Yeah, Enyo Eerie is the least Russian username I've ever heard. The primary reason I brought the translation issue up is because, for the life of me, I couldn't find a single time when he has mentioned what language he wants his content translated from.

He did mention that this update has 100 pages of translation. That's a lot... 40,000 words?! That's probably multiple times more than the entire game has in it, up to this point. Even at sub-standard freelance rates, 40,000 words is as near, as makes no difference, four months of his Patreon earnings.

In that kind of situation, it would be best to just get shoddy work from a dozen volunteers, and then pay for proofing. Hell, it would be cheaper to Google translate and then pay for proofing.

Perhaps by "100 pages" he means 100 dialogue-box pages? At 40 words, that's 4,000 words or about a week's worth of translation effort or about two days worth of proofing of volunteer text.

I don't know! It's such a mystery! It's been kind of fun theorycrafting.

I like to imagine the translator getting up every day and hiking up to the top of a mountain, where he is given cumbersome clay tablets written in Aramaic. Then, he lumbers back down the mountain with his cargo and translates it. Afterwards, he encodes it into a Nazi Enigma machine and radios the translation to another translator. There's no functional reason for him to do it, but it is done anyway. Then, the second translator painstakingly decodes the transmission using a complicated antique computer made of brass and copper.

The first deadline was on 15th February. How can you say the update will be ready on 15th February when today, after 3 months, it's not? Either he was making fun of people or he doesn't know what he's doing
100% not the first reason. Probably second :HideThePain:

Translation issue my ass. Really disappointed. Pls, at least try to be creative when lying.
He's probably making another overhaul and there's zero new content.
Nope, I'm not lying. If I'd need to lie I'd come up with something more interesting :WeSmart: . Also, there is only new content in the new update., I can assure you ;)

I don't know about icstor and how he's doing his job. But I work hard every day to deliver update as fast as possible, don't worry, guys ;)
well nowadays his job seems to be milking of his supporters instead updating his game.

What language are you writing your content in? How much are you paying for translation and how much translation do you still need (word count > page count)?

Waiting is part of all games here. As long as we get more Tiffany and Mia eventually I'm okay with it.

Sorry. :( Right now I can't put animations in the game because my skills at this not meet my standards. So I'll add animations as soon as I will hire an animator who will be great enough.
Right now I don't have enough money to do this.
Dear Enyo,
I want to congratulate for the class and skill in writing of the script. IMHO If someone needs animations, YouPorn is full. I prefer a nice interaction and a great story with exciting ideas.
Merci encore pour votre immense effort et partager de vos idées érotiques.

Ah, that's understandable.

Hey, what language are you writing your content in? How much are you paying for translation and how much translation do you still need (word count > page count)?

I asked the same question a few weeks ago, but never got a reply from him. He just doesn't want to reply to that question, I guess. Something tells me he's French like me.
