Hello everyone, and happy new year.
I'm Targhan from the CPC french group Arkos. I've been working for three years, along with SuperSylvestre and Grim on the graphics side, on a huge adventure game, and it is now reaching completion. The principle is very simple : you move your cursor on your screen, select an object, and select one of the possible actions you can do to it (open, use, take, ...). So it uses a simple yet effective interface.
The game itself takes place in the future, in a derelict scientific spaceship, that you were forced to board after your shuttle wrecked... Something went wrong here, and the only way to survive is to repair your ship, and get the hell out of here. The game is really, really huge, it uses the full 800kb of a 3"5, or two 3" disks, with more than 40 screens in a kind of 'cinemascope' format (horizontal screen resizing).
I will make a more official annoucement when the beta test begins (around March), but we want to have a release in four languages. Right now only the french texts are written. I've found someone to translate the game in Spanish. English and German translators are still needed. Hence this thread.
I must warn you : there are a lot of texts. Just for the game, about 200kb (ascii). So accepting the job is not a decision to be taken lightly. Since we seek the quality of a commercial game, no grammatical error are tolerated, and though the game ambiance is dark and horrific, the texts are funny, full of dark humour. So I need someone who has an excellent knowledge of german, but who can also understand french or english very well, depending from which language you can translate.
Don't hesitate to contact me for more information. Contact me by email, it will be easier. My address : targhan -at- cpcscene -dot- com
Thanks for reading !
