Hi, I played Crystal City while it was still active on Steam and later played Totem City. I still think about these games from time to time, especially since I recently got into Steam badge crafting and have been opening Crystal City booster packs for fun.
As you can see from my Itch profile, I used to release visual novels with a few friends until I became distracted by other pursuits. I still want to be involved with VNs though, and one thing that I thought of was that if your team is interested, I'd be willing to volunteer my time and rework the English localization of both Crystal City and Totem City to make them more enjoyable for a native English speaker. I admittedly can't speak any Russian (beyond a few lyrics from Rachmaninoff art songs), so I'd essentially be adapting the English translation already inside the game to create a more polished copy.
Please let me know what you think of this proposal. I hope to hear back soon!
