Answered by Kal via the Steam forums. You could try the Discord Mod Channel to ask about a Chinese translation mod, if not you would need to look for some screen reader software to translate.
There will be no official language support besides English for the foreseeable future.
"Regarding Translations
Hey folks! We've been getting lots of requests to add more translations to the game.
I wish we could, but sadly we don't have the budget or the team capacity to do so without significantly slowing down content production, and that's a hit we can't afford to take right now.
The game will launch in English only.
The good news: we won't be encrypting the game files, so unofficial translations and mods will be fully possible. If the community wants to build localizations or other mods, we're happy to leave the door open for that.
We hope you understand! We hope you will enjoy the game.
Thank you."
Fair, though I do not see the hardship in Kal having both the Patreon and Itch posts queued up in two tabs and clicking post at the same time. I see no issue with the mentions of Roundscape Eclipse in the Patreon post (in fact this is a good cross-sell opportunity which Kal should do more of.) It was the way the itch post took so long to come in that gave the impression that the Starmaker progress update appeared to be locked behind a paywall. I know it is petty, but can leave a bad impression.
Thanks nearly done with these now, will do a couple of reworks for the ones I am not best pleased with and a couple of Anna ones at the end. Then will move to beach collection. Maybe 1.9 will be out by then so I can work on some new characters 😅 I am gonna work on Megan (not a main character, but she is my favourite extra) and Sam tomorrow.
Only in the way you can select outfits within the studio today and the random costumes she wears in events. Having a costume selection option would require a major rework to the sprites and CGs as the images and sprites are static images. e.g. 40 images become 400 with 10 sections.
On slut, there was supposed to be final evolution costume for Anna like the kitchen outfit, with a different one for slut/love routes. However this seems to be have been dropped and not mentioned since 😔 You can see glimpse of what this would have looked like by taking picture of Anna in the Club for slut route.
