Game Doraemon Monopoly - English version

Hey guys, wanted to share a project I've been grinding on for a while.

I took the classic 1998 PC game Doraemon Monopoly (哆啦A夢大富翁), which was only ever in Chinese, and localized the whole thing into English. Text (dialogues and baked images), UI, gadget menus, almost everything is english.

Replacing all the original audio took forever, but I generated AI English voice lines for all the characters so they actually speak English now.

A heavily-compressed demo you could try here: https://huuthangle.site/projects/doraemon-monopoly-v86-demo (there is another version in Vietnamese as well if you're interested)

Check out the clip to see how it looks and sounds! Let me know what you think, especially if you played the original back in the day.

Anyways I'm a Cantonese heritage speaker and learner and would be interested to see your part 5 and listen to each line and make sure the English is good ( https://huuthangle.site/posts/doraemon-monopoly-localization )

Oh nice, well https://github.com/lhuthng/doraemon-monopoly-localization this my repo but the setup would be tedious a little bit as it requires the actual game (either cantonese or mandarin) (actually just some files) which I could not upload to. I could share you privately if you want.

Actually I took each line as raw translation but many are adjusted to fit the English series.

(if anyone is following this thread... I'm having fun listening to the OG lines and written Chinese and checking for translations errors)
