EMP-Go! Ed's Massage Parlor!（ENG/CHN/JPN）

Ran into a bit of an issue.  Half the game is English (as that is what I set it to) but many parts are still not English (such as the quest log, equipment, skills, the overhead shortcut menu, and whatever it says on trees and things in the world).  Did I miss something or are these things just not translated yet?  Makes the game tricky to play if I can't read the quests, figure out the skills, etc.

How do you switch which guy come to massage parlor

Where can i find the english version?

我已经付费了，然后下载，可是为什么在完成那个搬家具的任务后不能上2楼休息。卡在那里不能前进了，有东西阻挡在楼梯口，是不是我下载的是demo 版？

大大，h站那里还会继续更新吗？好多人在哪儿留言。

I'm an editor for hire, and I'm experienced in helping get games like this to a playable state in English.  For projects like this, I offer a fairly sizeable discount, and would be happy to help you get at least the English version the best that it can be.  Similarly, I can proofread/edit any ads you put out, etc.

I can provide references, if you like.  Just let me know if you're interested and we can discuss prices/terms/etc.

这个游戏的画风和内容深得本男铜的心♥♥♥~每个角色都能勾走我的魂欸嘿嘿嘿......玩法也不错，虽然还有些和优点相比微不足道的改进点，但是总的来说像我这样的变态没有理由拒绝这样优秀的游戏惹（悄咪咪地问一句，会有更多xp出现吗，想看小吉舔艾德的袜脚...或者反调教之类的嘿嘿嘿）

遊戲不錯，雖然字體和翻譯部分有點令人難過XD

說回來尿液play和凌辱play兩者是這遊戲裡的常駐要素嗎？個人希望能有選項能把這些play隱藏起來

然後艾德會一直都是1嗎？好奇將來有沒有當0的選項

Hey, this game looks pretty good, can’t wait to play the whole thing when it comes out, I actually can speed a little Chinese and I can say that it’s pretty good. Keep up the good work.

大佬牛逼٩(๑´0`๑)۶游戏相当精彩

这个游戏以后会出安卓版吗，现在用模拟器玩着，看不到任务是什么（任务界面是黑的），所以卡在了武器店老板的任务那(:3_ヽ)_

I really wanted to enjoy the game, but sadly it's not fully translated yet. Can we at least got the machine translated version first then improve english over time? (that way you can catch english speakers or even get people to help you improve your in-game texts too!)

A compelling game with an enjoyable premise. I enjoyed what content I understood and want this project to succeed so I'm going to go over roughly what I liked and what I believe can be improved. Please bear in mind this is but one man's opinion so feel free to disagree. I can only comment on the current state of the game in the English translation so I apologize if I miss anything that's in the Chinese/Japanese version.

As a side note: to move the furniture Press B then press Z

Strengths

+ Love the furniture options

Haven't seen this in an RPG maker game before, but the possibility to design my own house/shop is very compelling. Adds an interesting gameplay loop, possibility of crafting? possibility of gathering resources? possibility of shops to buy new furniture/upgrade/expand facilities? Possibility of furniture granting stat bonuses? Possibility of expanding the parlour through upgrades? Really good idea, looking forward to seeing more about it.

+ A lot of content already

This speaks for itself, if more of the game is able to be translated I believe there's already a lot of content to be enjoyed by players. 

+ Good art!

A lot of assets have already been made and the quality of the art is extremely good! Whilst I'd love to see more CG scenes rather than sprite art, it's already very promising. 

+ Wide range of characters

Whilst I can't speak to the depth of the characters or their relationship with the main character due to the limited dialogue currently, the wide range of designs is interesting. I'd definitely recommend creating a few furry characters, but that's up to your preference.

+ Sound Design already!

Music isn't annoying and from what I've seen, fits with the zones. Already small sound effects are scattered about here and there which helps with immersion.

Weaknesses and Possible Solutions

-The menu nearly stopped me from playing

Possibly the biggest issue I found so far, especially for something which seems relatively minor. The game doesn't immediately present an 'English' option and starts up in Chinese, I, therefore, assumed the translation was broken or I installed the wrong file. If I was in a different mood I would most likely have uninstalled the game and played something else (I would imagine other people at this stage would do the same thing). I really do think this should be fixed asap.

