth uses a very sarcastic style I'm not sure I can translate right.
-the honorifics and pronouns, should I keep them, translate them awkwardly or try to rewrite them to something more natural? See in the pic, Paripariume says "Obasan…" referring to the protag's mother. This happens a lot and I wonder if I should just go the "Witch Hunt way" and leave all anatas, obasans and oneesans in.
-same for Japanese standard phrases, if I rewrite every ara ara to oh my, this game will say Oh my a lot.
on the technical side, it bothers me that I can't find the string for "enemy defeated", as you see it's still in Japanese. Do I need to install RPGmaker for this?

>>5448 No.5451
>>5449You can help by proofreading or helping to tune the translations. Believe me, sometimes, when we are trying to translate things, we tend to go a little too literal (because we're trying to bend the target language so it approaches the original text), even though there may be more natural ways of sayings something in the target language. Having someone pointing things out and criticizing the translation makes a much better product after a few iterations.
Plus, the more people that test the game before release, the better things turn out since we're able to fish bugs out and make sure everything works as intended.
>>5450I made a separate channel for towelket in that discord channel in order to dump assets/files and another for discussion (if anyone else wants to join).

TK1 translator here. I intend to toss TK1 into the English version of RPGMaker 2000 at some point so I can have all the battle text in English and restore the name choosing dialogue, but haven't had the effort to make sure it doesn't break anything yet. I'm translating Warawau now, though I'm not even at map 100 yet(out of 341, although there's only about 300 with any sort of text in them), but maybe I'll get motivated soon. I don't really intend to release anything before I'm done. After that, if I feel like still translating, I might do 3 if it isn't done by someone by then, although I'm not sure what the differences between the original and remake are and if I should only bother with the latter.
There was some mention of Warawau being translated and needing proofreading, and while I don't know for sure, I feel like it's referring to a "cleaned up" Google translation someone did of it, which I do have, but is of course mostly nonsensical.
It's been a long time since I started and I notice the author seems to have sometimes written names with Roman characters in the more recent games. Is there a list of author Romanized names of the major reoccurring characters?
No.5470
>>5469PPU that you?
It has been forever but is good to know you are working on Warawau.
That translation of Warawau should be discarded though, it was done on Google translate so it is quite useless.

>although I'm not sure what the differences between the original and remake are and if I should only bother with the latter. I only played the original 3 to completion.
The Karaage Tanpopo RPGmaker 2000 version is the one with a partial translation afaik.
As for the MV remake, I only played the trial version from the dev's website. Judging from the first chapter, it has new scenes, new characters, new character designs for the old characters (wow the male protagonist really looks like a girl there) and most importantly a revamped battle system. Up to 6 characters in battle and they act when their action bar is filled up (sort of like in Touhou Labyrinth). They also have limit break attacks and such.
Can't help you with the name thing though. With some names I don't even begin to have an idea how to romanize them. Just look at this.

Yeah エールエア looks like a complete nonsense name to me. Eeruea? I thought Ellea would be a compromise that isn't a pain to say out loud.
Sera is clear, the only guys I'm still wondering about are "Krishe" クリシェ and "Zukke" ズッケ.
Krishe is supposed to be a cypress according to the pixiv wiki…
Zukke might actually be "Zucche", which is Italian for pumpkins . What do you think?
No.5520
>>5519Strait up googling クリシェ brings up cliche, but I'm not entirely sure that's it. I did the same for エールエア too and found nothing so unless we get an official romanization anything goes for those two. If you ask me Krishe and Ellea sound fine but a second opinion wouldn't hurt. As for ズッケ I think either of those two work though I've always been referring to him as Zukke in my head.
Speaking of nonsense names though some of the characters that show up in the later games really do have some out there names. Like うぃけちゅけなっつりここなっつぃー who shows up in Yoru no Umi and Yorumorukimiri or Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon from Shippoutachi no Kizuna. Yes there is a character named after a Marilyn Manson song.
http://mizunokuntaoru2.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-18.html No.5521
The long vowel in katakana works to cover for unvoiced letters in a word (picture シャーク、チョーク、ゴール), so yeah, Ellea works for エールエア [Which should be pronounced as Ell'ea]. クリシェ makes me wonder if maybe there's some reference, but considering names as this one

I'm not sure how done I am, as I jump around sometimes when I need a break from text heavy maps and a large amount of maps have basically nothing but item gathering points on them. I've found motivation recently so it will probably progress faster than it has been going.

Just finished playing the first three games and absolutely loved them. Just wondering though, are there multiple endings for any of the first three games?

But if you stay at Poppichi's workshop, the remodeled Pucchi will die in the Kisechu ambush, becoming Reincarnated Pucchi. The problem of choosing living Pucchi is that you won't get the scene of Pon Groom sleeping together with Conchelle.>>5587OK, I re-upped it on my mediafire account and also mirrored it on MEGA, wiki links have been updated too

Towelket 2 and 3 have received a significant update: the games now use the official English RPG_RT for RPG Maker 2000. That means no more hiragana/katakana naming screens, no more untranslated Japanese words in battles! Towelket 2's script has also been overhauled.

