VN Unity Netorase Phone [v0.22.1] [Le Stag]

[Le Stag]

Hello, does anyone know if they plan to add more languages to the game.

I'd love to in the future.

Of course! For starters at least.

Hey

Of course! For starters at least.

Hey Le Stag. Is it feasible to rejig the previous update 16, so that buttstuff is untied from path? It could allow/force a supersub/subcuck to voluntarily give up anal ever, and allow different paths to let a bull take Laura's ass (forever or first), in the same way as raw sex can be given to them. As is, supersub has no choice, and others get nothing for foregoing anal until after Nathan. Additionally, I think many supersubs would like Laura's ass to be available to Oliver and others, if not them. "You like my ass? Its yours and my bulls, it will never be given to my boyfriend, you're the first real man, etc etc."
Posted this on patreon too. Love the game

you can outsource it

the moment public version releases - you give all lines to trusted persons for them to translate into languages you doesnt speak.
OR
you can find an enthusiast native speakers of foreign languages among your subscribers, who even (possibly) can translate for free . but in this case, at least you have to mark them in "credits", like an additional "app" on home screen.

ofc power of choice is in your hands, but please, do not MTL or google translate

I know there are several "crowd source" translation sites like

(which is free forever with project & team member management). Some are free, some aren't.

Some Devs go their own way. For example, Monolith Bay uses its self-hosted

(has shy of 10K lines of dialog).

I don't know if machine translate services like Google or other AI Translate services offer an API or bulk service without a fee.

If on a budget, there's also

a FOSS machine translation API translation service.

• It is available for an Offline install as well

  . Last release was on January 17 this year.
• It uses the

I know there are several "crowd source" translation sites

the moment you start translating using such services to non- West Germanic language group or Romance family of languages all translations become sucks
Of course, these 2 groups have a lot of languages: German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, etc, but rest of languages you cannot translate using online services. I mean, obviously you can, but it will be very bad for native readers.

 

[Fyo]

How do I use this

>>>Download the file.
>>> Go to Netorase phone save location. C:\Users\(Youruserhere)\AppData\LocalLow\Le Stag\Netorase Phone
>>>Copy all contents of that folder, if there are any, and paste in a safe folder elsewhere.
>>>unzip the downloaded file, and copy and paste its contents into the folder such that the previous data is overridden.

You have to replace files in this location

In this case, I volunteer myself as a russian translator.
No charge, only my enthusiasm to let more people fully enjoy the game, cuz most of the east European population doesnt even know english for, at least, B1 level, its more about A2

My issue isn't only with translating itself. It's also about implementing it. I'll remind you that this game started as a fun project I did for a few days/weeks before it exploded. It doesn't have language management. Most "system" text is hardcoded, and dialogues are in game objects, I cannot "give them" to anyone for now.

"Them" being the dialogue or the game objects? Because you don't need to give the whole files to people, just a .csv file with the text, and then implement it on the game.
Also, I don't know why people demonize automatic translator. Of course human translated is way better, but there's lot of H mangas for example that I could only read because of MTL, since no one wanted to do it.

Isn't that ironic (and kind of normal). You develop a fun project or cool tool (for work). It then becomes an established standard -- which sucks the fun out of it as you now must support it from cradle to grave.

For those asking for different languages, this is quick read on where a Developer would prioritize their translation efforts -- by sheer metrics:

You must be registered to see the links

( top 25 - they include first and secondary language for the totals )
1. English (1,456 million speakers)
2. Mandarin (1,138 million speakers)
3. Hindi (610 million speakers)
4. Spanish (559 million speakers)
5. French (310 million speakers)
6. Modern Standard Arabic (274 million speakers)
7. Bengali (273 million speakers)
8. Portuguese (264 million speakers)
9. Russian (255 million speakers)
10. Urdu (232 million speakers)
11. Indonesian (199 million speakers)
12. German (133 million speakers)
13. Japanese (123 million speakers)
...

I think it's okay that Le Stag doesn't translate it. He's covering most around 1.5B folks. Plus his LOE to abstract his strings from the object, totally not worth it.

Lesson learned, maybe his next project will leverage LANG files ... or not. Again LOE. If he did, he would only need to focus on the classic western languages (due to tech gear), it would have nearly 3B folks. Add in Mandarin & Japanese, it would be close to 4.5B. And that's a substantial number of folks on this hurdling rock.

I don't think the most spoken languages of the world would be similar to the most spoken languages on these porn games community.
For what I saw on other projects, Russian seems to be one of the most popular languages on these things, and brazilian portuguese have good numbers as well, despite both of them being on the low end of this top 10.
Mandarin I also see, but japanese I think it's rarer, probably too busy playing their own VNs... Hahaha

Now someone needs to get a grant and conduct a proper research on national and linguistic representation in adult games community.

I'll have to move the dialogues to a file, then back again. That requires developing the system around it, which is not the top priority right now.

That will definitely be done in the end though. To be honest, I've even started it just a bit, you can, in theory, have the home screen in french already.

there are many creators from Russia, not recipients of content (especially paid content)

LeStag - you are making a great game, don't waste your resources (time, energy) on language projects

From what I've seen some of the biggest reasons there's not much russian "payers" is because they can't use Patreon and SubscribeStar, but they use Boosty if available.
Regardless of it, being a language spoken for many players, free or not, maybe having it could act as advertisement for a lot of nee players?
Not saying it should be done, as translations need a lot of work, just saying what I observed in here.
