Hi Czas Na Retro,
Thank you! And thanks so much for making a gameplay video, I really appreciate you sharing the game with your audience. I hope you also enjoyed the Polish translation!
Czas Na Retro is a fantastic name, by the way!
Hi again Richard,
Since I had some free time over Christmas, I went ahead and finished the Esperanto translation! :-)
It turned out to be more technically demanding than I expected — but I managed to implement full pseudo-variable-width typography (custom kerning for narrow letters, pre-rendered combinations, etc.). In fact, very few of the other translations achieve this level of polish.
Hope you enjoy it!
Regards.
Hello Richard,
Thank you so much for your kind words — and for this excellent point! You're absolutely right: Latin is not just another language, but the root of many others!
In fact, Latin and Esperanto were both on my original roadmap — along with Ancient Greek, Persian, Slovak, Kannada, and more. I even started early work on Japanese (Katakana) and a few other scripts. But with limited time and the sheer scale of 62 languages already implemented, I had to pause for now.
That said — your comment has moved Latin to the top of my priority list, and I'll begin work on it soon :-)
By the way, there are 5 billion Klingons, 6 billion Vulcans, and maybe 18 billion Romulans, and they had no Spectrum games on their planets!
:-D
Thanks again for caring enough to ask!
Thank you! Most credits should go to the original programmer, Martin Hora; I tried my best to enhance and perfect it :-)
As I had to play it thoroughly many times, myself, I can tell you I loved this game, It's really good!
300% acceleration for such games, is a great idea! The next one I'm translating is also a text-only adventure and is displaying the text letter by letter (at least in a nice and fluid way).
Soon... ;-)
