Doki Doki Vacation updates - Jan 13th 2023
🕑 Added 2023-01-13 07:11:16 +0000 UTCTango date: Friday the 13th, 2023. The Doki Doki situation is getting out of control.
My PC is now rebuilt, all files have been transferred, and I have discovered the power of using Text to Speech to make short update videos.
I had recently been covering the video game Doki Doki Vacation, thinking it'd be the typical short article I'm known for, but... I may have developed an obsession. This is turning into a full-on project, as I have to translate the game while I play it. It turns out that it takes quite some time to translate a visual novel.
It's bringing me back to a time when I made screenshot-based 'Let's Plays' under a pseudonym. I'm getting the hankering to dive back into that route. Not just showcasing video games, but deep-diving into all the lore behind them.
This has led me to make sure I get as much information as possible to share in fun ways, and my goodness, I have a lot of translating to do.
First up: A history of Cocktail Soft, the company that made Doki Doki Vacation. This one isn't too bad. It's more as reference material for future games.
Next: A Doki Doki Vacation art book. I thought it'd just be imagery, but it has many really interesting character profiles and a short guide on the game progression, which is an excellent bonus!
But that's all tiny compared to my final discovery. I've bought a novelisation. A young adult novel adaptation of a hentai game. I never even knew these existed, but it appears there are dozens of them from the PC-98 era, and my goodness, I need them in my life. Now, I'm not only going to have to translate the game for myself, but the book too... and that's going to take some time.
I'll share the knowledge with everyone at TangoPunk, as these text-based playthroughs are perfect for zines. Let's enjoy a mysterious vacation tale together!!!
