I would like to know if people like translations or if they rather want to play in English.
Unless the original version is in French (my mother tongue), I generally play in English even if there is a French translation.
Translations aren't always good.
Also, I'm quite fluent in reading English (speaking it, on the other hand, is a different kettle of fish :)).
And finally, it's easier when I want to exchange about a game on an international forum like this one, where English is the common language.

But, of course, it's just me.

I could not care less about translations since most of them are not so good as the original (or first translation in english). But if I want to play something with my girl, a translation comes in handy because her english is not that good.

NEED HELP from Spanish-speaking players!

Could you please estimate the quality of translation:

It's probably late now, but yes, it is well translated into Spanish. If we get picky, the “ja-ja” goes without a hyphen and without spaces: “jaja”. Unless the character is laughing in a special way, haha.

Yes, I have already released the game with this translation, but thank you anyway. At least, you are the first one who checked it out :)

What a coincidence, because I was just looking for a new VN to start with and this one seemed really interesting. And the fact that it was already translated into my language definitely convinced me, haha. Cheers! :coffee:

That's a good question. Personally, I only play in my language (Spanish) if the translation is good, otherwise I play in English. For example, the game "Third Crisis" comes with an automatic translation into Spanish, and sometimes it is almost impossible to understand what the texts are saying.

Personally I always play in English, though my native language is French. I've tried French translations several times, for a few minutes, but they were in such an incorrect language that it got on my nerves very quickly. Maybe in some other languages it's not so painful.

I havent goten the time to replay TBD in French, but I concur with your observation about translation. I would add that they also are usually "localized" to France rather than in a more universal French which takes me out of the immersion of the game.

So, it's been 3 months, but no news about the game. I would like to know that the game is not abandoned :confused:
You can see the development progress on his website:
As already mentioned, the next update that he will release is for his game Beauty And The Thug. Depending how everything works, the development of The Better Deal will go on after that.

Yes, this site is where I keep up with news about the game. But since the game appeared on Steam and the 0.5c update, there has been no news about further development. Thank you for your reply, I will continue to wait for new updates

I think this game is outstanding. A little thing, but I love the bar that shows progress of the animations and then when it will repeat. Story good (the life situation setup before the deal is basically something I have actually seen), graphics and models excellent, and erotic, with great build up followed by the animations, which are generous in time and great in content. My opinion is based upon a route I am picking that is all lesbian. But I am guessing other routes are the same. I like Beauty And The Thug too and given their graphics level I can understand the time involved for updates given the quality of both.

Game on sale on Steam

I used to play in English, but lately people have been using Google Translate to translate from the developer's native language to English, so I've been preferring to use a tool I bought that translates directly from the developer's native language to mine, and the results have been better in these cases.

Hello Dev, I got the game on Steam and the translation to Portuguese is perfect so far. However, I reached a point that I believe is the end of Chapter 1, where there's an error in the game that prevents me from continuing, even when I choose to ignore it.

Analyzing the translation script code, I detected that a part of it was duplicated on line 2798.

I removed the block of code from line 2798 to line 2893, and the game ran perfectly.

Since this code was already defined starting from line 2896.
