Hi, I wanted to ask about a game that is not necessarily a visual novel / eroge. PM is really an amazing game, the problem is that no one has translated any (except 2 and Part 5).
I do not know, but maybe someone expresses a desire to translate Princess Maker 3,4 or 5. For those who do not know the game, PM2 can be downloaded for free: (enough for Dummies DOSBox and D-fend Reloaded) Some additional information: (edited) Well, you may get lucky, eventually I would like to ask for access to these games iso version for PC. Please forgive me if something does not fit grammatically: D.
This looks pretty nice, in my opinion. I love retro games, so I'll definitely check this out.
Thanks a lot And one thing I want to say. The chances that someone actually translates something when you ask for it are verrrry low. Translating is hard, so they'd rather work on something they really like.
I also just took a look at the script of the game, and it seems to be written mostly in Kanji, without much use of Hiragana. (Or I'm just too stupid to look at the scripts properly) So you'd definitely need some skilled translator for this. Princess Maker 5 is also still listed under 'active projects', so you might see this getting a full translation sometime. And here are torrents for the ISO's: You have to sign up to get the torrent though. This looks pretty nice, in my opinion. I love retro games, so i'll definitely check this out.

Princess Maker 2 combines three of my favorite things: pet-raising simulators, dozens of endings, and playing matchmaker. Unlike a Tamagotchi, your daughter (probably) isn't going to end up dead in a room full of nothing but poop. I can't confirm since I haven't gotten all 70ish endings, but she's a lot more likely to grow up to be the queen of all poops. Or a dancer, which might be worse-I didn't spend eight years and tens of thousands of gold on a top-notch education just for you to become a dancer, sweetie. Now you, too, have the opportunity to probably be a terrible parent without risking permanent damage to your delicate lady parts or 18 years' worth of child support payments. In real life, careless parenting is pretty much limited to leaving your child unattended for hours in the nearest Walmart.
In Princess Maker 2, your precious daughter can literally marry Satan when she grows up. Next time, don't let her work at the cabaret and partake in underage drinking, Dad. You're (probably) not going to hell after playing this game, despite the old DOS version’s greatly exaggerated reputation. And if you do, at least you have a shot at marrying the supreme ruler of Hell-if your poorly raised daughter hasn't married him first. The only thing removed from the original game is the cheat/debug mode, so you have to actually raise your child and force her to work or explore and fight in the RPG sections if you want a steady supply of cash. As I pushed my daughter to the brink of exhaustion and forced her to work on the farm for weeks at a time, I realized I didn’t care enough about her dreams and feelings. I cared about results: getting her the best marriage partner, raising her to be the strongest combatant in the realmokay, and the actual game achievements.
Right now, some of them are kind of buggy, but they’re all legitimately attainable. I assume they’ll be fixed in a later patch. As others have mentioned, the current translation is a bit rough around the edges and your daughter’s speech at the end of the game desperately needs subtitles—unless you’re fluent in Japanese. I am glad for the added voice acting, though it can get repetitive after a while. Setting the text to instant (or “Without wait,” as the odd translation puts it) helps a lot if you’re speeding through to get different achievements and endings. It’s a shame the Steam overlay doesn’t work, but it might be unavoidable considering the age of the game. Despite the minor issues I have with PM2, I’d love to see Princess Makers 3-5 on Steam someday, so I can continue to accidentally torment my innocent blank slate of a child as I try to shape her into what I failed to become in my own life.
But as I they say, it's never too late to become a queen of darkness. Posted: 28 September, 2016 I feel like I've waited all my life for this game to see an official English release. The translation here is quite sketchy (the 1994 DOS vaporware version's translation was much better) and there are certainly other issues (see other reviews mentioning the letter at the end not having subtitles) but anyone who has ever wanted the Princess Maker series in English to pick this baby up. It's just as fun as ever and opens up the possibility of PM3 5 being translated. I could die happy with these games translated, even as roughly as done here. No censorship, but there wasn't much to censor from the original Japan-only release of PM2 Refine in 2004. The art was toned down in the original Refine release.
The revenant dual audio hindi movie download. Steam overlay doesn't work. Can't screenshot in Steam. There's a bug where Faith reduces to 0 when you sell things out of your inventory when your inventory is maxed. Release isn't perfect but it works and it's better than nothing. Community has figured out how to edit the game's images day one, I'm sure a method to change the game's text is soon to follow. Update Sept 30 2016: CFK are reaching out in a thread in the forum to sniff out bugs and text issues based on player feedback.
This is a lot more than I expected from them. Hopefully they fix this release's problems. I'll update this review when/if they do. Posted: 28 September, 2016 I've previously played the DOS version of this game and liked it a lot. This version has non-pixelated art which, although not as charming as the original's, is pretty nice.
