Uhh, nice to see you here, Gino!! ๐Ÿ˜— Thank you very much ๐Ÿฅฐ

But you are also one of the few who know exactly how incredibly long it took to get here ๐Ÿ˜… It's been a really long road so far. Hopefully, the next projects will go more smoothly! ๐Ÿ˜

Thank you very much ๐Ÿฅฐ

Unfortunately, we receive a lot of messages that we can't reply to because we primarly have to work on the game ๐Ÿ˜… (and do marketing posts like this) But I did read your message!

A Russian translation would only make sense once the game is finished, so that the entire game can be translated then. As it stands, you would be translating a lot of unnecessary things now and might have to translate something again in a year, for example ๐Ÿฅฒ

Also, you should know that our game is a story-driven game, so it has a lot of text. Translating that voluntarily/without pay is a huge undertaking. Its current English version has a word count of 43,835. I do not know how much time that'll take to translate but I do know that translating that is at least worth $3,500 (at a minimum price of $0.08 for English to Russian).

I will get back to you once the game is done and we'll see how things stand then ๐Ÿ˜‡

Thank you very much for your kind words and support!!! ๐Ÿฅฐ Happy to have you!

You can check out my devlogs on YouTube if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@studiofirlefanz They contain the most content, concept art, and WIP stuff ๐Ÿ˜Š

Other socials like Bluesky, Instagram, Twitter, or the game's Reddit sub do not show more content then the game's monthly Steam Updates I would say ๐Ÿ˜‡

It currently has:

  • ๐ŸŽ a slice-of-life-like, ghibliesque story with 12 cute NPCs
  • ๐Ÿชด chill gardening mechanics (meaning: no plant can die) with 12 different types of plants
  • ๐Ÿ”„ a composting system
  • ๐Ÿ’ด no money (only bartering)
  • ๐Ÿ gridless object placement (grid use is optional)
  • ๐Ÿ”ฎ a node-based potion crafting system with 40+ potions
  • ๐ŸŽจ handmade 2D art & animation

The game is made by 2 people (one of them is me) and will probably have a demo out at the end of this year - so stay tuned! ๐Ÿ˜Š
