So if you have tried this game in English, you miiiiight have noticed that it wasn't written by a fluent English speaker.

I was frustrated by all of the mistakes in the English translation, so I went through the game's files as best I could and fixed typos, grammar, and apostrophes. I went through all the enemies, all the classes, all the skills, all the books, all the weapon descriptions, and all map areas. I tried to be as faithful as possible to the source material, with a few editorial exceptions:

  1. I made Griffith's Le'Garde's lines a little less casual. More "I will not allow that" and less "Not gonna happen."
  2. I changed a line from the knight's backstory that implies the armies of Rondon would leave a surviving child or two to tell the story of what had happened. FYI it's because the original wording was clunky and it refused to fit in the text window no matter what I did. Now, the children were let go 'for sport'. See, it's still depressing! You get to enjoy that.
  3. I re-wrote some of the dark priest's reasons for heading to the dungeon, as the original text was very muddled and obtuse. Now the priest finds the prophecy and heads to the dungeons to not only find out what the fates intend, but to overcome them, bending them to his will.
  4. I re-wrote the crow mauler poem so it rhymes now. As it was, the poem tried to rhyme "behind you now" with "reap what I sow" and that's...not a thing. Now it's "reap as I plow."
  5. I changed out Defence Stance for "Defensive Stance". Come at me, brits, I'm updating this game to be consistently in American English!
  6. Finally, I changed the demon child's birth prompt to say "Name your terrible son." This change should speak for itself.

A short list of some of my favorite typos:

That's a fist one --> That's a first!
to pregnate her --> to impregnate her
you brought this to yourself --> you brought this on yourself
they're barking at the wrong tree --> they're barking up the wrong tree
the hunger almost hooks you up --> the hunger almost consumes you
they are but child's play words (real Derek Zoolander quote) --> they are but children's stories
once upon in time --> once upon a time
you don't know what he is responsible of --> you don't know what he is responsible for!
Mecenary lost his another arm! --> lost his other arm too
your child crawls to itself-->your child crawls by itself
all with no avail -->all to no avail
engraved on your head-->engraved in your mind
I'm at a loss of words here even--> me too, game. me too.


To install, just unzip the mod file and transfer the www file over to your game's directory, overwriting files when prompted. The path ought to be something like:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fear & Hunger\

Hello, I wanted to use your mod along with Frapollo94 bug fix so I am working on a project to make your work standalone so as not to interfere with other mods! I have successfully modified the game files manually and added your work to Frapollo94's bugfixes, and in the process I made a list of all your changes. My goal is to create something (likely a python script) that goes through the game's JSON files for typos based on your list of changes, and does a find-and-replace, for example it will search for all times the game spells "mucus" as "muckus" and fix it. This will basically be a complete re-imagining of your work since I assume you used RPG maker MV to edit this stuff and I will be scrubbing through the JSON files, but this should let the mod only affect text, not any mechanics, and work with other mods! Let me know what you think and if you'd be okay with me distributing this/if you want it so you can continue work with it.

Actually... I just did a little test and this mod was compatible with MY current setup. I am using Mattiefm.itch.io this mod for the "save anytime" feature (it requires unencrypting the game), and afterwards I just copied in the files from the English mod, overwriting whatever it asked about and voila, it works (you can very quickly verify by New Game -> Knight description), and I still can save anytime.

Using the English mod with Frapollo's fix will be a little less straightforward.

If you're going to do this, back up the game files just in case, then download the English mod and extract it. You will need something like WinMerge, a comparison tool, to check the differences between the files. You'll want to compare the /www/data folder of your game (should have the Frapollo mod installed already) and the downloaded mod's /www/data folder. It will sort of look like this: I.imgur.com

You will then want to check the differences between each file and cherrypick which changes to keep exactly. Here's a screenshot of one of the file comparisons:
I.imgur.com

I made a short video for you to show what it's like to be doing this one by one: Youtu.be

You'll want to ignore the "flavour text" stuff (ie the stuff you read on the UI as the player) and focus on the text that looks like it's changing gameplay, ie "code:22, value:0.1"

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Honestly, just glad to hear that my mod is something you're willing to put so much effort into using. I'll let you know how things with nmhare turn out :)

It's a godsent honestly, the ESL takes me out quite a lot, so this is super appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to make this fix.

I am lucky that the mod loader I'm using only modifies the game's index.html, so it is compatible with this.

Buuut if one has a game with Frapollo's mod or this English fix mod already, it's possible to cherrypick out the changes since the two mods change very different things (it'd just take some hours of work). Applying the list of changes this mod makes to the game files using a python script or batch file would be super convenient and compatible with any mod. Hope it will be realised!

hello! I really want this mod (the writing errors in this game can really take me out of the atmosphere sometimes...) but is there any way for it to be compatible with the reign of new gods mod (https://platypus-gems.itch.io/fear-hunger-reign-of-new-gods) ? I would love to play with them both ;_;

I also wish it was possible, but unfortunately both that mod and frappollo's bug fixes overwrite all the game's data files, and erase my mod in the process. I can't fix this without re-writing the mod from scratch and that's just too many dozens of hours of work for me. Someday maybe, once both mods are in a stable place.
