Shame on the developpment team to Not have realeased the english version of Tokyo psychodemic

[valery98]

Shame on you guys shame you should have asked our consentement before delayed the translation !!!!

[Tblue]

First, "consentement" is not a word. You meant "consent".

Second, what do you mean, "consent"? The developers don't owe you anything. You haven't even bought the game yet!

Third, English language support is coming: https://steamcommunity.com/ogg/2397140/announcements/detail/4174353069096088814?snr=2___

News regarding the release date for English and other languages soon!🌎

And lastly, the demo apparently has English language support, so you can try that while you wait.

I,m angry because they should have finished the translation a long Time ago !!! And realeased it on 30 may like they have Saïd a long Time ago !!!

Delays happen. They're being open and communicative about the English version. I'm fine waiting for it to be polished a bit more, nothing annoys me more than a game I'm looking forward to having a poor translation.

It's impossible for them to have finished the translation a long time ago because that would mean they should have finished the full game a long time ago. Translation is the thing that is done until the very end (except for stuff that isn't going to change at all any more), just before QA. You can't translate what isn't done, or it's a waste of time.

I understand you are disappointed that it isn't ready, I am as well, but I am also happy that they at least take their time instead of throwing in some machine translation or badly translated text which makes the game unplayable anyway. And like I said, I have a physical PS5 order that just shipped tonight which is going to unusable for me until they release a patch, it is what it is. Let's just hope the translation that comes out of this is going to be good.

It,s the developpers game fault in détective Pikachu 2 and Another Code: Recollection

We,v had a full language translation for the realeased date Not here . So i think start that the psychodemic team IS selfish to Not have made a full language realeased

Then just don't buy the game. You making a bazillion threads about it isn't going to change it. It just makes the chance of them ever translating any of their next games smaller. I personally like to encourage Japanese devs to release their art outside of Japan, it's one of the reasons why I double dip on some releases and why I buy their releases physically in some cases.

Hell, I bought (and played) Gnosia 3 times (Switch digital, Steam digital and PS5 physical) because I never thought I would ever see the game when it was announced on Switch for Japan and I ultimately liked it a lot.

Making video games is hard and stressful, I am sure they are kicking themselves as well that it didn't work out, but it's better like this than to have a basically non-functional translation.

Probably because they were originally planning on releasing the game with 4 languages on launch and demo's are typically done and polished months before they release so they had plenty of time to translate it. They were trying to build hype for the game with that demo, which clearly worked.

My guess is that there are either issues (them being late or not good) for 1 or more of the extra languages and they decided to just release them all at a later date when their done OR they need extra money to finish those translations and they are trying to get some of it by releasing the game in Japanese only. This doesn't seem like a huge studio/publisher, so either could be true in my opinion. Delays happen a lot in video games, but they decided to release the Japanese version because it was basically done in this case.

But why they ,ve had issues they,ve had plenty of Times to translate this game right ? and do you think we should stalk the developpers team to have answers ? Because they don,t answers our questions

I don't know, but they probably didn't have enough time to translate it. You can't translate what hasn't finished or you are doing double work and games and software in general changes typically right until release. Also don't forget that different langauges have different "sizes" with how much space specific things take, it's possible the UI needs to change for some of the langauges which takes time. It's also possible one of the languages isn't done and they decided to keep all of the non Japanese ones for a big patch. So I don't know, but VN's in general have a lot of text. It's like saying, you had plenty of time to write a book with 300 000 lines of text (and it's not just writing, but translating that text). I am obviously pulling that number out of thin air, but there are VN's with that amount of text.

What I DO know is that it is NEVER ok to stalk or harass a dev team for any game. Those are all human being doing the best they can to finish the game. They don't owe us answers, I rather have them work on the game instead. Also, there is a good chance the devs don't speak a lot of English either. Just let them work.

I rather them give answers about the delayed and when it will be realeased !!!

They probably don't know yet, it all depends on the translation teams which are typically not managed by the devs.

[valery98]

And they speaks english since they have made an english demo

Games/demos are usually translated by an outside translation firm, that stuff is not done by the devs themselves. You don't seem to understand how gaming development works to be honest. Devs are programmers that make the game, translation is done by translators, people who studied translating things. Otherwise it would be terrible. In a lot of cases, the devs might not understand what the translations say, they only check if the language changes when they click the button to change it.

Please calm down.
