My Chinese is not that good, and there are... jokes or idioms(?) in there that I'm not familiar with - don't want to misrepresent, so I'll refrain from a word-for-word translation, but I think I should be able to provide a general gist of what he's saying.
- He wanted to expand the development team and recruit more people.
- But wasn't able to or struggled at achieving that (I think.)
- He just wanted to record an honest trailer for purpose of recruitment and didn't expect to be praised as an industry savior
- 13 minutes of B1 ( I dunno what B1 means - B-roll? )
- There are a lot of patchwork and rough aspects on what was shared of the trailer
- He then talks about areas of the game that in his view, were still in poor shape
- something in regards to the animation of small bodies?
- something in regards to how they made the sculpt/mold of the golden cicada?
- how the body of water in the trailer completely lacked any fluid physics/any feedback
- the poor sound depth/implementation
- how the framerate during the 1,000 enemy musou sequence tanked so bad it gave them PTSD (not sure if the PTSD referred to the devs or not)
- hmm, something about how the fur implementation was still poor compared to hairless skin (I think?)
- He knows many people are currently in a depressed state and he's happy to provide some comfort
- The team is happy that the response to the reveal has been explosive, but they aren't letting it get to their heads.
- Please forget what we have shown as of this time ( p.s. context - it's more of a statement of modesty and how they don't feel like it's necessarily representative of their best work, they also want to do better )
- We will hide again after this to slowly continue, continue, continue working on the game.
I'd appreciate if someone could provide a better translation, but it should be... 70% there. :P
A more accurate summation by Arthands
Basic gist is he's saying they are just trying to recruit people with this honest little video, and they ended up getting viewed as some industry superstar. There are signs of it in the video that shows the game is some sort of a kit bash work and you can find flaws if you look. He is happy that the video is helping people to find comfort in this period of time, and the team is happy with the reception, but they are going into the background for a while to continue working hard so people can forget them for a while (essentially saying they won't provide any update in the foreseeable future)
There are mild sexual innuendo so word for word translation is a bad idea
