Exciting Milk - English Translation Patch by Alpharobo/Kirinn B/BabaJeanmel
Version 1.0 - 08/29/23

In this short, unfinished series of ADV games with limited interaction (the trademark of Silence games at the time!), you play the role of Kurumi, a high school girl who, through an unexpected turn of events, ends up sharing the body of a female time cop, Milk. Now that she can switch between two personas at will, she must stop a mad eco-scientist from the future, Amon, from fucking up the Earth's timeline by trying to save the environment from Kurumi's era (right, who needs nature anyway?...).

The subject of the game might seem controversial today, but it's still a lighthearted game that borrows heavily both from magical girls anime such as Sailor Moon and super sentai flicks. The animations are probably the best ones you'll ever see on PC-98. Too bad it's so short and was cancelled after only two episodes... but in the middle of the production, Silence suddenly realized porn games made them earn more money, so they stopped working on this kind of series to focus on their two Sogna-branded cash cows, Animahjong and Viper.

Oh right, I almost forgot... there is no porn in "Milk" despite what VNDB says. So you can play it even when the kids aren't asleep! How cool is that?

This project was pretty quick to do, as all the tools were already done during the Guynarock and Lime projects, and fully mature at the point I started working on the script. Alpharobo had to slightly tweak the executables to prevent a couple additional issues, but other than that, it was pretty much a cakewalk. The very short amount of text made things even easier...

This patch is basically a small bonus that took about two weeks to complete, after working eight months on Lime. Nevertheless, "Milk" is a nice little series, and we hope you'll like it.

Both episodes have been playtested both on emulators and real hardware. LowDefAl has reported an issue when using the FILMTM file manager to launch the games; it corrupts some of the animations. So make sure you always launch them from the command prompt.
If you happen to encounter other issues, please report them to me so we can work on getting them fixed. I'm active on the PC-98 discord and on GBATemp so you can find me there.

HOWTO
First, you need the Neo Kobe hdi versions of both episodes, entitled "Exciting Milk Dai-1-wa.hdi" and "Exciting Milk Dai-2-wa.hdi". Put them into the directory where you extracted the patch files, and either launch "COMBINE.BAT" to get an unique HDI that includes all 2 episodes along with a selection menu, or "SPLIT.BAT" to get 2 HDIs, one for each episode. The second option might be of interest to you if you emulate and use a frontend, for instance. It also halves the size of each image, as there was a lot of wasted space in the originals.
