-Author's notes:
-* Why plugin is necessary:
-** Replacing XTX textures with PNG on the fly.
-** Changed Clear Password from Japanese text to English text by also blocking swkbd to use only ASCII characters.
-** Translated hardcoded chapter names, notifications, Playing Log texts, settings descriptions, scenario endings names.
-* Ported translation has some slight changes to better fit into how text is rendered in Regista engine. Fixed also multiple mistranslations from <code>ijedi1234</code>'s mod.
-* Changes on top of porting original fantranslations:
-** Restored all removed texts affected by censorship.
-** Translated all movies.
-** Translated textures unique to Switch release.
-** Replaced ascii glyphs in original fonts with glyphs rendered with Noto Sans Mono ExtraCondensed Regular and Bold.
-* Scenario files were altered to not use precalculated animations for chapters names and endings names, instead using message text rendering. Reason is because there was not enough informations about how to decode animation table included with each file representing one text.
-* This release is based on <code>ijedi1234</code> work which used machine translation (<code>ijedi1234</code> never admitted to using it, but by looking at translation quality it shows signs of using chatGPT-like tools). Since I'm good at finding discrepancies in translation when lines are voiced, I have fixed many mistranslations (but because I'm not native English speaker I was using Google Translate to translate Japanese to English, and then I was fixing discrepancies - Google Translate was doing much better job at translation than GPT). I didn't use Tico Translations as base solely because scenario files of original game have completely different layout than Flowering Abyss version (plus there are some differences in scenarios), so it would take much longer time to finish this mod.
