- Hello, residents of Hot Spring Town! This is a tea party post with developers. - 15 March 2025
1. About the author : The author is Chinese, and I am the only person in charge of the team at present. The Hot Spring Town project has been produced for nearly a month, and it is my second work. The author previously worked in the music industry, so in-game music is also my work (such as what you hear in promotional videos). I don't really enjoy being interfered with by others when creating, so I will maintain independent production in the future. 2. Regarding the work : The author is deeply influenced by excellent works such as "Crayon Shin chan" and "After School Boys", and hopes to create memories that bring the same warmth to everyone. 3. About Q&A : The most important thing is about game language localization (Chinese players can ignore this article): because the developers are Chinese and do not know much about the language habits of various countries, there will inevitably be so…
