Updates for Dohna Dohna: Let’s Do Bad Things Together

Patch notes​

An additional script polish has been applied to preserve more of the original Japanese flavor and fix the most noticeable cases of over-localization.

Main changes include:

  • restored or corrected missing honorifics where they were omitted or written incorrectly;
  • restored honorifics where they were still missing
  • restored Japanese relationship/culture terms such as senpai/kouhai, ojou-sama, and maid-cafe style greetings;
  • restored otaku/Japanese references that had been flattened or removed, including onee-shota, tsundere, goukon, purikura/hame-puri;
  • restored selected cultural references that had been replaced with more generic wording, such as red rice;
  • corrected several lines where the localization smoothed over or erased cultural aspects
  • Standardized the Founder's Birthday event wording as Festival instead of the more generic Ceremony where the Japanese used festival-style terminology.
  • Replaced the over-localized Madam/the madam rendering for お嬢 with Young Lady/the young lady where appropriate.
  • Restored remaining Onee-sama(s) where it had been flattened into Sis.
  • Restored several ALyCE lines where Onii-chan/Kuma-oniichan is part of her character voice and appeal.
  • Restored third-person self-reference character voice where it had been flattened into regular first-person phrasing. This especially affects characters whose speech style intentionally uses their own name, including ALyCE, Kanono, Miruki, Shuko, Porno, Tsuina, and Noel.
  • Adjusted affected lines to keep this character voice while still reading naturally in English, avoiding awkward constructions where a character sounded like they were talking about someone instead of to them.
This is a major update, so I recommend updating, because a lot has changed here (583 lines affected)!

Major update
- Fixed (hopefully) all instances where names and surnames were still written in reverse order
- Fixed a lot of places where honorifics had not yet been restored
- Updated the translation of several sentences.

Future updates will focus mainly on tweaking individual dialogue lines as I play through the game and hear something that differs significantly from the original dialogue. Fortunately, there aren't many such instances.
- Fixed some typos
