The steam page has been fully translated to Brazilian Portuguese, and the game will soon follow. Maybe this problem did not happen so much with English speakers, but getting stuck in a game because you do not speak a language was quite common for anyone in Brazil. Until the last decade it simply was not common to have translations, much less voice acting. I remember asking for my uncle to translate something on the Jackie Chan game from PS1, or on the most broken English possible, parrot back what Spider-man kind of said to my English teacher. I was not proud to see that with my own game when kids went to play it. This went even for adults. One of the biggest questions for me while showcasing the game is when it would be in Portuguese. People see cute characters talk a lot and they are wasting time if they don't know what any of that means. Unfortunately back then the answer was... It is complicated.
It is hard to translate something constantly changing
When you're translating a project you're still working on, and something changes... you have to translate it again... and again... and proofread it again... and again... It is very easy to commit mistakes on every single step. The original idea for the game was to do a full release, and then move on for another language, and another language, and so on. That way you rarely have to go back, and you can even focus on the audience you're translating it for. For the demo, there were still things that we wanted to change, maybe make it longer. If you were around the release of the demo, you it was hotfixes over hotfixes. If we added more content, it would be this journey all over again. But at least for the demo, things are there to stay for a long time. It is finally time to address it. A few other things will come with it, I might add news to the website and a Portuguese landing page, maybe translate the game's title, but we'll have to wait and see. Anyhow, if you know anyone that speaks Portuguese, I hope they can experience the game like you did, and be able to laugh at the jokes, know what they're doing. Ale Munin
