Hello.

I have been watching the MBAH channel for years.

Mainly because he plays games that I would never touch.

What can they say? I rarely play anything that is not a strategy, "mass effect" or "Witcher" . Your game is the second exception to this rule.

The way you write ...

There's something about it, that really resonates with me...

Aside from the financial issues, do you need some help with this project? Could I help translating this game into Polish languge for example, send a golden thought of the day, or something like that?

Aww, well that's awesome and I'm very honoured! I'm also a huuuge Mass Effect fan, haha. I'm excited to play the remastered trilogy, but I don't know when the heck I will get to because I struggle with allowing myself to take breaks from project work >.< I never did manage to play any of the Witcher games, but my brother has been telling me for years that I need to x3

I'm glad you feel that way about my writing :3 I have basically no confidence in anything I do, haha. So it's very difficult for me to tell if I'm making an okay job of things or if I suck!

It would certainly be cool to have a Polish translation :D But it would be a hell of a lot of work for you if you were to translate everything I have planned for the full game because, by the eventual end of it, it's probably going to end up quite long >.< It might also be a bit difficult to implement in terms of getting the expression changes to match up again because even though they only need to match the voice acting, I would likely have to change the trigger time of the expression changes in the text to account for like the difference in sentence lengths between languages and stuff. But still, it would be doable! And it would be nice to have the game available to play in different languages :3

You'll have to excuse how much of a noob I am because I had to Google what a golden thought of the day was x3 I don't know if Google is telling me the correct thing, but is it like an inspirational quote of the day type thing? If so, that's super sweet! If it's not, you'll have to explain to me what it is so I can learn, haha.

Either way, I really appreciate your kind offer :3 Any sort of support is wonderful because it can be tough working solo sometimes. Especially if you're having a hard day cos it can get very frustrating, and a few kind words can really make all the difference and lift your spirits ^-^

Don't worry about it. That's how things end when I try to tell a joke. As for translation, I have some experience in this matter and I know that like all things worth doing, they will require a lot of work.

As for help with the project, well ...

I've always wanted to make my own VN. Having an insight into the creative process would help me a lot. As you can see, I am driven by purely selfish reasons :)

Love to write more but I don't want to clutter your forum. How about e-mail?

Haha, I'm very hit and miss with jokes xD Sometimes I get them, other times I have to have them explained to me x3 or I get them after 5 minutes of thinking about them intensely, haha.

You should definitely give it a go when you feel comfortable to cos it's a lot of fun to make a VN :D

And sure, you're welcome to drop me an email: melancholicmarionette@gmail.com

I try to respond to stuff as fast as I can, but sometimes I end up forgetting, and other times my introvert brain decides it's had enough of communicating for one day so just shuts down and leaves stuff until the next day, haha. So don't worry if I'm a little slow to respond! I'll get there in the end :3