The game also gives you a choice to use the original MIDI or WAV, and there's Japanese voice acting as well. For people who've never played this before, it's basically a scheduling game. You select what your daughter does from month to month: Certain activities build up certain stats, which make certain endings possible, and the fun lies in finding out how your actions play out. There are also brief interludes with simple JRPG-style combat and exploration. While I'm happy that the game is on Steam, the English translation is painfully sloppy. The introductory movie is full of substandard English, and the game itself is full of typos: Amourer instead of armourer, for example. Typos don't prevent people from playing the game, but because Princess Maker 2 relies on the quality and charm of its writing, I urge CFK to do the right thing and improve the translation in a patch.
As it stands, the typos make the game look like a quick and dirty port, which does CFK's reputation no favors. Edit: Now that I've played a game through, I can see that there's another serious fault. In the DOS version, your daughter would write you a letter when she became an adult, either thanking you or criticizing you for your parenting. In the Steam version, she reads that letter aloud in Japanese, but there's no English text. If you don't speak Japanese, then, you're out of luck as far as understanding what she's saying. This means that what was a touching moment in the DOS version is now just going to leave a lot of English-speaking players confused. This absolutely needs to be fixed in a patch.
Posted: 12 January, 2017 I wanted to arrange marriage between my daughter and Demon Lord and because of my actions, she end up being a pro stitute (Steam censor, sorry!). She did married a Demon Lord anyway so. ^^' I always wanted to play 'Princess Maker 2', but couldn't get it to work on my PC, so you can imagine, how happy I was, when I saw it on Steam. The reputation that 'Princess Maker 2' has is well deserved. This is a very good game, easily the best 'raise your kid' simulator currently available on Steam (it even beats 'Long Live The Queen', which I also enjoy a lot), but at the same time, it is so much more.
It has interesting bits of story and lore, thrown here and there. This is a very complicated game, with a lot of aspects - you will shape relationship with your daughter, you will send her to classes, so that she can learn new skills, but that costs money.
So you will have to send her to work (sometimes to not nice places) or send her to go on adventures. There are many different skills, characters, hidden statistics and all sorts of stuff, that will impact how your daughter will end up. There are over 70 (!) different endings, plus few different marriage options Cube is my favorite so far ♥. Also, you need to be aware of your daughters morality and stress level - she may be ill, she may become a delinquent, she may run from home, she may even die. Watch over her diet too. Oh, and don't be surprised, when she will fall in love or become someone's mistress. There are lots and lots of very subtle changes and many strategies to raise your daughter.
This game has huge replayability - I've played it three times already and I will definitely come back for more, as I want to see all of the most interesting endings and get all achievements. If you haven't play this game, give it a shot - it's lovely, it has a lot of secrets and it's very interesting to see results of your choices. I fully recommend it.
Posted: 28 September, 2016 ☆ 日本語のレビューは下に書きました。 Nostalgia returns! I have played all PM1, PM2, PM3 (Faery Tales Come True) PM4, PM5 and the cell phone verion PM. PM2 was originally relased as PC-9801 and was then released to support windows 95. 'Refine' version was then released to support Win XP. Now it's redefined to support more recent OS via Steam. I am glad to see the game brought back to life again!
In this game, you become a father of a girl given to you from the skies. You will be taking care of her for eight years. During those years, you will have her earn her moneys from working, and let her attend classes to boost her skills. To turn her into a Princess is all in your hands! Game features: Adventure mode - Gear up your daughter! Attend classes to boost combat skills.
Once a year events - Choose from Cooking / Art / Dance / Combat. Demonstrate your skills to your competitors! Vacations - Boost those skills. Cute illustrations to make some memories.
Meet the NPCs in the castle - Let them know who you are. Be the lady they're looking for. Many endings - Her future depends all on you. Did her dream come true?
Pros: Great game to play repeatedly as there's many different endings. It also has great portraits at the end of the game / Fun adventure mode. Visit all four areas! / Challenging once a year event. Show off your talents! / Full voiced in Japanese (voices weren't available until Refine version) / That nostalgic MIDI sounds and musics / Supports Win 10 - 64 bit / All ending achivements are added (Patch 02/18/17) Cons: Eight years will pass by FAST/ Screen size is 800x600. High resolution even on full creen mode / Some bugs are game braker (Fixed on 02/18/17 patch) Some game bug has been reported + I have experienced myself as well:When you click an item in the 2nd page of your inventory, your daughter's Faith goes down to 0.
There's so far no way to raise the faith back above 0. It negatively affects your daughter's daily routine and her ending. Posted: 20 April, 2017 At age 10 I realize my funds cant even support her class for more than a week. At age 11 I made her work to pay for her own classes. At age 12 I made her go out into the wild for weeks on her own with sharp objects.
At age 13 I ran out of money for tuition and made her work more than before. At age 14 shes too frequently stressed out and often ranaway from home. At age 15 I made her participate in the painting competition but shes wants to dance instead.
