Translations are a problem, no matter how "good" they are; Spanish is (very) complex. One thing is (or are) these sentences that you can somehow translate into something understandable.
But the more complex the text, the more the translation goes wrong!
This, unfortunately, I discovered late.
A good English translation is charged in dollars; a budget I can't afford!
Besides, my style is not what you could call "commercial"; so "money invested, money lost".
Better times will come, and if not, we'll go out and look for it!
Greetings!

No problem! This VN was the first one I made, it has many problems, even in the gameplay; as well as many innovations (even secret characters) in the point and click; there are times that they offer to translate or correct the translation; but since it's free, they do it just because they like the VN, they don't last long (it's hard work and very boring!).
It's frustrating as Dev; I tell you, one thing is that you play my vn, you understand it and you don't like it at all, no problem!
But in this style that, I try to support me not only in the sexual, that the translation takes you out completely, it's complicated for me.

Translation is actually OK. Some issues, mostly with idioms ("Whore who bore me!" - why would you say this about your mother? Do Spanish people really say things like this? 
), but I managed to get the gist of it.
But each time Eli or Abril started to talk about history, I was feeling either I'm tripping or they are or somebody is. Or all of this is just some crazy mess of mistranslation.
But eventually I figured out translation is fine. It's just not the modern Spain but some fantasy/occult/cyberpunk setting which looks on surface like a modern Spain. Which is kinda cool. But it burns your brain for a bit.
But it's a nice game overall. Got a huge Divi Dead vibe, which is a plus in my book.

This was my first Visual Novel; it's amazing, so I recently got nostalgic and I'm looking to make a remake (Reborn as I call it for Love MorteM).
I deleted it, like other projects.
Beyond its errors or flaws, it is true that it has a certain atmosphere, and the theme of the conversations (as you could resume the main story at any time) and the variable scenarios; I think it was a lot!
I didn't give up, and I kept trying to polish it.
It will depend on the support, too (not only monetary, but also the interest itself, qualifications, etc.).
But, I'm looking forward to work on a spiritual successor to TESS & The Blueprint Rquiem (this one was made for a jam, not with the idea of being a long game).
Without the Milagros part; I think that's enough for a separate story by itself (I was even looking into 2d artist, it's way over budget, but ok).
And the Cyberpunk part; well there's Love MorteM Reborn (and a prequel more focused on that).
ROTT (this idea) would be focused more on the "sandbox" part) with a main story, and several other ones.
Although currently there is Love MorteM & Tales From The Shadows (This one is more Bible Black).

By the way, this VN is also in "Argentinian"; the Spanish is even difficult for some Central Americans and Spaniards, in the other VNs; although the verbs are still the ones we use here; I made it a little more neutral to facilitate the translation as well.Translation is actually OK. Some issues, mostly with idioms ("Whore who bore me!" - why would you say this about your mother? Do Spanish people really say things like this?

Really hope you will return to this project. Game could use a bit of polish and rework probably, but it has a huge potential. Atmosphere, characters - all greatly done. I'm really such a sucker for this kind of stories.
I will check your other games for now.

,In Itch is updated; Love MorteM, wait a couple of weeks to update to public V0.5 (the 0.4 there is a bug that appeared to several, plus my updates, usually have a lot of content).It's tagged as completed but parts say they will continue in the next update, can someone explain?

The story was going to be much bigger; but I ended it in that part, to give it a closure, this was my first VN.

I'm just in the idea of making a remake, or rather a spiritual successor of this VN.

I don't know if anyone else is interested, but I started with the TESS Remake or reimagining.
I started with Irreverent Heresy. I prefer it's structure over TESS but appreciate the work that has gone into this game. Currently, I am stuck gaining stress without a way to decrease it (no money and too stressed to work). I look forward to the refinements of the later games coming to the remake of this game. The world building (factions, location, and history) is excellent. Keep up the great work.
From a translation perspective it seems like his and her are sometimes mistranslated which is understandable coming from spanish (su - ambiguous gender).
Like the mix of trans content and supernatural. You have a really unique voice in this space.
Okay, I addressed the stress (bath and watching tv twice helps). I will continue to learn the game systems. Now, it is time to figure out how to work at the Institute...the receptionist is always busy.

Thanks, this is my first VN, a lot of experience, the translation must be one of the worst!
The stress and stuff before was more complicated if you didn't go to the April department, I think I solved it later.
I remember something about the reception, maybe some quest is missing, but it was years ago.
I have in mind to remake TESS, although it seems that there are people interested in general in msi VN, I get less and less support and downloads, which is a bit ironic.
For something like TESS, you have to be very motivated, now I'm with the sequel to IH, which went very unnoticed; but the good thing about it is that Hate is too.
I understand your point. Given the level of support, I wouldn't tolerate much hate either. I like the vision behind your stories and your approach to the genre. I agree with motivation. It took me a bit to figure out the systems of TESS. Once I did, I was able to enjoy the story and scenes. I could not get into the MorteM games but will try later. Everything from IH forward has been excellent and the art has improved without losing it's personality.
If you ever decide to branch into pure writing (novels or novellas), you have built an interesting universe in your games that deserve expansion. Be encouraged, you are talented.

Thank you! I really appreciate this!
a lot of times Dev under work is very “lonely”, and it seems like what you do is either ignored, or it's for trolls to have fun!
It's nice to know that it's valued, especially the atmosphere and story part!
It is still very green as I am finishing IH and now with the sequel, IHII (which is the closest thing to what you say about making a novel).
It's in Alpha for now.
