SHOOTING GAME BUILDER.

For those who love SHMUPS (and to those who understands Japanese) there's a free game engine known as Shooting Game Builder (STGBuilder) in which you can make SHMUPS using an unique interface along with its own scripting system. It has become fairly popular to Japanese users and several Doujin SHMUPs were done with it (Infinos, Revolgear, Mecha Ritz, Kaikan, etc.), however, the official author has denied the existence of a official English translation, thus making it really hard to use to those who don't know any Japanese (especially me, i'm a novice to SHMUPS but the problem is i am terrible at learning French so Japanese is not for me).

The site for the program is here: http://blog.livedoor.jp/stgbuilder/, the actual program can be found at the second link in this post.

Few days ago i started working on a possible translation using a Resource hacking tool, but all i did was to translate about 60% of the program (roughly, because i use Google Translate) due to the other strings not being in the RCData and instead being hardcoded inside. I was wondering if i knew the programs used to translate RPG Maker 2003 back these days, but for those who have luck in understanding Japanese, you'll have a good time trying this.
