Re: VERSION 3.0?

Not yet. The AGD's are still waiting for a few things to get added to AGS and they also informed me that they're pretty busy in real life for a little while. (it may not seem like it, but the AGD's seem to have a life just like everyone else)<br><br>Since I'm likely to test the game once more time b...

Re: Manual

I'm afraid that's not gonna happen. The launcher isn't part of AGS and thus, it's not gonna change by a simple additional tra-file. This means Tierra would have to create a new launcher for every language and I don't think that's gonna happen.<br><br>Oh, by the way. This is for everyone who is worki...

Re: Also...

That's because of a limitation of AGS. If Graham's posture is not his normal walking one (ie: lying flat on the ground after falling, swimming), the spell's aura will seem kind of odd because it doesn't adept at Graham's posture.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/...

Alright. It seems the translations are getting along. Some of them are getting near completion, others are still in progress.

That's good to hear, Fribbi. I'd appreciate it if you simply put all the translated text in a document and attach that to a mail.
