Since early on I really wanted to have "a cat & his boy" translated in Japanese. For any retro game developer, to have your game translated into Japanese is a dream! With Japan’s rich history of Game Boy games and its thriving retro gaming community, translating my game into Japanese felt like a way to pay homage to the origins of the platform itself. More than that, I’ve always been inspired by Japanese game developers, and this translation felt like a hope to connect with that creative tradition. A huge thanks to HAL2039 for translating my game with so much care and attention to detail!

The only change isn't the translation only, much additional QA was done by HAL2039 through this process as well. So below is the changelog of what else is new in the game :D

Change log 2.3

Added Translation / QA Credit Page for HAL2039

Adjusted a bug involving the socks where you could continuously place them in the dresser.

Adjusted timing of music jingle after winning the GB mini game to feel less abrupt.

Fixed a bug where the bottle kept changing animation states when not intended.

Added two warp triggers to loop the platformer section for easier travel once the player has defeated the boss crow. 

Added new sprite “fence broke” This sprite appears in the opening platformer area once the boss crow has been defeated.

Adjusted a bug where when you give Leif his time capsule in the hallway the sprite wouldn’t render. Now it appears over Leif’s head and his animation expression changes.

Added Dialogue in the following places:

• A triggered text box at the garden gate when leaving the platformer area before getting your collar back since  in all inhouse cutscenes Midnight has his collar still.

• An alternate text if you complete the Mouse hunt without talking to Schrodinger until you already have all 10 mice.

• An alternate text if you get your collar back without ever talking to Cole and then talk to him.

• An alternate text for Leif once he has drawn a picture of Midnight, put it on the fridge and the player has seen it.

Thank you so so much to any who have contributed to the sale as well, it really did help fund the translation!
