Hey all! This is kind of a bug report I guess, but “bug” sounds more like something that’s wrong with the game itself somehow, but it’s debatable I guess. Anyway, I found a few language errors in the game, and I thought this could be a thread where not just I but other players as well share any that…

That would probably be the easiest fix for the first one, and then for consistency it should probably be done for the others as well, even if it’s all spoken. Also, the ideal would be if Basket could be pluralized if there are more than one.

[image] Phagocytosis: Also, the ideal would be if Basket could be pluralized if there are more than one. true, but I can see the how this is being generated… the berries are an object, with an object-name of “Basket of Berries”, which is used for all situations when the berries are being refe…

True enough, I thought the same thing. I guess the only true solution is giving items both a singular and a plural name (or maybe only items where there is a plural other than just adding an “s” at the end, and then having it append the “s” if there is no explicit plural name given). Could still be …

And that’s only english ‘language errors’… I wonder how much there will be for example in polish xD Hmmm… how about a special character which could activate plural end when it would be necessary? Well… it could also help in other languages. Example 1:[quote]Language: english character used as 'pl…

Totally agree with @phoriist . The game is going to be translated to many languages, and each of them has different ways to build the plural forms. (As far as I know, German has like 6 different ways of plurals, or more). There should be a way to let other languages write their plurals. Personally…

Well, I’ve been doing just this sort of thing for the little script I wrote to generate random cave names for Minecraft (to put on signs near the entrances and inside it for given chambers or corridors; you get names like The Coves of the Lightning The Ailuirine Rock Shelter Where You Knit The Dung…

Honestly, we should use your name generator. A few of these are awesome. [image] Phagocytosis: The Rad Pits Where the Ports Cure I’m all for Port Curing Rad Pits. [image] Phagocytosis: The Old Excavations Where Weird Outriggers Are Hovering Lost it at this one.

Hehe, thanks! Well, I could put it online somewhere, I suppose. If you’re really interested, let me know. EDIT: Okay, I put it online . It’s a rar of the entire folder as I copied it from my Eclipse workspace, and it uses Java. I use Windows as an OS, not sure if that matters. Please keep in mind th…

[image] SteveAdamo: I think perhaps the dialogues should be formatted as such, with the “spoken” portion in quotes? Another instance where this might be good is in the scenario messages when a traveler wants to join your town (and perhaps similar messages). 15:30 in the video. [Stone…

Perhaps not the most pressing one, as it’s temporary text anyway, but interesting was misspelled as *interseting, in the map selection screen when starting a new game. 0:16 in the video.
