Один Большой Портал решил взять у нас нашу искалку - и давай ее тестировать. Нашел две ошибки. Одна - bad grammar. У меня прямо на экране хелпа, вызываемого по F1, написано Imoptnat. Это не очень интересно. Зато вторая - такая:

This looks like a kids game but has alcohol within the game. The following comes up during a card matching game that takes place at the end of Chapter 2.



(кто в мове не смыслит - тут в том смысле высказано, что у вас игра детская, а в ней алкоголь, низззя).

Помнится, какие-то криптополяки из американского Диснея требовали от нас заменить выражение "супер-дупер" на "супер-пупер" - по той же причине, поскольку дети играют. На мышей блондинки из детского отдела и вовсе налетали регулярно, утверждая, что они у нас там сквернословят. И тут тоже - нате, мыши у вас алкоголь детям показывают, замените на йогурт (то, что мышь эта по определению алкоголик - на рожу посмотрите, - мы объяснять не стали). Интересно, что прочие Большие Порталы скажут. Если тоже прицепятся к нашему алконавту - значит, точно, это мы какие-то совратители, а все блондинки из детского отдела - святые женщины.

Короче говоря, все у нас хорошо, кроме морального облика. Может, нам наконец на порнушку перейти? По части сюжетов для игры типа Hidden Object там такой простор открыватся!

I take it that's from a review?

Yes, it would be picked up by some. Still, there's drunks in a Disney children's movie, and called as such. See (at about 1:20 minutes in) here...

No calling them drunks in a British version of the book though, but it's a much better adaption I reckon...

so worth watching all the way through if you've not seen it!

it is from BF's inner testing report. we'll actually have to replace the bottle, alas. ain't them blooming hypocrites???

I'm sending you a link: we have a version ready to play (at last).

[birguslatro]

BF? Your publishers or similar?

It may actually be good advice. It could result in the game not being reviewed at some places, or when reviewed, be a distraction from the substance of the game.

we signed up with them (as well as a few others). but the game being for kids will severe our revenues dramatically ;( it seems we'll have to shift to Gloomy-Pseudo-3D-and-Dark-Mystery stuff if want to make money in this field. can't say I like gloomy pseudo 3D or any of their most popular dark mysteries ;)

[birguslatro]

I've heard that picture books for the very young are also not a good way to make money. I guess they grow out of them very quick.

Instead of a Gloomy-Pseudo-3D-and-Dark-Mystery game, how about a parody of a Gloomy-Pseudo-3D-and-Dark-Mystery game? In other words, make a funny one.

[lazy_natalia]

that is a good idea! it is probably a good wat to put up eith it. if only we didn't prefer our small kiddy games - it is way plesanter for me to make them, far more than to make any dark mysteries, even a parody ones ;(

Hee - I was able to find this thread again! Thought of it due to this good read about 'The Wind in the Willows'...

hmmmm
shame on me, I never as much as opened the book! I even had a vague notion that the book is a sugarly stuff about well-behaved ever-cushion-embroidering Victorian girls.
