タオルケットをもう一度 (Towelket - One More Time) Anonymous 11/09/12 (Fri) 14:47:14 No. 1553 [Last 50 Posts]
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/towelket English wiki with more information:

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!

Wow! Thank you for the heads up, I've always wanted to play these game ever since I can across them a few months ago.

>>2615 I'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:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/foqwag You'll need to install the Japanese RPG maker runtime package to play these games. Get that here, and click on "Zip形式 2000rtp.zip（サイズ：11.7MB）": famitsu.com/freegame/rtp/2000_rtp.html
For updates, check out the Towelket thread on /jp/ (11142304).
Also, do not upload any videos of the gameplay. It goes against the author's wishes.

>>3215 You 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.

>>3266 Thanks 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.

Anonymous 02/23/15 (Mon) 06:11:12 No. 3713
>>3267 It can't be changed so it's been removed.
The chapter images were also translated now, with the text added by another.
>>3266 It'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.
This link isn't on the wiki because I'm just using it as a temporary for now.

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.
>>3743 Well, she's a schizophrenic lesbian who deletes her blogs all the time and disappears for months.
She allowed all derivative works a while ago and even congratulated the release of a translation of Warawau in Chinese, so worrying about her approval shouldn't be an issue anymore. Well, she said she's retired anyway, but she'll probably come back. Probably.

Anonymous 02/06/18 (Tue) 21:07:11 No. 5047
>>3743 It'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.

The creator hated that game and just uploaded it when it was finished without bug fixing it and then tried to remove it from the face of the internet. It's still possible to get to the end and there aren't any other bugs that'll stop progress to the same extent as the dinner scene bug, but you're at the part where the lack of bug fixing really starts to show.

Not affiliated with any of them so I can't tell, but if it only needs proofreading then that's one big problem less from the matrix.

>>5444 nice 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?
if you could help translate the Elizabeth hint corner and maybe items/skills it would be great. That part takes up a significant chunk of the script, see pic.

>>5449 You 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.
>>5450 I 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). I'm kinda busy with mock exams next week so it's pretty much bare bones at this point (and dead, since I'm stalling on mango releases too), however once I'm free again I'm going to commit to helping with the translation and technical details of the patch.

it covers the first three chapters, and chapter 4 to the point where you reach the A-Type city. (about 2/3 of the game) I will work on the remaining events.
The Player.exe is for EasyRPG, an open source RPGMAKER game player with a few nice functions. Press F to speed up, F10 for screenshots etc.

It has been forever but is good to know you are working on Warawau.

>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.

Then came 4 that's the one that has a bit of a Peter Pan/My Little Mermaid feel to it and it's the one where Warawau shows up as a fairy. After that was fury which was originally supposed to be 5, but the bug testing for that one never finished and the creator then tried to nuke it from the internet. After that came Gau Gau's Bride which is currently accepted to be Towelket 5.

>>5517 I'd probably go with Hemiola over Hemiora since it matches the same music themes that Habanera and Elegy have. No clue about the pink fishhat though. Every time I see her name romanized it's always something different.

>>5518 oh, good thinking.
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?
Anonymous 03/01/20 (Sun) 04:47:21 No. 5520
>>5519 Strait 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.

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>うぃけちゅけなっつりここなっつぃー

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

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.

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. If it's got something about a game you haven't played yet then take it with a grain of salt since it was written when none of the games were translated and hasn't been updated since.

>>5651 Nice. 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.

>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?

>>5662 I'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. And yeah every game is for the most part it's own continuity. Though I'd say it's closer to Breath of Fire than Zelda.

-Fish Hats bow to Pons
-In contact with Kisechu aliens
-Possess dududu-like abilities
-Control Bariland with an iron but fair fist
-Own cardboard houses & tunnels globally
-Direct descendants of the ancient Groom blood line
-Will bankroll the first cities on Fire Star (Pongrad will be be the first city)
-Own 99% of gang rape facilities on Earth
-First Nyanyamo babies will in all likelihood be Pon babies
-all Pons said to have 215+ IQ, such intelligence on Earth has was only found in Agochu's Pucchi robots
-Ancient Moon scriptures tell of a Pon with a tie who will descend upon Earth and will bring an era of enlightenment and unprecedented technological progress
-You likely have small Pons inside you right now
-The Pons are in regular communication with the Moon Goddess
-They understood the plot of Warau Warawau in under a week
-Poppichi engineering bays entrust their Conchelle sex robots with the Groom
-The Pons are about 5 million years old, last Chun timeline
-In reality, they are timeless beings existing in all timelines like Chun. We don't know their ultimate plans yet. We hope they're benevolent beings

Well - imagine, like if you were an adolescent/young adult and made a very, very edgy RPG Maker game, where you shoot up your school or something, or where you keep all your real life bullies in a torture chamber… you would probably have a change of heart, like, "God no I can't make this game, it's too much"? Towelket fury's author had no such inhibitions. If the game ever gets a finished TL it really should be plastered in content warnings, Christ it's edgier than Pico.

synopsis:
A girl I grew up with died.

When I turn around and look at the sky, I see a gigantic girl looking at me, blocking the entire sky.
That huge girl was my childhood friend who was supposed to rest for eternity.

As soon as Yorumorukimiri 3(currently in production) is completed, I will start work on "Dekapari".

Towelket: One more time ~Fury~ is translated!
The game was tested several times and it should be playable from beginning to the end.
BUT
It also has a gamebreaking bug that could be easily avoided, just read the attached "Readme" file in the game's folder (or you could just always hold your daughter in your team).

