Hey guys, Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and Epic Battle Fantasy Collection now have Chinese fan-translations on Steam.
You can enable them in the Steam client’s Betas tab.
I was not personally involved with this translation, but I’m happy to host it since there’s a lot of Chinese users on Steam.
I’ve translated the Steam store pages and Steam achievements too.
Entering the data for the achievements in every language is usually an incredibly tedious task, with hours of copy and pasting, but I’ve finally got round to automating it.
ChatGPT wrote a python script for me that extracts achievement names and descriptions from my ActionScript 3 code and lists them in plaintext. I then use Notepad++ to do a vertical column copy and paste right into Valve’s template .vdf file, and upload that. Pretty cool.
It sounds high tech, but I could have done this years ago without AI if I knew how to use regular expressions and python scripts. Would have saved 3 or 4 days of work over the last few years. Anyway, sometimes it pays to spend some time to learn new skills.
I’ve played since EBF3 was released on Kongregate, and I dabbled in 1 and 2 as well. I’d be happy to contribute back with scripting needs in the future in case Chat GPT fails. Regex and python are no problem 😉
Hey! I’m a huge fan from China and I’m really excited to see this. Anyways, can I make a non-profit fangame of EpicBattleFantasy? I’d be really passionate about it if you’re okay with it.
If Matt agreed, then can you tell me about the game when it is done ? I would love to experience such a game…
I still have hope that someday there will be a Portuguese version of EBF3.
It’s a pity that it’s unlikely to be translated into Russian.
I don’t know when that will happen, but I hope to be able to enjoy the game in Korean.
