Era
Or EraToho.

So guys, anyone know about this thing? I heard from my friend about this game; apparently it's a text based rpg similar to Slave Maker or something like that.

Nevermind, found it, but it's brutally, critically bugged to hell and back. Buying a slave from the store crashes with a divide by zero. After I fixed that with a crude bubblegum fix, I noticed that recovery rates for mental and physical endurance were abnormally low, at least compared to other variants. Also the training stats refuse to rise no matter how much I do it, I don't get the training points that are then changed into the points that allow skill training. Which is kind of the core mechanic of the game. Dunno if it's just this newest version that's bugged to hell since I couldn't find any older ones. Apparently they're purged from the uploader once a new version comes out. Shame really, apart from the bugs this looks like the most promising version of the game yet, AND it's still being updated, something that can't be said for about 90% of the projects.

in my totally pr0 opinion, if you play just one variant, you have to play one of the eratohoRR1317 variants. This is because those have a huge library of custom character-specific scripts, which are incompatible with other versions without painful hand-tweaking.

also, get Emuera. It lets you play using a mouse. shit is so much more cash.

When you use the mouse, your hand get cold and it's really unnerving when you want to use both hands later, and if you're trembling, it can be frustrating. The keyboard, on another hand, isn't as difficult to use when you're focused on something else.

Ok, figured it out by myself. What a god damn mess. The deal is, emuera apparently reads windows system config for the decimal marker character, which in my case happens to be comma, not perioid like in english, or apparently, japanese use. That fucks up all numbers reliant on it on startup read, and borkens most scripts. It's actually a god damn miracle that the thing still works to the degree it does even after it somehow fails to read all decimal numbers in the script files...

Haven't had any problems so far after I fixed that. Seriously though, what kind of a moron uses windows settings for core program shit like that? I might understand it if the decimal marker was used for output, but no, as far as I know it's only used in the script files. Absolutely no reason not to hardcode it, or at the very least put it in a program specific config file.

This is half the problem. I've not checked the variants but I have feeling were dealing multiple variants being coded in different ways so each version wouldn't just be translate the different text but having to figure out how each game's code works.

Practically all the variants apart from the very first one are for a custom scripting platform called emuera. And you're NOT going to be able to have an universal translation, most of the variants are dramatically enough that you'll just have to pick one and stick with it. If we were voting, I'd put mine on eratoho YM, since it has the most content, it's only major problem is that since it hasn't been updated for a while not it, for example, lacks the most recent set of characters from TD. Then again, there was a password protected prototype for a new version on the uploader so I guess there's a reasonable chance that it'll get fixed soon.

Then again, reverse is also an attractive prospect.

To add to this, i made this translation(based on machine translations) to help with the character creation that EraTohoR, and a few other era games, use.
Decided to post this here in case it helps anyone else.

Do note that to access this in EraTohoR you have to play in Extra or Sandbox mode(These modes also allow you to play as any Touhou).

In Normal mode you have to go through a semi-random "quiz" of sorts to create your character.

The patch, if it works, goes to the same folder as the main game folder (A good hint on if you're putting stuff in the right place is to check if the folder contains similarly named folders as the ones in the patch.) The voice files go under "\\main game\\ERB\\口上". Though I do think the program can read them from anywhere under ERB, it's still a good idea to have them in the right place, just so that you know what to delete if something goes bonkers. For the patch, it goes without saying, but you need to overwrite any existing files.

Since you didn't mention which of the variants you're using, I'll assume you meant eratoho YM. (Or YM AE, which is basically the same thing, with the exception that it's actually updated.)

Pick easy touhoes to make money off of. Don't even bother trying the special endings, you need good chunks of cash, skills and equipment for those. Generation play makes things more difficult, but continuing the same game over and over again can be boring. Pick your poison. Oh, and be very careful with who you buy. Basically Eiki and Yorihime are extremely slow and difficult to train without having their counterparts to act as assistants. There were several other difficult cases but I can't remember them off-hand. Oh, and don't bother with hina. Bitch is impossible. (Ok, not impossible, just extremely annoying, basically you have to grind one of her statuses off or she'll go depressioo~n'd as fuck. None of the standard tricks will work. Only service actions have any decent effect.)

Easy starter ones are just about all the generic fairies (after all the "real" characters in the listings), Cirno, Daiyousei, rumia etc. Also Marisa is pretty easy since she's got that neat 快楽に素直 or whatever trait. Same with Suika, IIRC. Also, check the settings, I know it'll be a PITA to go through those the first time, but it'll pay off.

When starting off, you want to avoid those damn resistance (反発) seals. They make training very difficult and grinding them off, especially the level 3 ones is really annoying. Also keep an eye for any girls with the rebellious (反抗的) trait. They get those resistance seals VERY fast.

I'd agree with the first half of the statement, but the second half is once again, preachy garbage from someone not content to be personally disgusted with something, but trying to shame the very idea of someone gratifying base impulses. I see nothing particularly wrong with acknowledging some darker impulse, in a completely safe and harmless environment, which could be said to be the goal of these games. I mainly don't buy that argument, because that argument can be used as an indictment of any game where you do anything bad, or have to option to do anything bad. For all the preachers out there, i'd suggest that if you have a magic laser cannon that turns everyone in the world into angels who have no base, crass, ugly, or selfish desires, then fuckin' go for it, otherwise you can just shut your mouth about the ways other people might want to satisfy them, unless they actually start harming people.

The problems with a translation are that 1. there are so many variants, 2. most of those variants keep being updated and thus necessitating new translations and 3. a translation would most surely break the format when trying to replace 1-3 kanji with their equivalent english terms.

Otherwise I would be open to it, sure. Heck I might have done a translation or two already just for the fun of it.

