| Note 1: Size of the VLT is based on the Japanese dump
from disnesquick, and size of the FLT is based on my
translated English files. Total size will give roughly
600K if both are in Japanese. The English file is usually
much bigger than the Japanese dump. |
| Note 2: Since my names translation are vastly
different from Lee's, I have to keep about 90% of my
translation to avoid unnecessary dialogue changes. |
| Note 3: Testing progress is a rough estimate. This
game has so many side quests and tricks that it is almost
impossible to test the patch 100%. A description of
what's done in the alpha test will be available in the
FAQs section. |
| Note 4: Credits include the Japanese names that
appear at the end of the game. These are all in Japanese
Kanji and are very difficult to translate correctly (many
of them can be translated in more that one way in
Romanji). I'll leave it until I have time to research on
them. |
| Note 5: These are rough estimations based on the reports of the beta testers and my guess on how far they are in the game. Each one will become 99% once the testing is complete. |

There are 3 testers for Mikhail because I believe it is harder to test and it has more bugs.