It looks like old save files uses the old database and reference the wrong asset names, that's why the game can't find those "mojibake assets" shown above. My first two screenshots show old savegames in the new translation, the third screenshot shows how it is when you start from the beginning. I'm afraid you need to start over or continue playing the old translation (or edit your savefile, I think vgperson's tool can do it but I don't know if it can fix a database error
https://vgperson.com/posts.php?p=rpgmakerguide).
If just you want to reach chapter 4 quickly, you can open the game in test play mode, start a new game and add 3 "Gonna Die Pillow" items to your inventory to make yourself temporarily overpowered.

Everyone, Towelket Reverse a.k.a. Towelket 6 English translation is nearly done. I'll share the to-do list of the Patchy Illusion Team:
1. First translation of all text, interface, events (this is finally done - Wasshoi!)
we are here -→2. fixing spelling mistakes, dealing with awkward sentences/puns etc.
3. inserting the TL with RPGMakerTrans
4. offering a DL with the Japanese RPG_RT for those who want to continue their 50% partial savegame
5. renaming the assets to change the Japanese filenames
6. testing if nothing broke
7. checking for further bugs and glitches, TK6 has more of them than the previous games. Making a "bugfix patch" of sorts that removes/changes the "empty text bubbles" etc.
8. providing "bugfix files" with the upload
9. FIN
additional tasks
- contacting the author - I've wrote the author yesterday and got the answer "I have no problems translating my work" - however, Towelket 5, 6 and fury are no longer distributed on vector/freem, to ask him how he feels about the English TL of TK6 being passed around, a game that was supposed to disappear from the internet.
- changing the rather small and ugly font (see 2nd pic), Chesir is working on it rn

Towelket Reverse/6 translation is complete. I've decided to share the translated game now, though it is still in need of editing and checking for errors. The team will continue making improvements to the script in the next few weeks.
Note that this uses the Japanese RPG_RT and RTP! So for those users who played the partial translation, I think it should be fine to copy over your save file. Have fun

Some stuff in it is accurate but it's got a fair amount of misinformation too. For example the character page lists Nekoashi Otome as the protagonist of 5 even though she doesn't actually show up in that game. The first game Otome showed up in is Kaiketsu! Nekoashi Otome-chan and that game came out after 5 did.

>>5645Hype!! Thank you so much for your work!!
No.5654
>>5651Nice. It's a long way off before they're translated but I do have a few details for some of the later games. Yoru no Umi and Yorumorukimiri are heavily story based with virtually no combat. Yoru no Umi also has the highest amount of endings based on choices you made throughout the story and which girl you pick for your love interest. Yorumorukimiri on the other hand is the longest game in the series. This is only based on my personal experience but I'd say the average Towelket game is about 5 to 8 hours. Yorumorukimiri however took me over 40 hours to beat. That game has about 7 chapters and the majority of those chapters are made up of around 10 sub-chapters. The first chapter in particular has nearly 20 sub-chapters. So needless to say it's a long game.
As for the later 2 Yorumorukimiri games Shippoutachi no Kizuna is about a tanuki named Tantanuki who transfers to Deudeu Academy to acquire and learn how to use an angel. However Tantanuki and their friends are dragged into the academy's fight against the mysterious being Douke Neko/Jester Cat. It also overhauls the sprites for the battle and maps. I highly recommend playing it after Yorumorukimiri since it makes a lot of references to it that wouldn't be understood if you play it first. As for Hajimari no Shoujo that one is still in development so I don't really know anything about it.
Like 3 Yoru no Umi and Shippoutachi no Kizuna has a boy/girl option for the main character. Yoru no Umi basically becomes a yuri harem if you play as a girl.

>>5660Since Yorumoru is much newer compared to the rest of the series I don't think you'd be able to find much. Especially since you have you pay for it.

I added a few notes to the top:
>All the games are focused on story and character interactions. There isn't much combat in any of the games and there are no random encounters, all monsters are visible on the map as symbols.>Every game is in a "parallel world" and some characters appear in multiple games, but their role in the story, appearance and personality is often wildly different - it's kind of like in Zelda games.Afaik Towelket games share the universe, the mythology etc. but beyond that none of them are connected - the PPU of 2 isn't the same PPU of 4, right? Did I get anything wrong?
No.5663
>>5662I'd probably go with some games don't have much in the way of combat instead since it varies. None of them are all that hard but some games certainly have a bigger focus on combat than others.

>>5662>the PPU of 2 isn't the same PPU of 4, right? Did I get anything wrong?Considering the Moon Princess reincarnation thing, and the whole Chun and universe reset deal, it can be seen as there being some kind of cosmic wheel timeline, and soul recycling mechanics (One More Time)
