Looking really good! Can't wait to play this again after you're all done (so much of the text for residents in the back portion of the island was missing in the original translation patch).

My inner paranoia is worried this project has been cancelled, any updates on progress?

We are still working on this! Most of us have been very busy, and haven't had as much time to dedicate to this project, but this hack is still very much active! The majority of the text in the game has either been totally redone from the incomplete patch online, or did not exist in this patch in the first place, so we have essentially been working on a retranslation/rewrite for the entire game's text. We are trying to make a translation that would be as good as an official one, minus any censorship that would have been required for that.

Very sorry that it's been a while! As a bit of compensation, I do have some news to share: A GiFTPiA translation hack is still far off, but I have figured out how to replace the strings in the game for an English hack, so an English hack of GiFTPiA will be made sometime after the Captain Rainbow hack releases!

A major breakthrough for GiFTPiA!? That's very exciting!! I wish you all the best of luck with that, and of course with Captain Rainbow as well. I'm really looking forward to playing these games some day!

This seems to be building up for a great 2024 for the Wii!

There's a Gundam game getting translated as well.

Maybe there's some cross-pollination there?

I also know someone I can ask if you need help. The person I know did Line Attack Heroes and I think Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

Can't express how grateful I am for all of the hard work that you and your team have been putting into producing the best possible translation! Thank you for the care and attention to detail you have devoted to this project. After hearing that not only all of the text was recombed over and improved upon wherever needed but also that the translation will be entirely uncensored is seriously a dream come true!! :')   


*Announcing that Giftpia will eventually be getting a translation was also super exciting!!


You should seriously consider making a Patreon (like Hilltop's) or set up some way so supporters have the ability to donate to you or your team to show support.  The hypothetical Patreon could involve projects devoted to uncensoring previously censored games (adding back in previously removed content),  information in regards to future translations ect. Don't want to cause any problems by recommending this btw.