I refused because painting had better reward. At age 16 I brought her an expensive robe from the salesmen with her own money. At age 17 I rejected every potential suitor's marriage proposal and frequently go out on vacation with her. At age 18 I somehow manage to make her into a writter. Also, I married her. 10/10 I'm the worst father ever.
Posted: 15 August, 2017 Second most recent playthrough: I thought it would be funny partway through to make her a nun and have her marry the demon butler so I aimed for that ending. Result: She became a general and married a cheerful, sociable knight. And also she hated me for making her train all the time. Most recent playthrough: Burnt by my last experience, I decided to focus on making sure she won the Art Contest at the Harvest Festival for the cash.
14 year, probably due to all the dance lessons I'd been sending her on for stamina and glamour her rival was the Dance Party girl, to my displeasure as I had a sure winner with the Advent of Angels painting. But I went along with it because I didn't want my daughter to hate me. I made sure she smoozed with the Minister, I beggared myself buying her a dress, I sent her dance class after dance class. She ran away during the month of the next Harvest Festival. She had to fund her dance classes with hairdressing that year. Result: Became a dancer and married the demon butler which I wasn't even trying for. And she loved me for cherishing her.
We make plans for our children and push them in that direction, but children will make their own choices and follow their own paths, parents plans for them be damned. That's why this game is an awesomely realisitic parenting simulator, apparent from all the fairy tea parties and demon feasts. Posted: 29 September, 2016 tl;dr - Far inferior to the unreleased DOS version.
I can only justify buying this to send a message that the west wants these games. It's up to you to decide if you want to spend $20 on a worse version of a game from 1993 - along with my hesitant recommendation, I recommend reading into the history of SoftEgg's attempt at bringing the game to the US if you're on the fence.
I may not know how tl;dr works. Like most of the other reviewers, I played the DOS version of this game a TON when I was growing up.
Princess Maker 4 English Patch
I consider the story behind that version's failed release to be one of the greatest disappointments in video game history - look into it, if you feel so inclined. Had the release succeeded, we may well have seen official English releases for many more Gainax titles. Titles I have never played, and would sorely like to. The fact that this is actually getting an official release in western markets now, so long after the fact, is surprising. However, there is one thing that is preventing me from fully embacing this release: the translation. As others have noted, the translation is vastly inferior to the unreleased DOS version. The opening text crawl, which you can see on the Store page, has some amazing Engrish (to be fair, nothing else in the game quite reaches that level).
There are grammatical and spelling errors abound, and in a game that is largely text based it's pretty annoying. In addition, certain stats and skills now have names that don't really make sense. Charisma has become Glamour, Refinement has become Elegance, and neither of those are really troubling. But in a game where the religious symbolism is extremely western (crosses and nuns), why has 'Sin' become 'Karma?' It doesn't even make any sense. You actually GAIN karma for doing sinful things, and if I hadn't made the connection to the DOS version, I may have thought that was a good thing. Also, and this is admittedly a minor point, Conversation is now 'Speech.'
The skill is basically tracking your daughter's ability to engage in witty conversation with people, so Conversation is far more appropriate. Speech sounds more like she's learning to speak properly. Yet, the only way to increase it is by working at the Bar, and proper speech is actually governed by Decorum. It makes me sad that such an inferior version of the translation has seen a release that the DOS version never did. I yearn for the days of the original's nostalgic, pixelized art, though I'm willing to accept that that's more about my own nostalgia - the art isn't really bad.
I think some of the art has altered your daughter's poses as she grows, but that may have something to do with blood type, and I've only played one game, so I can't definitively state that's the case. Also, another minor point (not so minor?) - going full screen stretches the game's aspect ratio rather than retaining it via a border or something. It looks terrible, so play windowed. And why did my daughter stare lovingly at me and speak Japanese to me for 90 seconds upon completion of the game? There was no text in that segment, which if I recall from the DOS version, was a letter your daughter wrote to you thanking you for all you've done for her. Honestly, I'm not sure if I want to recommend this.
The unofficial DOS version is better in just about every way. I don't condone piracy at all, but it's hard to justify paying $20 for an inferior version of a game from the early 90s. I haven't looked into what the community is doing with this release - if smarter people than I are going to find a way to crack and fix this game, then buy it. I bought it solely because I want to send a message to the Japanese makers of games like these that there is a market for them in the west.
They're fantastic and I want them.
Second installment in the Princess Maker series of life simulation games developed by the Japanese computer game and anime production company Gainax. You are a war hero who raises a girl to the age of 18.
At the end of the game, your daughter goes into a line of work; what this work is, how much talent she has for it, her marital life, and her overall happiness all depend on your actions. It has been translated into Korean and Chinese; an English-language beta version exists, but was never formally released.
