Re: WitchBlaster

@Chroelle. Heh, my birthday is Jan 14th.. and next birthday I'll be.. 28. Ouch, where's my life going... @Pater ah, sorry if I sounded offended - I certainly wasn't. Thanks for the feedback, I didn't really design the game with children in mind but now I can definitely see how they might like it. Al...

Re: WitchBlaster

Yikes, being wished happy birthday on the Internet sounds pretty embarrasing :P

The game is certainly cute enough for kids - but it'll definitely give most adults a challenge.

WitchBlaster

First up, apologies for shamelessly promoting my own work in this forum, but I'll make up for it by contributing more to the other posts. Promise :D http://earok.net/sites/default/files/wb1.jpg WitchBlaster is a game I originally wrote for the 2010 Global Game Jam, which went on to win editor's choi...

Re: Blow Stuff Up

I think they meant cheating in the sense I may be getting inside help from CWF to get the game a place on the site ;). IMO it's not cheating, if you make me improve the game before letting it on the site, that can only be a good thing. On that topic, I am working on tweaking and polishing Project Fi...

Re: Blow Stuff Up

Hey, thanks for considering the game for the site :D It's still kind of back in beta, which is why your translations haven't been added in just yet, but I should get around to it in the next couple of weeks. Any other suggestions (Especially those that make it more likely the game gets a place on th...

Re: Earok 2011 Collection (Help wanted with localization)

Uh, sorry, yes that is intended to be broken English, and if possible that 'spirit' should be kept in the translation. I don't expect you to go this far, but Gui who did the Portuguese translation went so far as to study how Russians speak Portuguese. And yes, building car crush means that a buildin...

Re: Rudy "Caiman" Versele is dead

I know this is long overdue, but didn't know he had passed away until recently. I only communicated with him a few times, but I'll always remember the kind words he had for my games. Rest in peace.

Re: Earok 2011 Collection (Help wanted with localization)

Damn you Æ Ø Å - you always get in the Danish peoples way... That shouldn't be a problem. I use bitmap fonts in my games and these are the characters I can support, which include all three of the ones you listed. In any case, if a couple of extra ones are required, we can replace unused characters ...

Re: Earok 2011 Collection (Help wanted with localization)

Absolutely, would love to have a Danish translation in the games :) You should be able to produce a Danish port of Blow Stuff Up from the instructions above, I'll get back in touch when I have more games to be done (Kiwi's Tale is next)

Re: Earok 2011 Collection (Help wanted with localization)

Hi Pater, There isn't much text. Maybe a page or two per game. Although Derelict has a lot of text I was only planning to localize the menus to start with. Blow Stuff Up is the first game that is ready to be translated. Inside the zip folder is a folder called language, and there are two plain text ...

Earok 2011 Collection (Help wanted with localization)

InMrLg6yTtY Hi all, I have been working on enhanced re-releases of all of my games (Including Derelict and The Kiwi's Tale, featured on this site). One of the main features I want to add for all of the games is localisation for various languages. I am most interested in Polish, Spanish, German and ...

I only started playing the game recently, and I'm about half way through. I didn't think much of it at the time it came out (though I didn't give it a fair chance), but now I -do- think it is a significant milestone for First Person Shooters. Especially considering it came out not long after Quake I...

I used to be quite sensitive about opinions of my games (especially Firestart at the time of release, I sunk three months of hard work into that!) but it was silly really. 95% of the complaints of my games are rational ones that I usually agree with, and I learn from to improve my future titles.
