I have had money saved up to rent a 3d server. I hope Stefan allows developers the ability to work on a server before Graal3d Dungeon comes out.

I'm definitely reminded of ocarina of time but with better graphics and more mobility. I'm so ready for making a modern server or a space server.

That looks like fun though. I'd be happy playing in that dungeon in a friendly team environment

.

Graal3D scripting is just GScript2 with extra 3D functions (i.e. move3d()) and classes.

A game companies ability to write English correctly isn't necessarily at the top of my list for 'must haves' when looking to buy a game. Sure, you don't want too many issues, and Graal for the most part in-game (including the 'official' servers) has understandable/okay English!

If I want to buy a house or something as important from unixmad I'd want perfect English, but I'm not so bothered for a 2D game!

But it does say something to some people.
You're turning some of your customers off, as opposed to correct English, which wouldn't.

Good thing I'm not interested in starting my own business then, huh?

I don't mind working for someone.

You guys are acting like the English is horrible or something, when it is not.

No, but it's bad enough to be absolutely hilarious.

Hmm, I thought it was a very nice thought (the e-card). I actually didn't see anything hilarious about it, but that's just me....

I have seen much worse English. Never bothered me because I was able to understand that the owner of the game/product was not from the US, and didn't have perfect English. Didn't put me off at all. I can see past it, and concentrate on the product.

Devil · #55 12-28-2006, 03:25 AM

It is practically simple English.

I just find it very unprofessional, and if I was new to the game, or a prospective first time upgrader, I would be totally put off.

He could have atleast put it past someone who knew English better than he did.

Why don't you try focusing on the whole picture instead of minor things.

Devil · #57 12-28-2006, 03:29 AM

I am focusing on an important thing.

How could a business succeed in a mostly English talking customer base, when the owners can't take 2 minutes out of their time for someone to proof-read their e-cards?

Eh, I wasted enough time on this. I thought overall, everything was very nice.

Devil · #59 12-28-2006, 03:53 AM

Exactly what I thought you'd do. It just proves my point more. Thankyou.

Por que tu queres su trabajo.
But si everysomeone speaked badly. The bad would look game.

If you own a game, with most of it's customers being english speakers, and you release something to them, it should be in proper english/french/german, w/e.
It's professionalism.
Not difficult.
If a few people will be turned off, it's not worth it.
How hard is it to have someone who speaks english natively to do it?
I understand English isn't easy: so have someone who knows it well do it.
Once more: a little effort goes a long way.
