Once a man, strong and Cyclopean,
awaiting his quest so calm and brave
kept always his one eye wide open
'til he sunk into the grave

...makes not much sense, but you probably know what I mean :-)

I'm open for Lojban.

English language will be included on every cd right? I don't want to be forced to play the game in German (nothing against German, just that I prefer to play games in English) just because I bought it here in Switzerland.

Might have a choice of languege or something, if not you can always download an american version of the game/buy one off ebay/buy it illegally.

As far as I know all of the translated languages will be available on the CD no matter what country you buy it in.

In a worst case scenario we will make sure you can download all the english voices and text Smile

Do I still have a chance to do the German translation?

(Yeah, I know that I'm annoying)

What we are going to do is to start gathering translations after release. The publisher is handling all of boxed translations but I am not sure how many of these that will go in the downloadable version.

Another good news that I probably have forgotten to say is that the game now as full Unicode support! The only exception are languages with a lot of signs in the alphabet (like Japanese), need to rewrite the font drawer for this.

If I understand right: German is probably in the box -> will be done by the publisher -> no chance...

Unicode support sounds good. And Japanese would be really cool!　がんばって、ね。

Well you are still free to translate the game when it is out Smile The downloadable version might not have a German translation and we will be very happy to get usermade translation.
