I know. This is a machine translation. English is not my native language. I can't hire a professional translator yet.
Classical Catch22.

You can't hire a professional translator because you make to little money and you make to little money because you did not hire a professional translator.

Actually all you need is someone fluent in English to proof read. The translation is close, just needs to be cleaned up.

And that likely poses a minor problem at least.
To effectively proofread a translated text the proofreader basically has to be a native in that language to not miss details in the humor or drama department. Not every sentence that is correctly spelled actually is correct.

For instance see the "Let's eat grandma!" vs "Let's eat, grandma!" type of language error.

A "I had the highest score in the [language_type] classes at school!" is not really enough.
That person could clean up the text quite a bit, but it would hardly ever be good enough for native players.


I suspect not that many native english speakers are in the acquaintance group of the developer as games by russian developers tend to attract mostly russian players.

I will disappoint you, this game is not needed for nothing for Russian players

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Furthermore, several pictures are out of focus; they are too high or too low on the screen. For example:

And sometimes, when we roll back, the progress bar stays stuck on screen, like the Cheerleader bar in this example:

I'm confused here.

Does this simply take Kate's Story from Glamour and Continue it. Or polishes it up from Up to Down?

This is my author's idea of a game based on Glamour. This is probably the most accurate way. I didn't like that the author finally rolled up some lines in the plot for Kate, in particular the BDSM club, and I started making my own game. At first, as a fan craft, and after the author abandoned his own, I continued. But it is HIS game.
