Translator++ Ver. 2.8.28 - RenPy Support! (Patreon)

Hello fellow translators,

This month marks the first Translator++ edition to support RenPy.

Changelog Ver 2.8.28  :

• KAGParser updated to ver 0.3
• Fix : KAG :faulty when parsing nested tags
• Fix : KAG :properly escape iscript & ignore tags
• Added support for RenPy games

 Warning! What follows is my personal rants and does not represent the truth, or the majority of the opinion whatsoever. You can skip it completely if you want. 

Translator Version 2.8.28 is the first version that will support the Renpy game.

Parsing python scripts and RenPy scenario files is much easier than KAG, but not without challenges at all. I still have to deal with the thing I hate the most in the programming world… which is Regular Expressions. And actually I'm not a fan of Python either (and any programming language that is bound to off-side rule) so I had to stomach these things throughout the plugin making process. Can you imagine the ordeal I’ve experienced?… but fortunately I survived.

But still, the experience of making RenPy parsers wasn't as “adventurous” as making parsers for KAG. 

If you remember again, mankind was introduced to KAG for the first time in 1998. Can you imagine the form of a visual novel in that year? When compared to other engines, KAG has developed very little since then…. However, there are still many developers who adamant on using this engine. The idea of this engine is: inventing the tag command (which heavily resembles HTML Code) with the hope of simplifying the scenario writing process… which ultimately complicates scenario writing even more. But hey, even with this very limited engine they can produce a high quality marketable visual novel…. Well that’s Japan for you… when they do their things, they do it thoroughly.
