Producers Note #8, when?

[EagleEye]

Hi Matt, I know you must be very busy, though when we can expect a new note? :)

[airea]

When it is done:)

 

(Hehehe, I am the first to say this sentence:) )

[haigotron]

As we say in the IL-2 Forums: "In two weeks, be sure!"

[DaWu]

it became quite silent in the last weeks over here.

[Wags]

The next note will be about the data link, but before it can be created, the radio messages still need to localized to English. Localization is the priority task now and we hope to create the next note once the radio messages are localized. Other localization tasks include GUI texts, mission briefings, quick start guide, and training mission.

so PN#8 is dependent on some things that need to be done first... got ya!

:shocking: What a find! Yesterday I was on the 1C site and the release date was 2008. Now it`s 17. October...

Now we need a official statement...:music_whistling:

Today 1C news: http://translate.google.de/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.1c.ru%2F&sl=ru&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8

Localisation to english, for example.;) 1C is the distributor for the russian version.

LOL yeah I got that bit :D

 

It was more what is there to actually change? I am prosuming:

 

All gui text including mission editors etc

All mission/in game text

Cockpit tags (when you mouse over parts of the cockpit the dev diaries appear to be showing a pop up with the dial or readout your looking at)

Any voice over training/actor speech if there is such a thing in BS

 

The possible but unlikley:

 

Radio comms

Cockpit labels on buttons

 

I hope this has already been done:

 

The manual, otherwise we will be waiting AGES.

 

Actually on the subject of the manual if that date is geniune weren't we supposed to see the manual a few weeks before the game launched?

Maybe the english manual is not finished yet...;) Do you want a manual with cyrillic letters?:)

Cockpit-labels have already been translated as you can see in previously released producers notes.

 

 

I guess much more work than the translations of the text-messages is probably the translations of the radio-messages, though, and get them recorded in different languages (or at least in English, too).

But if we are at localizing, I doubt it will be long until we get some long awaited news.:thumbup:

 

On the other hand, I don't give a cent on that release-date, as long as it not officially announced here. According to 1C StormOfWar: Battle of Britain is due to release at the end of 2007 - It's rather end of 2009, though. :(

Yes, it`s not official announced here, though look at this 1C news from today(translated via google): http://translate.google.de/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.1c.ru%2F&sl=ru&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8

I see, I have watched most of the dev diaries via youtube and not payed 100% attention as I was at work at the time...shhh:music_whistling:

 

Are the translating the radio messages then? They didn't do it with LOMAC or FC so I assumed they weren't bothering for this. It sort of adds more realisim for it to be in Russian.

hardly official

[sobek]

I think we can regard this as hoax. If it were to be true, then the russian version would be gold by now and i honestly don't think Ed would have not announced that.

[Namenlos Ein]

They sent the game on the 'gold' yesterday.

Sorry, my russian kinda sucks. Methinks that would have been interesting for all the english speakers to know as well. Anybody care to translate that? :helpsmilie:

Great news, and congrats to the whole Eagle staff for achieving this, must be a very relieveing moment!

[DTWD]

Cool well done, but yeah I would have thought this would be something worth announcing to everyone. Unless they wanted it to pass by silently while they all go on holiday for a few months :D

[deviletk]

Sorry for being a bit thick here, but what does "go gold" mean? I take it's a good thing though. :)

[Squid_DK]

That is good news... Congrats ED! I hope you will get some good sales figures with Black Shark...
