this is the table I saw in one of the videos that started popping up one after another yesterday, I wasn't aware there is that 200k threshold, I wonder why they wouldn't include that in the table, just mention a threshold, but still this move from unity screams greed, probably pump and dump scheme on the stock market
)? That's the thing that worries me, and I guess, a lot of devs.
Only English, Spanish and German translations are available for the moment in v0.1.5.
Yes, but typically they're one update behind.
Hey Sycho.
Well, there is a bit of a problem with that, as you may well know... The only translations in the game are what is already established (this has been discussed in the other game threads ad nauseam), otherwise Faerin would have already included them in the games.
Love and Sex: Second Base, I'd assume
Sycho:
That is usually Ren'Py, they don't work the same way. Ren'Py is pretty much designed for it. With Unity, you can't really do that after the fact. At least not the same way.
Usually the Dev has to extract the Dialoges, and send them to you, (separate them from the code) after you translated, you send them back and he adds it when he is putting together the new update, that is why they are 1 version Back It is a bit of work to do this in Unity, In RenPy you can do it by yourself quick and easy, when you have the RenPy developer programm,
Anyone with a text editor (Notepad++ for example) and UnRen can make changes to Ren'Py games, including translations. I clean up typos and grammatical errors in a lot of Ren'Py games that I play, though that's one thing, this is completely different. This being a Unity game, you can't do that and expect the game not to crash. I've actually seen it happen when a player made an Italian mod for MwM (since that language is not supported) and the game crashed as a result. He then came on to Discord expecting me to fix the issue that he created himself by modding the game to support his native tongue. It didn't end well for him.
And sometimes if you assume, you don't make an ass out of u and me. This is correct, of course.

At any rate, as I've mentioned quite a few times before (I hate repeating myself, but it looks like I have to in order to clear the air here), the languages that were in MotH before its release on Steam were removed from the game due to lack of sales in those countries (Italy, Poland and Turkey). As a result, they will not be included in this game. Faerin isn't going to add any additional support for other languages just to appease pirates or for one player. Although offering to translate the game is a generous offer, it's just not going to happen.
Well, I understand you all, The Devian, xapican and Sucho. I also forgot to mention that maybe if the game had been released on Steam, it would have been or could have been in that native language, but as you mentioned, it ended badly for someone else. Considering further reading, you write that this is possible in Renpy, but I thought it was possible there, because some languages were added and it still didn't interrupt the game. Well, as you explain, Sycho, Unity doesn't have it, but I remember that Moth, probably because of some player, had Polish and it worked fine. Well, maybe someone there knew how to do it then. Well, maybe one of you can tell me if there is any program to translate the dialogues more easily and if in one of the games Timestamps: Unconditional Love or Timestamps: Lost Love you can somehow translate these dialogues into a given language faster. Because translating later after dialogues from each person is really difficult. If there was a program, maybe it would be easier for me. To put it simply, you have to translate it after playing the game or in the updates that have already been released to understand what is going on in the game's history. I understood . Regards.
Originally, he had more translators, but it is hard find good ones who do the work consistently and don't just ghost you. It is a lot of time, effort, and resources for something that have shown not to help him make money. On my game, I had 8 translators, doing 7 languages, and only 2 of them actually finished the intro chapter. You don't just have to do the work, you also have to coordinate with all of them, which can be troublesome at best.
I understand The Devian with this push. I have had such a situation more than once, but in other cases, so thanks for your sympathy and I know that there is no chance for additional languages. You have to come to terms with it, the only thing left is to explain the game to yourself in order to somehow understand the plot. Of course, when you press, you can always easily make something, but it's harder to undo what you did earlier. Thank you for your answer. Regards.
