changedOne-Year AnniversaryIf you are someone who bought the game: thank you very much, and I hope you enjoyed it. If you are reading this and have not yet purchased the game - well then, what are you waiting for? Go, go, go!
changedEnglish TranslationThe biggest negative point in English-language reviews has always been the quality of the English text - and rightly so. My plan was always to use the money earned from the game to hire professional help to improve the translation quality. Unfortunately, the game sold fewer than 30 copies in one year, which of course does not justify any additional expenses. In fact, the revenue didn’t even cover the costs for a single voice actor.
changedEnglish TranslationNevertheless, the English translation could not remain in its original state. I therefore brought in voluntary external help and also reworked the English version myself. In the end, the original translation turned out to be so poor that more than 90% had to be completely redone. So “revision” is hardly the right word anymore - “recreation” fits much better. This took me several additional weeks, but in my humble opinion, the effort was absolutely worth it. I now feel much more confident about the quality of the English version.

One-Year Anniversary
On January 15, 2025, after nine years of development, I finally released my 3D cartoon point-and-click adventure “ Wormventures - Barrier 51 ”. One year has now passed, and to celebrate the anniversary, the game has received a somewhat larger update, which includes, among other things, a complete overhaul of the English translation.
Looking back at the past year, I can summarize it like this: hardly anyone played the game, and even fewer people bought it. However, those who did play it seemed to have a great deal of fun with it - and that makes me very happy.
If you are someone who bought the game: thank you very much, and I hope you enjoyed it. If you are reading this and have not yet purchased the game - well then, what are you waiting for? Go, go, go!
