How GOOD this game I find here!

And then I have a request:

We sincerely hope that this game will support more languages. As a pretty good (in every way) game, can you allow us to translate it into Chinese (Simplified)? Of course, if other translators have started translating the game to Chinese, we won't take credit from others =)

My vision was that now that Ren'Py has built-in support for multiple languages, our translations can be easily used in the game across all platforms. Supporting Chinese will also allow your game to get more Chinese players, and we will also help promote the game so that more fans can discover this treasure!

This will be the first translation we have tried and we hope to get your support! The image below is the screenshot from my friend :)

BTW, The above content refers to a lot of machine translation, if there is a creepy English... I'm sorry - qwq -

Your offer is quite flattering, but personally, I wouldn't suggest translating the game at this time.

We plan on reworking the first few chapters of the story at some point for various reasons, such as certain sections being too long, too boring, or just because we wish to introduce new lore bits we hadn't previously thought of.
Furthermore, even if you do wish to go ahead with the translation nonetheless (knowing you'll eventually have to do it again), we wouldn't be able to assist with the efforts in any way (for example, we wouldn't be able to assist with translating the comics' textboxes in Chinese without harming the VN's artstyle).

If you truly do wish to translate the game at this point in time, I can only offer my well wishes to you and your team. My only requirement would be that you still leave a link to the original project wherever you post your own and don't claim ownership over the original property.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game so much that you wish to translate it. No matter what you choose to do, I'm truly happy I got your message. ^w^

Thank you for your support and encouragement for our plan. After all, this is our first attempt to translate a game. Regardless of the result, I hope we can stick to it (considering the speed of our translation, I think we may even have time to modify the translation after the new version is released (・ ω ・｀ll)）。 Finally, I still want to say that this is really a good game. I hope our final results can recommend it to more people.

Oh,I'm that "friend" mentioned by mangofanfan :P，and this is also my first online communication with a foreign game producer. Please forgive me if there is anything wrong with my language ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄。

Ok that’s fine, and still Thank you for understanding! We are really glad to get your reply!

In fact, whether you make mandatory requirements or not, we will leave a link here on the page of the translation project. I know that developing and producing a game is a very time-consuming, energy and creative work (taking into account that I have tried...). As a translator, we will mark the address of your original work and make any declarations that may be required when launching Chinese translations in the future.

My friend (that is, the one who replied to you together) has always been determined to translate all the current game content. I have provided him with some simple technical support and the production of picture materials (you also mentioned that some materials are not suitable for direct use in the Chinese version). In addition, I would like to know if you are ready to have built-in multilingual support in future versions? Since there are also Chinese players on the App Store who want the game to support Chinese, we hope our translations can help more people in the future!

Finally, thank you for bringing us such a wonderful game! :D

I do plan to support built-in translations of the game in as many languages as possible in the future, but right now, it's so early in development that I can't justify it. Once the game is close to completion or has reached a point in the story where it feels long and enjoyable enough, I'll start looking into supporting translators directly and integrating their translations into the base game. ^w^