>>5830 6 has a lot of flaws, it was treated rather unkindly by the author who just rushed the heck out of it. (further above there are more details on that).
Still, I rather like its unique atmosphere, I think it has some of the best music in the series, Minamikaze is still one of my favorites. And Warawau is just great, she's so evil in this game that in every other appearance in the later games the players expect her to do something abhorrent.

Okay, here is Towelket 4 with a partial English translation so you can take an early peek. It covers the first 9 chapters - there's still a fair amount of text left to translate (about 30%), but I think it should be complete within the next few months.
Have fun, and Merry Christmas!

Finished playing through the translated portion of Towelket 4. I liked it, looking forward to the rest. There were a lot of barrels with the # END STRING thing and a few @ signs in dialogue text. Why did the game use male pronouns for Pian at the beginning and female ones towards the end? Anyway, good work so far.

>>5856 It's unfortunate that you didn't find the games interesting. I consider them a very specific taste myself, like ska music. Just like the other poster I think the main draw is getting sucked into the writing and the world.

>>5851 >Why did the game use male pronouns for Pian at the beginning and female ones towards the end? It's a bit complicated, but Pian in TK4 is female and most often referred to as Mocha's older
sister . However, she is also married to Momo. Since Momo is the who gave birth to their children, Pian is called the husband in a few scenes.
However, it looks like there is some inconsistency and it gets mixed up sometimes.

As I recall, to move forward you need to restore Conchelle's memories, talk to the surviving Conchelle robot on Earth, and listen to Momen's recording. If you've done all of that try going back to Armstrong's room and talking to her and listening to the recording again.

J2nd 02/15/21 (Mon) 08:46:47 No. 5949
>>5948 To enter chapter 7 you have to
- retrieve Conchelle's memory from the yellow planet
- find "Memories of the Past" in Kachikachi city
- show "Memories of the Past" to Arm and retrieve the screw
- return to the satellite
apparently the whole chapter 6 sequence after you start at the satellite goes like this:
1. install arm's chip from Pucchi's body, startup Conchelle and go into space
2. visit the yellow planet and obtain "Conchelle's memory"
3. Go to Earth and Scrap City. Enter Momen's lab and have Arm investigate the machine in the left room, she will say "transferring data"
4. Now you can go through the rail tracks to Kachikachi city. Once there move up the right ladder and enter the nearest building.
5. Talk to the white Conchelle and follow her into the garden room, keep talking to her until you receive "Memories of the past" and the message says "maybe I should show it to Arm?"
6. Return to Arm, show her the memories, after the scene make sure to grab the screw on the ground
7. Return to the satellite, interact with the glass case to insert "Conchelle's memory"
8. If you've done everything right, you'll see Pucchi Arm standing here and can go to chapter 7. (see pic)
Afaik there are two scenes that are optional: talking to Kerbas while you control Arm, and hearing Momen's recording on the table.

>>5879 Then wouldn't it be better to just change all instances where she's referred to as a male to female? It would certainly make things less confusing. Feels like she was written as a guy as first, but was changed to a girl mid development but the early dialog wasn't edited to reflect that change.
Anonymous 02/18/21 (Thu) 20:22:11 No. 5955
>>5952 Well, we'd then be changing the original script deliberately to make it fit a setting for the sake of convenience, even though we don't know if it's written like that on purpose or if it was an accident. Ideally, we would need to ask kanao what's their stance on this. With some luck we might get an answer. But when you work in a translation, you can't just casually change things like that just because the author wasn't explicit enough or made a mistake - you'd be changing on a whim how the target public will experience the game to make it fill your idea of what they need, instead of letting them choose for themselves what to believe. Unless, of course, the author themselves give the ok or something.
Honestly though, the confusion is part of the towelket experience.

while the individual details are a bit hazy, what's clear is they wanted to invade the domain of the moon goddess, and they seem to succeed as Zucche is found where the imperial princess was in 3. I think the author wanted to player to draw his own conclusions, my view is that Zucche wanted revenge for his empire being defeated over and over in the previous parallel worlds. That and he wanted to rebel against the goddess and her minions (deities or goddesses), since he apparently wouldn't be able to keep his free will and wanted to go down fighting. A "better to reign in hell than serve in heaven" kind of affair

>>6040 I've cleared the game. I won't go into the plot for obvious reasons but I see why this one didn't get a demo while the first two did. You'll be completely confused right from the start if you didn't play the other two because it expects that you already played them. It's not like the Towelket series where playing in production order is recommended but not needed. If the chart gets updated with it then it needs to be mentioned that the Yorumorukimiri series is explicitly meant to be played in sequence.
What I can say about the plot that isn't a spoiler is that this time around it focuses on the Pons and the Fish Hats working together. Even the Fish Hats that only had bit roles in previous games like Arieair and Elegy get a good amount of screen time.

>>6440 maybe the dev found something in your profile or activity they didn't like

>>6440 I've been following him on twitter since before he started working on Dekapari and nothing like that happened to me.

I'd like to thank all those working on the translation of this wonderful series, because it's a kind of arthouse find. I hope someone will translate the remaining spin-offs, I don't think I can get the last 3 as they're paid, so I'll enjoy the ones that are free

>>6503 Probably the funniest game in the series, that fucking roar in the Ponpe rape scene that comes out of nowhere, but still, pretty lighthearted compared to the rest of the games. Also an actual happy ending.
The auhor really loves to reference towelket 2 in the latter trilogy, can't blame her, it's probably her best work storywise. Talking about 4, 5, and 6 I still prefer 4, the party interactions are just way too good, the exploration aspect is nice even if barebones, also the combat is little more fleshed out with status effects and stuff. Oh also the lore, 4 is basically the culmination of the series and the way it references past games as myth and legends is just perfect.
