Why the original author never translated his game to English, even maybe just using the AI tools?... I played it and liked a lot.
About your remake - cool idea, if you can add something new, or significantly remake the plot, keeping the original idea. I'm not a fan of pixel art, to be honest. And in this new style the characters look sort of older, I'd say (at least at the first sight).
Ai tool translation is not a fix for everything. Even with the best AI, Japanese is very hard to translate and you'll often get pronoum and name issues. It is even more true when the writing is more advanced like Orphan's cradle.
You can also meet the issue of text not fitting textboxes anymore and Orphan's cradle is too big of a game to even hook and translate through a software anyway. I've tried it and it always keep crashing the software. (translation++)
The game will keep the original story in an entirely new format. I can't wait to show more of it.
