[LeD]Jake Crusher Posted August 12, 2007 Hello. Dear doomers, I need your help. The name of this thread is such because of that: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Enter_the_Doom_Chapter_I:_Lucido_Attack And the problem is - I`ve translated this game into English, and I need someone, who will check the translation`s text for grammatical or spelling errors. Can anyone please help me? Of course, I will add the names of those doomers, who will help us, in the game! 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted August 12, 2007 Isn't it sufficient to say Enter Doom... instead of Enter the Doom...? Or keep it as it is, it's more funny this way. 0 Share this post Link to post

Snarboo Posted August 13, 2007 This is something best done as a team. The first person translates it from their native language, then you have a few editors to read over it and correct any mistakes, as having more than one person well versed in english always helps. I would help if I wasn't so busy. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post
Richo Rosai Posted August 13, 2007 The game starts as MAZter launching ZDaemon, to play Doom. After some time on server, he`s suddenly found that everything became into reality. But thinking of it as another bug of the game... Good stuff! 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted August 13, 2007 Yeah, ZDaemon is pretty famous for its life-shattering bugs. Once I installed it and my toilet blew up. 0 Share this post Link to post
[LeD]Jake Crusher Posted August 14, 2007 So, can anyone help me please? At least just checking the text? 0 Share this post Link to post

Once a giant cock came out of my computer and started chasing me around the house. Eventually bludgeoned the bastard with my computer chair. 0 Share this post Link to post

[LeD]Jake Crusher Posted August 15, 2007 Guys, maybe we should stop discussing that...strange ZDaemon stuff, and discuss instead - will someone help me to check that text or not? We want to release that game for you ASAP! :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Alboroto Posted August 15, 2007 That's it! ZDaemon is the responsable of the weird and unexplainable case of "My copy of Halo2 vista works on xp for some reason." http://www.doomworld.com/vb/everything-else/40918-my-copy-of-halo2-vista-works-on-xp-for-some-reason/ 0 Share this post Link to post

I've had to fix almost every word. I just can't do 50 more pages... it's just impossible. And the plot is terrible. 0 Share this post Link to post
[LeD]Jake Crusher Posted August 16, 2007 It is so horrible? Allright, then - don`t do it, and delete that text. Well, sorry for bothering... 0 Share this post Link to post
[LeD]Jake Crusher Posted August 20, 2007 Guys, sorry for not posting here for some time - but I`m asking you JUST to check the text. What`s the meaning to say that "plot is terrible"? Just check the text - and let the gamers decide, what kind of plot that is, OK? yomoneyboat, maybe you could help us at least by checking some pages in a day? 0 Share this post Link to post

Richo Rosai Posted August 21, 2007 I think if the plot were awesome, or if the English only required minor tweaking, somebody might be willing to work on the project for you. But neither of those being the case, you might have trouble finding anyone. 0 Share this post Link to post
BoldEnglishman Posted August 21, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XHU2DdhIvI 00:39 - 00:44 = Engrish! 0 Share this post Link to post
[LeD]Jake Crusher Posted August 22, 2007 OK, then - if no-one can help me, well, I think that I`ll try to make it out on my own. As for the plot...you see, I wasn`t in charge for it... anyway, I don`t think that the plot is too terrible...it`s not like Kill Bill, you know :) At least, I though that some of you could at least check 4-5 pages, and correct any mistakes. And the number of checking people could be not only one, but more...come on guys, you know English better than me! :) 0 Share this post Link to post

[LeD]Jake Crusher Posted April 30, 2008 OK, guys. It`s been a long time since I logged here last time. :) A plenty of things to say, BUT! ...Enter the Doom chapter 1 - Lucido Attack is released. As English version. :) If you want to play it - you can grab it here: http://www.etd-game.org/files/EtD1Setup.exe And if you want to say something about the game - you can do that here: http://etd-game.org/forum/ BTW - yes, you can throw rocks at me for wrong English (if I done any in the gane), BUT! since no-one helped me to make a normal English variant, I tried to do that on my own. Well, you decide, if my try was successful - or not. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
