## eratohoTW - MODDING BRANCH
The culmination of all the modding effort of eratohoTW.  
**All** modifications go here. Translations of the original text (and Color Map edits) go to Game/Translation.

### Branch Purpose
This is pretty much a final branch. The roadmap is as follows:
- Japanese update goes into game/japanese. The content of the branch is cleared beforehand to track moved/removed files properly
- Then it gets converted into UTF-8-BOM encoding in game/japanese-UTF-8. This is so that we get rid of mojibake and for convinience sake. The branch is once again cleared beforehand
- Merge UTF-8 changes into game/translated. All translations go there, including dialogue-related edits and mods
- Translation is merged here. Release is posted when enough changes accumulate

### Coding standards
To make merging in updates not hell, coding has to be done with minimal intrusion.
- If changes are massive and touch original lines too much, consider creating a function (in Qol_MISC.ERB for example) and calling it from where you want. If you simply need to remove one line, comment it out instead of deleting it.
- Try to make self-contained functions with minimum changes to original files.
