AI-powered translation & modding tool for Twine, Ren'Py, RPG Maker and Tyrano games
⚠️ Work in progress. OctopusBridge is under active development. Bugs, crashes and corrupted translations are possible, especially for the Twine engine. Always keep a backup of your game before translating, and report any issues you find.
OctopusBridge translates and mods PC games. Translation is batch-based: text is extracted from the game files, translated, and written back before the game is launched — no manual copy-pasting, no editing the game's source files by hand.
| ⚡ Fast batch translation | Up to 100 lines per batch, several batches in parallel — ~28,600 lines/min on Google's free endpoints. |
| 🤖 AI-assisted & free options | No keys, no sign-up needed (free Google/Bing endpoints). For heavy workloads, connect any OpenAI-compatible API. |
| 🎮 In-game cheats & tools | Variables, gold, teleport, map editor, save editor, resource browser, font patch — per engine. |
| 📚 Glossary & translation memory | Shared SQLite database across all your projects, with automatic game-code masking (\C[8], <center>, …). |
| 🧠 AI corrector | Polishes translations using glossary + context, and shows you a diff to review before applying. |
| 🌙 Clean UI | Dark theme, Russian/English, system tray, drag-and-drop, built-in changelog. |
