It's a porn game dude, not a AAA game, it's not the same having 7 or 8 languages than 2. English it's the most universal language you'll have.

Not to mention tons of these Japanese developers especially are:
1. Doing this on their free time akin to indie devs.
2. While they are getting "lots of money in", they may have to pay a ton for hosting it on dl site and other sites to sell it, and also even more for translating it. Unless they're drawing or programming the stuff too, that's also more of a money drain. Advertising on those sites could also be a factor along with outside advertising.
3. A massive language barrier. Most (don't want to say all), Japanese developers don't speak/understand fluent English, and don't understand they may have a pretty big to massive oversea audience. Hiring a person to translate for you so you can communicate with that audience would be even more expenses.
4. Pretty obvious, general living expenses/entertainment.

It takes a lot of work to translate stuff. It's not as easy as clicking a button or just looking at a Japanese word and changing it to English. The sentence structures are completely different. You have to completely rework the whole sentence into something that is coherent and makes sense in English. For example, in Japanese, you would say "I apple ate." In English, you would say "I ate an apple." And that's just the basic kindergarten stuff.

1)Yep, as free time project it may be difficult to work on a translation, but asking for help that I'm really sure most people would love to hand(I myself I'm helping a dude constantly to test a porn RPG and even helping him correcting words, the game it's in English but it's not my first language, still i don't care to help).
2) Dl works the same as steam for what i know, so they just take money in fees in base on your sales.
3)I know japanese it's complex AF, that's why I'm saying about a professional, still there's ton of people who translate Japanese stuff.

They'd be happy to translate it in english if lots of english reviews are been left on dlsite or other sites, or been indirect contact to support the developers financially. If you don't and just be like "I'm willing to help", literally nobody will be willing to translate it if you just "asks for it" like a bloody child.
Do you even know the amount of effort and time that you need for a good translation? Even for professionals? I myself have been translating Captured Adventurer (yamada workshop) and the latest work by M-gentlement after-party, which both are brought from dlsite with my own money, and it always took me at least 3 hours for a single scene, and not to mention the testing to see if the text fit in the text box perfectly or any grammatical issues, and since I'm not a native speaker for Japanese, I have to go through some lines again and again just to figure out if this is the right meaning. and do you expect all that time and effort just for asking help?
Also do you think the game really has large audience for the english speakers? yeah maybe, and will the majority of the "large audience" actually go onto dlsite and buys the game directly from the developers form sites such as dlsite? or search online for "free english versions"? think again yourself, either you go translate it yourselves, or stop being childish about the developers not adding another language.

Managed to get 100% mood by the end of the date, I'm guessing since it's an alpha that there are more planned events for the DLC. Is it only the anal scene, or does the scene at the end change based on your choices of where to go/what you do/say?
It's just the one scene. What you do and say are just different ways to hit 100% it seems.

I had no idea there was DLC planned. Seems like it's one new character (fox lady), and dating mode + new sex scenes for every character. Can't wait.
No matter where i look there's hardly any videos about the game's sex scenes. It's mostly just the step mom and step sister
