What led to the team's decision to patch 20th? As I recall, Puyo Nexus made a similar attempt but had to cancel it after losing all their progress due to a server crash. We decided to patch 20th because coders joined us! Our former members Mari & Luk originally contacted…
I was wondering, why did you decide to go all out with Ringo peppering her speech with math terminology when other translations, official or otherwise downplay it or neglect it altogether? For fun.

What's the team's stance on Puyo Pop Fever's localization job? Is it a trainwreck? Is a literal translation? Does it take liberties? Are those liberties any good? What about Amitie's catchphrases? Do they have any root in the original Japanese? I'd like to know because I really find it fascinating.
As you discussed in a prior question, you guys had a bit of trouble with translating Rulue, Raffina and Witch due to their speech patterns not being easily translated. Did Lidelle prove to be a challenge regarding how she speaks to Satan? As far as I'm aware(which doesn't say much),…
