Greeting all!
Looooooooong time eroge fan here. I remember playing True Love and Paradise Heights back when they first hit the US. They got me hooked and I never looked back.
I work in IT for a Japanese company, primarily fixing things for the English-challenged Japanese guys when the need arises. I speak Japanese and read at about the 4th grade level, but my IT background isn't in hacking compiled code, creating a patch and everything that goes into translating an eroge outside of the actual translation. Are there resources online I can use to learn what the hell I'm doing in this area to see if translating and creating patches is something I'd want to do?
I dabbed a little bit in messing around with a completed game a couple years ago. I fixed up a lot of the bullshit that was wrong with Phantasy Star 2 1/2 Fallen Planet, gave it a bitching soundtrack and uploaded it on the PS Cave forum in the fangames section. I'm assuming fixing a game made in RPG Maker will be easier than this, but at least it's a completed project, right?
