Introducing Team HD (Hunter’s Destiny)! Aslind Samure and I put together this team featuring former members of Team HGG, Team Maverick One, and other talented individuals to bring a proper translation patch to Monster Hunter Online!
Instead of just tossing everything into Google Translate, we’ve been putting a lot of time and effort into making every bit of text in the patch sound like a localization that even Capcom would be proud of (yes, even including puns). We’ve even made an installer file to streamline installing the patch for the less tech savvy hunters.
As you can see from some of the screenshots, we’ve made a good deal of headway on a lot of important things like items, materials, skills, etc. We’ve even been able to translate the UI, something I haven’t seen other “English” patches do. Bigger stuff like NPC conversations will take much longer to do, but we plan on translating 100% of the game, in time.
Right now we don’t have the patch available for the public yet, but we’re planning to have a public beta version out by the end of this month. Today I’m streaming one of our recent beta builds of the patch over at https://www.twitch.tv/kogath just to show off how everything is looking (and just have some good fun hanging out with people and hunting).
