Proof-reader needed

Mnemonic · 08-08-2004, 07:46 AM

Hi everyone. Some time ago Nihilis Games released their dark adventure The Dead City. The game has been released in czech only, but since it was quite successful we decided to release an english version as well. I translated all the ingame texts, but since my english is far from perfect I'm looking for someone to proof-read the texts. Fortunately the game is not too long, but the proof-reader will probably need to completely rewrite some of the sentences :)

So, if you are good in english grammar and spelling and you are willing to help, please send me an email or a PM or post here in this thread. Thanks.

Please note that the game deals with some mature content and uses a lot of strong language. You have been warned :)

If you want, I'm happy to take a look at it. Depending on the thing's length, of course.

Ahem, ahem

Anyway, I believe my biggest problem is not the spelling, but mostly the grammar (especially tenses and choosing the right prepositions

).

By the way, I think we have enough proof-readers by now. Many thanks to everyone for their help.

damn it, i new my name would come up at some time in this post. I'm getting a lot better with the spelling and grammar has never really been a problem for me.

Give the guy a break.

He is getting a lot better!

Also, Mnemonic, I assume you wrote the script for this game. I just have to say, I'm half-way through proof-reading it and I love it. I haven't played the game yet, but piecing together the various dialogues I think I've gotten a lot of the story and just have to say it's great!

Back to proof-reading.

No no, I'm just a humble translator. The story is a product of a twisted mind

of a guy called NaRCo. But I agree it's great, that's why I offered to translate the game