The updating part may not be that big of a problem, the updates are usually pretty small, and I don't figure doing a file comparison is a huge problem in most cases. It does take some work though. And really, the issue with many variants really boils down to just which one people want to see most.

But yeah, the issue with the interface is quite critical, and I don't see an easy solution to that one.

So, this is of uncertain relevance to most people, but you Linux anons may benefit.

I managed to get eratohoYM3.701 (via eraT0003498.zip release) running via Emuera running through wine. Here's how.

- Unzip the file in a way that doesn't mangle the filenames:
$ unzip -O cp932 eraT0000xxxx.zip

- Install .NET with winetricks. I'm not sure which .NET exactly you'll need, since I already had them all installed, but just try installing the ones between 3.0 and 4.5. Google for instructions.

- You need the ja_JP.sjis locale. You'll probably need to manually generate it since it's not available by default in many distros.
$ localedef -i ja_JP -c -f SHIFT_JIS /usr/lib/locale/ja_JP.sjis

If you run a distro that keeps locales elsewhere (are there even any?) I'll assume that you know what you're doing.

- Trying to run at this point will cause Emuera to crash with an error about "Encoding name 'SHIFT-JIS' not supported". You need to binary edit the Emuera executable (Emuera1807+v3.1.exe or similar) to change "SHIFT-JIS" to "SHIFT_JIS". Use your favorite binary editor. If you don't have one, vim will open binaries.

You're looking for:

S^@h^@i^@f^@t^@-^@J^@I^@S^@

Only one occurrence in the file. Change the dash to an underscore.

I am just as baffled as you as to why this is necessary when the program works on Windows. Something Linux-specific about the implementation of .NET's GetEncoding(), I guess.

- You may need fonts for basic display. Figure it out, that's pretty distro-dependent. Your wine may already have MS Gothic, but you can probably find something less shitty. Emuera will probably not run with fixed-width characters; this isn't much of an issue with Japanese wchars since they're all the same width already but your numbers will be less wide and this will cause the interface to be misaligned in a lot of situations. It's not a big deal, since it's just slowing down your reading a bit, but there is a (nonworking) dropdown menu to change the font in the options, fourth tab. If you know the name of your monospace font within wine's environment you may be able to make Emuera use it. I haven't bothered trying.

- Emuera will now crash because the directory names under ERB/ are garbled in Emuera despite displaying correctly on your filesystem. It probably has something to do with locale clashes between wine, your filesystem, and Emuera. It turns out the actual names of the directories don't matter, so rename the directories under ERB/ to something else. Make a backup if you want. I used digits 1-6, but it doesn't matter what you call them as long as they're ASCII, probably.

- Run like so:
$ LANG=ja_JP.sjis wine Emuera1807+v3.1.exe


It's somewhat unstable. You may get occasional crashes when highlighting things (Ctrl-C to bring up a copyable plaintext display) or when scrolling. The game autosaves every in-game day so you're not losing much.

As for actually playing, well, figure it out.

By the way, you can't properly hook the game with AGTH, so open a copy of the text buffer with Ctrl-C and copy from there.

Wow. I wish this had existed a year ago when I cared.

Past me thanks you regardless.

Reporting back after some further testing with newer versions: it turns out you don't actually need the locale, although there may be problems regardless.

Any future version, as far as I can tell, will run through wine with just the proper .NET prereqs and the binary edit from SHIFT-JIS to SHIFT_JIS. Apparently the directory structure was also changed sometime before the newest version, since renaming things is no longer necessary.

I didn't even know we had an Era thread here, but since this is ancient I think I'll post updated information.

Currently, there is a translation effort going on in 8/hgg/ (https://8ch.net/hgg/index.html)
in the Era Games General thread.

The main games that are getting worked on are EratohoK, EratohoTW and EraMegaten, which has a touhou mod in it and is therefore relavent.

EratohoK is a rance-style strategy game set in Gensokyo where you can play as your favorite 2hu (or as an OC) and conquer the land while enslaving/dicking any touhou that crosses your eye.
It is the most frequently updated, and has the most complete dialogue translation, and has the best sex system.

EratohoTW is a dating sim with timestop powers. It has a fair bit of character dialogue, but a majority of it is untranslated.

EraMegaten is a SMT game with sex, essentially. There are characters present in it from pretty much every SMT and Persona game to my knowledge, and is based off of the Devil Summoner series in terms of gameplay. There is a mod added to it that puts Touhou characters in as summonable 'demons'

Dialogue is very easy to add into K and TW, so if there are any interested parties, please stop in and ask somebody about a template file so we can have more waifu interactions, please and thank you.

You can download all the era games currently being worked on (of which there are 20+) at https://gitgud.io/eragames which requires an account (user:era Pass: eraeraera)

As I'm an idiot and forgot to include this in the first post: Translation tools are available, with ChiiTrans and Translation Aggregator being the main ones we use, and we also have a copy of ATLAS for (questionable) offline translation.

Translation Aggregator: https://mega.nz/#!1SwD2SrC!QBbEFj5UDFryE4JdB5g7ondD5JMyfbBKbnWk0KhDkwc

>k's stuff seems dead
Nani the fuck are you talking about, it's updated multiple times a week.
>spaghetti code ate the project
Spaghett Code has spent the last like six months unfucking the git, and thanks to his efforts it now works leagues better than it used to.
>and the new JP version breaks like EVERYTHING
I'm not even sure what this means, why would you play the JP version when the eraGit version is updated and works fine.

There are tons of these, which one specifically are you looking for? TBH I'd recommend TW and K as they're very developed and surprisingly deep. Really fun text sandbox on TW.

Is the translation still being worked on? Seems like it should be done by now with how long it's been in progress.

This thread is a time capsule. Cool that it's still up and the eragames are still being worked on to this day.
