Doujin Circle "A Cellar" 穴蔵

Hey players, nice to meet you - my name is John.  I came to Japan for the first time three years ago in 2011 to intensify my study of Japanese and follow my dreams to be a translator for the style of games and animation for which I have an undying passion.  It's been a great blessing in my life, and has brought me to meet many interesting people all over the internet. 

During my time here, I was blessed enough to meet a talented man, Jeff, who was ambitious enough to start making his own games in circles like A Cellar.  He is a wonderful programmer, and he introduced me to this industry.  I was absolutely honored to be able to see and learn about events like comiket from the game creator's point of view

But more to the point, I was amazed
to see just how many thousands of individual game developers like Jeff and his team are struggling and trying to make an earnest living working on things they genuinely love.  Their struggle is real, and I want to help change that.  A small-team game creator out here could make less than $10,000 USD a year, and living expenses in Japan are just as high as in the west. 

It's time to bring their creativity and ambition out to a market that appreciates them.  That's our goal with this translation, and we want to do more in the future!  And now, it's time to make that a reality.

Trial Version:

We made a special trial version of the game fully translated just so you could try it out!  Give it a shot!  Or, if you don't want to download anything, you can just watch it right here (thanks to one of our funders - Dizzy Ziddy - for making these gameplay videos!)

Visual Novel Portion:

Gameplay, CGs, and Battle Portion:


Synopsis

"Ecchi Mery and The Perils of the Cosmic Shrine" - whew, what a long name!  But it's very fitting.  This is a fun little game where our hero, Mery, and her maid, Maria go out and try to discover a valuable artifact in Cipangu (the old Portuguese name for Japan).  I felt a strong relation to our heroines here when I came to Japan for the first time myself!

But why are they going?  Mery is about to graduate from her magic academy and needs to prove to her worth!  And her trusty SUPER MAID Mary isn't going to let her go alone!

In Hinaya village, they find an old ruined shrine and explore its depths together!  However, it's hard for our two girls to get through their quest without running into some troubles along the way!  Many dangerous men and monsters lay deep in the shrine, and they're going to need and an ample amount of battle prowess and sexual prowess in order to survive! 

Mery:                      


Mery - our heroine! She is the only child of a wealthy British family, and attends a western magic academy. Her final magic academy graduation requirement is to obtain "something of value".  She sought the aid of her maid, Mary, and has traveled to Cipangu to search for an ancient artifact in order to pass her exam.

She's an introverted girl who has a problem speaking with others. Mery lacks self-confidence and it often manifests as stutters in her speech.  She's never held hands with a man before.  However, despite her timid personality, due to her affluent upbringing she can firmly stand against her difficulties when it counts.

Mary's quite skilled in offensive magic, despite her timid personality.  She can also attack with her staff, if necessary.

Mary: 

Mary is a maid who was born in Cipangu. Her true name is Maria, but she changed it to Mary so it could more closely match "Mery".  She traveled across the ocean once already to serve Mery in her noble home out in the West. 

Her attitude may seem reckless, but she's actually quite studious.  Since she's attracted to Mery, she's cultivated her skills with both genders during her maid training.  She's playful, mischievous, and has a flare for dark magic - but she forgoes those abilities in favor of her "deluxe maid outfit". It has countless hidden items, including knives, poison arrows, and blow darts - just to name a few.

If Mery ever falls in battle, Mary enters into a cold and ruthless rage in order to protect her.

Game Features:

  • Voiced by Maria Ayana and Amane Shiina.
  • A classical RPG styled battle system, with battles happening right on your game map - a'la Chrono Trigger.
  • Over 120 CGs and 30 hentai-scenes with tons of fetish variations.
  • Completely customizable stats and an equipment synthesizing system.
  • Multiple endings!

    Let's all do our best and make this translation a reality!

Budget:

The budget for this project is $1,500USD.  Approximately 70% of this goal is for the purpose of translating and editing.  The remaining 30% will go to paying off campaign materials, graphical editing by our artist, and to the programmer for English text insertion. 

We selected flexible funding for this project.  We're willing to do a partial patch in the event we only manage part of the goal.  If we get close enough to the goal, we may just translate the whole thing anyway.  We want the backers to be involved and decide on what gets translated in the event of a partial patch. 

This is a screenshot of the main flow for our game.  As you can see on the right, there are a lot of optional H-scenes!  On the left is the main flow for the start of the game, which progresses the main story of the RPG.  In the event of a partial translation we want our supporter's input on what they want to see translated. 

Your input will make the difference!  It's a tight and modest budget, but we're also willing to hear other ideas to make the game better for international release.  If this is successful, we may translate more games in the future!
