Play-testing: playing adventures since 1991Translating: esp. english to german

« on: 17 Mar 2005, 17:35 »

The german AGSers from adventure-treff.de have recently started a RON like project called Maniac Mansion Mania.

The first episode by LucasFan is available here: Maniac Mansion Mania Home (german only)

A few hours ago I did a quick and dirty translation of my contribution which can now be downloaded here (1.4 MB) for you all to enjoy/run away from.
It's quite short and took me 3 days to complete.

Two screenies:

Bernard wearing fresh undies


Yet another on-time delivery

GUI, GUI scripts & 90% of the Graphics by Lucasfan!
Music by LEC
Rest (c) me Smiley

Have fun!

PS: This is my first adventure ever released, so be gentle Larry Values!!11
PPS: Guess I needed ready-made backgrounds & characters after all in order to publish something...

But now I know must go... Back... to the mansion!

Play-testing: I'm willing to beta-test your games.Backgrounds: If you don't mind cartoony backgrounds then you can rely on me!Character art: Yes, I can help with drawing characters but I can only do cartoony/comic style. I'm not so good at realistic stuff.Story design: If you need help with a story or develop a story, then I'm the man for you.Translating: I can translate from English to Swedish and vice versa.

Isn't there an english version of the first episode? If not, then please translate. Not every one understands germany, you know.

The first episode as well as the site is the work of LucasFan, so unfortunately I can't translate either one of them.
Why don't you send him a PM and ask him to do it?

My next 'game' is going to be longer, I promise.

When the beta-testing is done, I'll release a final version. Maybe I'll add another one or two puzzles to it, but that might take it back to beta-stage Smiley

Here, I figured since it was a translation that the german text appearing on the backgrounds seemed a bit out of place, so I fixed it.  Might be something you can change when you add puzzles or whatever:

Well, I thought about doing that, but I was too lazy  Larry Values!!11

But I'll include it when I release the final version.
LucasFan did a very thorough job, e.g. the GUI could be translated easily & elegantly using the english translation file.
I'm going to use a similar method to translate static portions of the backgrounds.

However, the final version won't be released until about two weeks from now as I'm quite busy at the moment.

I must really be a loser, because I can't get the sock at all, much less a bag.
