bruh

How did you get to know MarikinOnline4 ? i knew the game thanks to you ( ^w^) thank you ~ . i wanted to play the game but sadly i do not know japanese ( ' ^v^ '') . i tried watching gameplay so i hope to know more about them since you drew them with so much characteristic :3c

I’m so happy you asked! I actually got to know about Marikin Online 4 through the fanart from one specific artist that I follow, who, at the time, was drawing a a lot of fanart for Bachikin and Sigkin. It got to the point where the more fanart I saw from her, the more I wanted to know about these two characters, and I also started taking notice of the fanart in the rest of the fandom. This kept up for a few months, until it came to a head on December 19th 2020, when I decided to go down the MO4 rabbit hole, and 3 hours later emerged a changed woman. Before the end of 2020 I basically fell in love with those two characters As for playing, I had the same problem you’re having because the game is only available in Japanese and fan-translated Russian, so for a while, I could only reference the wiki, and various untranslated playthroughs, and it was OK for a while but I REALLY wanted to try out the game myself, and yanno, get more context for characters/plot/lore/etc?? It’s hard to make fanart for something when you don’t have much to go by. My solution was to download the Russian version of the game, set up my phone to capture and broadcast it to my PC, while translating from Russian to English in real time. I could do this with the Japanese version but it doesn’t translate as coherently from Russian to English, and I wanted to understand what the heck is going on lol. Here’s my set-up btw, not the most intuitive but it gets the job done lmao

So yea, I’ve been playing it this way and I’m still piecing things together but It’s going great so far, I think I’m almost half-way through?? The only downside to this is that the Russian version is of a much older build of the game and since then, there’s been many huge updates that include new animations, attacks, music, updated UI, voice acting, and even an addition to the ending. And the creator is still adding and improving stuff to this DAY, which imo is impressive as hell and worthy of my respect. I am sad that there are no plans for an Official English release BUT there is an English translation of the game currently in the works by a small team of fans. It’s slow going for them because they’re basically doing this in their free-time, simply out of dedication and love for the game. They are also currently looking for folks who could help out with translating Japanese to English & who are experienced using T++. Here’s their official tweet about:

I don’t know how they’re doing nowadays but I’m sure they need all the help they can get. It would be amazing if they were able to finish translating it because it would be way more accessible for English-speakers to get into. Heck, it would be great if it got translated into other languages as well someday. Anyways, thank you for enjoying my fanart, and you are most welcome, I’m glad that my work introduced you to this great game, and I hope that you can play it yourself sometime! And sorry for spam, but I can’t help but ramble whenever someone asks me about MO4, which doesn’t happen very often lol. I just really love this game so damn much <=‘)

my art block is killing me so for now take a frog ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Картинка, на самом-то деле, без какого-либо смысла… Марикин и Сигукин (MARIKINOnline4) (и нет, я их не шипперю..нет..я шипперю(()  ── ✦ ── The picture, in fact, without any sense… Marikin and Sigukin (Sigkin?) (MARIKINOnline4) (and no, I’m not shipping them…no..I am(()

РПГ игра, если что, то есть русская (ФАНАТСКАЯ!) версия, но только четвёртая часть…

Хрен знает, почему я нарисовала Сигукина таким хмурым… хм…да Два головореза =D (не хватает только Джека, и тогда “банда” головорезов готова ( •̀ ω •́ )y )

ok...
