Therefore, less budget remained for translations than we initially anticipated. Altogether, the overall budget required to complete the game increased by the time the pandemics ended. Based on community feedback throughout the years, we also changed the scope of some things in the game and refined/reworked certain features. Unfortunately, as an indie project, we faced many difficulties in the years following the Kickstarter, including the challenges caused by the pandemics. Question: As a small indie studio, you still had a budget for the game and translations, what happened with that? You also had a Kickstarter campaign.Īnswer: As stated on our Kickstarter page, the Kickstarter funds were only a part of the funding that we secured from external sources. We will post more information about them in the upcoming days. By the way, Russian and Turkish translation will be added very very soon. Should I forget it?Īnswer: Definitely not! As soon as we have more information (such as an ETA) about a particular language, we will let you know. Question: My language is still not there anyway. Skipping/postponing language X wouldn’t have helped for adding language Y at all. We don’t prefer adding language X to language Y because we like X better than Y, but because there was enough time and budget for language X. For example, some of the existing/upcoming translations were made by our friends or enthusiasts of the genre/game, who are professional translators but translated Black Geyser basically for free or at a very low cost. Why were some languages already added that have a much smaller player base compared to other, major languages that are still unavailable?Īnswer: As a small indie studio, we are adding languages that we can, not the ones we want to. Translating this many words is usually very expensive, and takes a very long time for an affordable translator. The game currently has more than 280,000 words of text, which is an extreme amount of text for an indie title. The only thing that determines which languages are added are our possibilities, including our financial options. Why are some languages available while others are still not? Do you prefer some languages to others?Īnswer: There is no preference between languages, we would love to add all of them. Question: I thought the game would be translated to my language by now.
