Japanese text for text boxes?

[Giggs-Chan]

For my episode I'm planning to release it in English and Japanese. How can I get a text box to display Japanese text? I tried pasting it in the box and it doesn't work.

i presume you're using smbx2, which doesn't support non-ascii characters in vanilla textboxes. the best solution i can think of personally is to use a custom textbox library (littledialogue comes to mind) and create your own font graphic and configuration for japanese characters (though if one already exists someone may be able to point you to it).

however, i wouldn't recommend doing this until you've finalized the entire script for your episode and translated it, to save yourself the headache of drawing and configuring characters which you might not end up using.

I am using SMBX2, and I just wanted to know. My episode is clearly not finished, not by a long shot. Even after I finish all of my levels, I have to create the world map as well as fix any bugs that are in the game. I'm also thinking of putting the game on a CD complete with a jewel case and instruction booklet, like Nintendo would do to games they manufacture. For those that don't have a disc drive, I would also put a QR code inside the box. Of course it would be illegal if I sold it to the public, but I would make it like a collector's item. I'll ask for more information as soon as the entire game is finished and released. For some reason, I'm still waiting for Hatsune Blake to update the Minimalist HUD to version 1.2.
