Version 1.4 Update and Postmortem on Translation


Version Update

Quick update for Dear Devere. Below are a list of changes from the last version:

  • Version number changed from 1.3 to 1.4 (and 1.4.5 for the Steam version, as the Steam version has some minor differences in the Credits to fit with Steam's guidelines).
  • Help Screen: “Allows you to delete a save file \n(while hovering the mouse over it).” line removed, as the game uses a delete button instead.

Changes regarding the Simplified Chinese translation:

  • Translation: "Sounds like a right serpent..." line updated in Chinese (before it repeated the next line).
  • Translation: "In Australia, my parents…" line has one Chinese character altered in the translation.
  • Translation: "The teapot rose up and poured a cup for me…" line has one Chinese character altered in the translation.

Postmortem of the Simplified Chinese Translation

Big jump in downloads on Steam after the Simplified Chinese translation was released:


Same with Itchio:


Odd thing is that on the 1st of August, there's 57 downloads but only 6 page views. I'm not sure how that happened, but I assume not all page views were counted--Or maybe one person just really liked Dear Devere and wanted to download it over and over--Who knows. (This isn't too relevant to the translation as the translation was released on the 15th of August.)

In total, Dear Devere has been downloaded 3,157 times collectively (1,182 in Itchio, 1,975 on Steam).

Also, people have been posting really nice comments on Steam regarding the translation. Thank you to everyone who has done that.


And thank you to everyone who has played Dear Devere.
