The Ilya Chudakov Q&A on Adventure Classic Gaming talks with one of the folks from Step Creative Group, learning that the Russian developer has once again shut its doors. In spite of this, they report Akella has expressed a commitment to completing the much-delayed English edition of Inhabited Island: The Earthling, Step's latest adventure game based on a science fiction novel by the Strugatsky brothers. The conversation focuses on the game itself, but they do also touch upon localization and support issues:

To tell you the truth I do not work in Akella, so I do not know if they take part in the game localization. But what I know for sure is that we have collected all the materials to be localized, and made a raw translation to English of all in-game texts, when I was working in Step Creative Group as a game designer.
