Morimens English Localization Notes #1

Greetings, Keepers!

This is Ace, and I am currently working on Morimens' English localization.

First and foremost—thank you. Seriously. With a tiny but passionate team of devs, our localization journey hasn't been perfectly smooth, but your patience and encouragement have meant everything to us. We're so grateful you've stuck with us while we untangle typos, tweak tone, correct rich text tags, redesign interfaces, and try to make things feel right.

Moving forward, we'll be sharing these Localization Progress updates regularly. No fluff, just honest talk about where we are, what we're improving, and how we're working to continuously make things better.

Over the past 2 months, we've:

– Fixed over 26,000 lines of in-game text:

Our focus was on unifying combat-related terminology in character PVP/PVE skill descriptions and correcting technical issues like incorrect rich text tags, which caused color formatting errors or prevented number values from displaying properly. Normally, a task of this scale would take at least 5 localizers and LQA testers to complete in this timeframe. To speed things up, I taught myself Python (with our amazing QA team's help!) and wrote scripts to identify problematic tags. Thanks to these tools, we caught around 700 tag issues this round.

Some issues are still out there on the run. Some new issues arised from the introduction of new tools. We plan to keep improving the scripts, catch every punctuation/spelling issues, and dedicate more time to playtesting.

Currently, some terms remain inconsistent across areas such as Relic descriptions, Resonance descriptions, WoD descriptions, and Enlighten descriptions. We sincerely apologize for not being able to fix all of them in one go.

Thank you for your patience as we continue working on unifying these terms and resolving the remaining tag issues in upcoming updates. Issues like number values being incorrectly displayed as 'Arg1' will be addressed first.

Combat-Related Text Progress:

This month, we reviewed:

● 1,208 Skill Name terms (for both Awakeners and enemies)

● 62 Orison and State terms

● 156 Relic Name terms (about halfway; around 100 more to go!)

Based on your feedback from the last version, we learned that many of you prefer concise, clear translations. With that in mind, we left terms untouched unless they were mistranslated, overly long, or clearly awkward. We also checked with our amazing narrative designers to ensure that lore-specific terms were translated according to their original intent.

We've also carefully reviewed every player suggestion regarding term translations in the feedback channel. Your valuable input helps us continuously adjust our localization approach to better match your preferences!

Here are some examples for this time's term changes. We will release a full list of terms like last time as google sheet soon, starting with the Attributes. Some term might have been changed in skill descriptions but remain unchanged elsewhere—we will fix them in future updates.

Fixed over 100 UI issues:

These issues caused text in different languages to be cut off or improperly aligned. Fixing them often meant remaking interface layouts, rewriting text entries, and occasionally building things from scratch. I can't overstate how grateful I am to our diligent, talented UX designers! Despite tight schedules and many tasks already on their plates, they supported me every step of the way.There's still more work to be done. We'll continue tackling UI issues to ensure the multilingual experience is smooth and pleasant. Thank you, Keepers, for your patience and for reporting the problems you find!

Newly Proofread Content in the 1.5 Anniversary Update:

We've implemented human-proofread English text for:

● Liz's Psyche Deepdive story: Passion to Dust

● Lore Descriptions for the 4 new Basic Skins

● The 1.5 Anni Wheel of Destiny: Annihilated Rebirth

When our next Awakener, Castor (Ultra), is released, all of his Skill, Enlightenment, and Talent descriptions will also be human-translated.

As for the 1.5 Anniversary Event Story, Glimpse Beyond Sanctum—we originally planned to proofread it too. Unfortunately, due to our limited staff, the event script was finalized only one day before the version update, leaving no time for a human to translate it.We're aiming to release a quick-fix patch during one of the upcoming maintenance updates (schedule permitting) to correct several key errors—such as a mistranslated village name (it should be Celephais, in reference to Lovecraftian lore) and a few other inaccuracies.

During the initial release, another issue caused some English banner and event description texts to display incorrectly. This issue has been fixed through a hotfix update.

Previously, when we used GPT translation for all content, any changes to the Chinese text would automatically trigger an update to the translated text. However, now that we have introduced human translation, the translated text can fall out of sync if the Chinese source is updated after the translation is considered final.

We've reviewed this problem and established a new workflow to prevent it from happening again. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

Story Translation Plans:

This month, we received many kind words and thoughtful suggestions about narrative localization. Storytelling is a core part of Morimens' identity, and we want to treat its translation with utmost care.

Due to time constraints, some story content remains machine-translated for now. However, we're actively improving consistency by refining the terminology database these translations draw from. During our human proofreading passes, we're currently prioritizing critical fixes like:

● Correcting major mistranslations (e.g., 'Lemuria' appearing as 'Negen Entropy')

● Resolving grammar issues, typos, and misinterpreted lines

While this means some nuanced polishing may take longer, please know we're committed to systematically revisiting and enhancing all story texts over time.

