Sweet Home

Sweet Home is a Famicom game set in a haunted mansion. A group of five investigators infilitrate the estate in search of Mamiya Ichirou's famous fresco. But before their search can begin they find themselves pitted against the supernatural.

In the game you control a party of five characters. In order to explore the mansion successfully you must switch between your members to take advantage of their special tools and abilities. The game originally gave them five Japanese names. I've taken the liberty of anglacizing them. When the game is released check the readme file for the original names. If you really want to rename them ourselves as the game provides you with that option from the beginning. Don't complain to me, I don't care.

With some special assistance from The MadHacker on the naming screenI've pretty much have most of the beginning of the game done. Now with the help of Suicidal Translations' Ataru, I have more translated material to work with. Before, when I was doing both the translating and romhacking progress was pretty slow. This new team up with ST should be very beneficial. The title screen you see there was done by strength and myself. He had sent me a design in gif format for the title screen. So far I've editted a saved state get the tile data in the game. I've already cut and paste that data into the rom and its only a matter of rearranging it to have the title screen done completely. I've decided to leave that task for last. Right now I'm more concerned with finishing the text.

Provided below are some screenshots of my current progress. I have yet to add in Ataru's work but that is being worked upon now. A patch will be available only at the 100% mark. Do not ask for the rom.

The font may seem odd at first glance, when played full screen in an emulator it looks much better (at least that is how I feel).
