I played the first hour. It has great art and has plenty of content, but unfortunately, yea, the machine translation kills it. It's worse than the early OneOne1 translations (makers of Dark Elf, The Heiress, Material Girl, etc.). Gold Scientist has text wrapping issues, and anything that isn't in a text window is left untranslated, probably because the machine translation couldn't reach it. Occasionally, even text inside text windows isn't translated, usually when a character is incoherent or stammering their speech.
I'm dropping the game in hopes a future translator will pick it up, because I think the game has great potential as a project. I would only recommend this game in its current form to anyone who has beaten every good translated RPGM game and are desperate for new content.
