Thank you for your honest review:)
I agree with you on most of the things you covered. The previous versions of the game suffered from low-quality translation. But from version 0.2.0 and on, we pay more attention to both proofreading and cleaning localization. Although I doubt that we achieved a high-level translation, we corrected most of the errors and put the whole English text into the most appropriate form. We did the best we could.
It took us about half a year to change and modify the game: we improved both some interface elements and some mechanics significantly. The result of that work can be seen in version 0.2.1. The changes also affected the plot: lots of stuff was changed.
As for the appearance, and the characters of the heroes, I want to comment here in more detail.
We agree that Elli’s clothes were inappropriate, especially the first set that Sardo bought for her in Aklorion. As for the second set, maybe there is something wrong with it, but we like it. Elli will get something new later, so everything will gradually change as the game develops.
As for Umi, it’s a different story. Yes, her first iteration, in the form in which she was before version 0.2.1, was an annoying character. I tried too hard to create an irritable character. In version 0.2.1, we strongly revised both her appearance and her nature as well as many events related to her. Perhaps she is still annoying, but now she has something more to catch the players’ attention.
If you have time to play the game again, we will be interested to know if your opinion about Umi will change, as well as about the whole game.