When the Prologue chapter is dubbed, we'll also revise and enhance its English translation so you can re-experience it in a better form.

As our team grows, we're confident we'll one day be able to release fully human-translated versions of all new story content on day one. We also hope to collaborate with player volunteers to proofread more languages and continue raising the overall quality.

Volunteer Translators:

Now that our tools are more stable, we will be able to start welcoming player volunteers into the translation process.

To those who've already volunteered: thank you so, so much. We'll be reaching out to discuss the next steps. This process may take some time, as we are still finalizing our plans to ensure every contribution is properly implemented and recognized.

For further inquiries about localization, please reach out to Goya or post in the localization feedback channel.

Sincerely,

Ace

We have preliminarily identified unavoidable technical issues affecting the cloud service network environment earlier today. This issue prevents you from logging into the game.

We have implemented interim measures and expect most services to be restored shortly. However, depending on individual network conditions, full recovery may take some time—ranging from hours to, in extreme cases, several days.

If you are still experiencing issues, please try:

We sincerely apologize for the disruption to your gaming experience. As compensation, we will distribute 【1,000 Silver】to all players shortly.

Thank you all for your feedback on Castor's play experience, we will make some enhancements to Castor as soon as possible to make his Black Feather gameplay more interesting. Here’s what the internal changes we’re currently working on, subject to the official announcement at the end of the day.

The total amount of all erosion applied is doubled, but the amount of erosion provides a halving of the own damage bonus ratio. In this way Castor's own damage is ultimately unchanged, but erosion becomes more meaningful. Generally speaking, in the later stages of the game, it is better to deal a certain amount of damage scattered in each turn than to explode super-high damage in a single turn. Castor's erosion should be able to change this, making normal attacks an effective choice.

"Exceeding the limit burst allows Black Feather to obtain additional shields at the end of the round if he does not hit him during this round, making Black Feather an effective choice if he does not hit him".

The first Black Feather of each turn will provide Castor with 10 rages as a way to encourage him to develop a strategy of playing one per turn.

Ultimately we hope that all three of Castor's Black Feather strategies will become feasible: hitting all of them in a single turn to become a direct damage contributor in a special time slot, hitting one in each turn to become a stable damage gainer, and trying not to become a defensive contributor that makes the most of Black Feather.

It has long been known that the B.I.A.V. Studio is a creative group operating under extremely tight budgets, once teetering on the brink of closure due to operational and promotional difficulties.

To sustain the delivery of new content for Morimens and continue the Keeper's story, we've implemented various emergency strategies through our struggles. While some measures proved effective, others were later revealed as misjudgments. I deeply regret the negative experiences and impacts these decisions may have caused our players.

However, since our first anniversary, we've received increasing support from global players. With assistance from new partners and the persistent efforts of both veteran and new team members, I believe the situation is gradually improving.

On our 1.5th anniversary, I'm pleased to announce a small update: We will add full voice acting to the prologue chapter, along with implementing a method to replay the prologue story in-game.

As this work needs to be prioritized after other development updates, completion may require several additional months. Your patience during this process is greatly appreciated.

Guides

The following are links to guides accessible outside of Discord.

Note: The Morimens discord community has very strong and conflicting views about which characters are meta. For example, Flares, a prolific English guidemaker, is incapable of talking for 15 minutes without calling Ultra and especially Clem "trash". However, many veteran players consider both Ultra as a realm and Clem to be very strong, albeit with a learning curve, and there are tier lists that place Clem near the top. Many "bad" characters also become decent to very good when they have many duplicates, which is very doable for standard characters even if you are free to play. The very fact that people disagree about which characters are good or bad highlights the fact that Morimens gameplay is quite flexible and relies on player skill in teambuilding and cardplay more than an individual character's strength. This is combined with relatively frequent buffs of underperforming characters, particularly right now (spring 2025). Take all tier lists with a grain of salt and be wary of absolute statements.

Gameplay in Morimens, however, can be hard. Even normal difficulty story chapters will have progression walls- however, these are not simple stat check 'did you pull the latest shiny dps' walls. Overcoming walls will involve a combination of investing in your team, and having a good understanding of both your own characters' abilities and the enemy mechanics. There are a number of off-meta teams that are perfectly capable of clearing even hard mode content, provided they are well built- these teams will just take longer, and require more investment, more understanding of the game and more effort on the part of the player. Whether this extra effort and time is worth it is something only you, the reader, can answer for yourself.
