This seems ridiculous IMO, like, with the $$$ Akabur is making, how can he not afford a translation?They already have about 75% of the game translated, all im doing for them is the last little bit and proofreading the rest of the game. And from what was explained to me is that all they want is a machine translation so in some ways the way I was doing would have read clearer to a native speaker.
The russian mod makers have nothing to do with Akabur and so translating what they are doing is something he has nothing to do with? If anything Akabur is probably pissed that other people are taking what he made and making it better than what he has done.This seems ridiculous IMO, like, with the $$$ Akabur is making, how can he not afford a translation?
Heck, with how rabid his fanbase is, he should be able to find people who are willing to do it for pennies, if not outright free, seriously.
Going with a machine translation is about as bad as just not even doing a translation, possibly worse as your storyline you had for the game might get horribly convoluted at best, seriously.
My mistake then, from these two messages;The russian mod makers have nothing to do with Akabur
Yeah I asked if he wanted me to correct the sentences that came out of google translate and he said no.
I was under the impression that Akabur had gotten these guys to do it/asked them to do it, etc.And from what was explained to me is that all they want is a machine translation so in some ways the way I was doing would have read clearer to a native speaker.

"Beggar" is the wrong word. "Greedy" is more apt. He got rewarded for his great past contributions, then got rewarded even more, and then some more, and more. Now nothing is enough for him, and he would rather get more and more money than seriously work on his projects anymore.I have a strange feel about akabur. Yeah, he makes great stuff, i spent a lot of time in his game, but he is so...beggar i suppose
He's now stretching out the development of his projects just so he can get paid more since his Patreon goes per month instead of per creation. It's greed, sadly.He isn't taking any extra money. If he was doing something in a way to get more money, he'd be greedy. But he isn't. I'm not saying he's perfect but I wouldn't call him greedy. If he decided to charge for his games, then that would be greedy.
where did he say he was releasing less per month to wring out cash? his track record for development isn't much worse or better then when he didn't have it it took him a long ass time to get even close to finished version of magic shop and then he just dumps it for princess trainer after it became a tumor inside of magic shop.He's now stretching out the development of his projects just so he can get paid more since his Patreon goes per month instead of per creation.
