Proof Reading the conversations...
« on: August 09, 2003, 11:32:15 pm »
Hi.  Would it be beneficial to have someone on board just to review the planned dialogues of npcs or anywhere text would appear ingame?  Someone who could proofread and make sure the english comes out correctly?

I have seen a few typos on the site and I know a lot of games let these kind of things slip in unknowingly so I was wondering if you need/want some help with it?

Am I forced to respond to my own post? hehe...alright you (didn\'t) ask for it!

The quests are fun to try but are baffling because of the language problems.  I\'ve already noticed inconsistencies between what is said by an NPC and what is intended (i.e. using \'\'your\'\' when \"you\'re\" is the correct choice.)

I have also noticed at least one NPC whose name changes from target window to chat window!  When the NPC speaks to you the name is misspelled according to what appears in the target window.

Thanks!  I wonder if anyone will respond to this one...eh...here goes nothing...

*/me posts in this thread just so that you know someone is reading*

Actually yeah, I think it\'s a good idea, although not top priority since everything we have now will probably not be in the next release anyway...
But I sure hope there won\'t be mistakes like that when the game gets really playable.
sig removed, it was kinda big ^^

You should ask Talad or Venge in person. Join their mIRC channel and wait for one to appear, I\'m sure they\'ll give you a straight answer either way.

I actually proofread the History that\'s on the website, although the edited version hasn\'t yet been put up (it\'s been about a month now, hehe). I doubt it ever will, it\'s quite low priority compared to all the other things Talad is busy with all the time.

On this subject, can somebody please post the details of the IRC room? They changed it... I can\'t find the information anymore so I havn\'t been able to visit the devs.

*/me does a little dance now that someone responded*

hehe...thanks for the help...

I know it probably isn\'t that high of a priority but \'perfection is in the details\'.  

I\'ll wait until someone posts the mIrc channel details (and maybe some clue about what that is?) to contact them.  

I\'d be happy to take a text file...edit it...and send it back as text or whatever...I\'m just trying to help where I can.

p.s. I was going to add a reply to this every day until I ran out of room talking to myself or someone responded.  Thanks for responding!!