Possible Solutions:

1. I think this one is a fairly easy fix, start the game up in English depending on which language settings are installed on the PC (probably quite complex)
2. Include separate download files for Chinese, Japanese, and English
3. Include an option on the title screen for changing language. This could be with a flag (if you have the technical know-how) but it should be very easy to spot

- Necessary gameplay instructions should be translated asap

Much like above, anything which requires an in-game description in order to advance (quests, etc) should be prioritised. I struggled to pick up furniture and place it due to not understanding the instructions (No Z instruction given). Solutions for this should be obvious!

- The English translation reads poorly:

 Whilst I'm no translator, I'd imagine that whoever is doing the translations currently is able to get the gist across from Chinese into English. I've found this game to suffer from the same problem as Uncle Neighbour: a game which is understandable in English, however, breaks the player's immersion due to the way it's been translated. I.E, wrong tenses, wrong pronouns, strange way of wording, or the occasional nonsense sentence (imagine machine-translated Chinese).

Possible Solutions:

1. Leave it as is, focus on translating as much of the game as possible and hopefully fix it at the end: This was the goal of Uncle Neighbour, but sadly due to whatever reason it didn't happen. 
2. Hire a professional translator, this will solve the issue of English Translation but would be extremely expensive depending on scope. I.E. following along the same vein as Hachienden Heroes. This game receives small but regular updates monthly to very high translation quality.
3. Continue with translation services as they are and set up a discord for the game. Using the discord try and find native English speaker volunteers to edit the script in order for it to read well. If you know any native English speakers willing to help out, try asking them. The obvious downside is you will potentially lose the original meaning/or intent of the writing. This is my preferred solution, but it's not my game.

- Words are cut off at the end of sentences:

 Following in the same vein of the English translation being off, the cut-off words break the flow of the story as well as immersion. I'm no programmer so please ignore the solutions if they don't offer a fix or are downright wrong.

Possible Solutions:

1. I'm unsure of your proficiency in English but if it's to a conversational level, play through the version in English and edit what words are cut off. If not, try and find someone to go through and find potential issues.
2. Check whatever you're using to program the game to see if it's able to identify English words, if so, is there an option to automatically go to a new line? For example, what I'm typing right now when I reach the borders of the textbox and my word isn't finished, it will automatically go to a new line.

- Some content is too extreme for a more casual player:

Honestly, I'm a degenerate so I'll like almost all content apart from super extreme (I.E. shota, scat, gore). However, as a commenter below mentioned, they tried to skip a WS scene. No matter what 'solutions' I propose here, it really depends on your vision of the game. I also wouldn't call these steps particularly vital at the moment, just things to consider.

Possible Solutions:

1. Include a preference section OR an option to 'skip' the extreme content before the CG appears
2. Fade to black instead of a skip, keeping text but removing CGs.

Conclusion

A game with combat, house design and lots of areas to expand and is well thought out. Glad to see more Chinese BL games being brought over to the English market, God knows I want to play them but am limited by my language skills. Would love to see corruption/mind control content but that's personal taste.

Whilst the weaknesses/solutions section looks dense it's mostly reiterating that the game is currently difficult to understand from an outside English perspective. I'd highly encourage setting up a discord server and looking for help from native English speakers to help translate certain texts or give feedback.

Okay so I played until the English ran out so here's my take on it.

I love the concept, it's a fun mix of BDSM, Demonic Corruptions, daily grind, resource collection, and fighting monsters which I love.

I am however not a fan of watersports and tried to avoid it entirely. I wasn't able to seeing how there is a literal ward stopping you from leaving until you piss down someone's throat on day 3...or was it 2? Doesn't matter, still not a fan of that.

This is mostly preference, but most scenes seem to be leading towards being a top and I'm a 100% bottom so I'm hoping that isn't the case later on down the line.

All and all, the game has potential and I'm looking forward to its Developmnent. Thanks for reading my review and have a nice day.

Oh this looks so fun, BDSM and hunky men. My only suggestion is to add the Bara tag, since alot of these guys fit that description. And tags helped the game reach a wider audience.  Also these tags Adult, LGBT, and Boys' Love. Anyway keep up the great work and I'll support you on Patreon, even if your not super active, 3 bucks is an easy steal, for work like this. Wishing you the best in translation, and in making your erotic story as great as you want it to be<3

I got to the point where I am supposed to bring furniture in, but I don't know where the furniture is. Not sure if it tells me in Chinese, but I'm playing in English and don't know how to read Chinese.
