The last week was a bit crazy. But now I have the rest of the year free to work 100% on TRAUMA. Except for that Christmas things everybody seems to make such a fuzz about.
I’m powering trough. Today, I was finally able to check the subtitles I have gathered. They look great and I have implemented them all. The game now has subtitles in 3 languages: English, German and Polish. I wrote the English and German ones and my Girlfriend checked them for spelling. My mum helped me out with the Polish ones (yes, I’m THAT Indie) as my Polish is a bit rusty. I added some corrections where I things got lost in translation. Reading the script in Polish kinda hit me emotionally. Maybe it’s because I’m so used to reading it in German and English. On the other hand, I have this theory that your first language has deeper emotional attachment. For example, I like to think that it’s easier to lie in a foreign language.
But that’s not all. I also implemented a cute error message box:
If things go well you will never ever see this
The error box is the other end of my new loader handling system. It’s good to tie the first loose ends together. I can’t wait to make it report all the other wonderful errors. But more on that tomorrow.
Technically what I’m doing right now is not a ‘Crunch’ but you can expect daily updates on the state of the game from now until beta.
