Aaron's life

[fleet]

I recommend having a minimum of two other people (beside the writer) review text for errors.

Personally, I have found that the key to properly correcting a script is distance. If you can afford the manpower of a team of editors, great, but if the script will be handled only by the writer, one way to get almost all of the errors and typos out of the way is to revise it at a later stage in development; in my case, I first write the script (all of its iterations and versions), then do the first correction, send it to Leonizer to implement in the game and then, in beta-testing, keep an open copy of the script to correct as I go through the text. Just seeing it in the game as opposed to the Excel document can work wonders (likewise with getting the text on another program for the revision, don't underestimate the power of a change in perspective). Hope that helps any struggling copywriter.

PS: Also, everything is a writing exercise. If you want to get better, check every little thing you write; that includes grammar and orthography in a forum post.

You mean "orthography"?

[Agrippa]

"Ortography"? What is this "ortography" you speak of?

At least I did not type "grammer". Nice catch, karrek!

Ok, so, bit of an update. As Dakutis mentioned before, the story has changed a bit though we'll be reusing things that make sense in the new context. I just got done formatting a basic outline of the script in a word document, next I'll be making a flow chart of the game. Got a few ideas for mechanics which haven't been used in games like this before which I hope will be received well... Anyway, just giving you an update on this.

Take your time. The better is the preparation, the better will be the game !!!

[tlaero]

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Our genre could definitely use some new game mechanics.

Haven't got a chance to try the demo, but it's great to see a new team forming up

Keep it going, guys !

What's the status of this game?

What's the status of this game?

Now all stoped few weeks ago. Superawesomemans don't have time. Now I thinking that I maybe finish my version of the game with few corections.
For all this time I little bit worked with new my project, Tlaero helped me a lot with functions, now I have 1000 lines of code and sometimes I can't find there anything. Its need to clean a little bit.
I want to create something like LOP games Jordan500/Tori500 but in html format.

Dakutis?
What exactly is your problem?
Or do you now have more than one?

I think you have a problem with a translation? Yes?

You also have a problem with code? Is that true?
I think that you are saying that some things are not matching your variables?
Is that what you mean by "need to clean a little bit"?

Now the LOP game thought? Is there something happening with your work that is stopping you getting there? Or do you need to solve the above to make the game?

Forgive but I am trying understand your translation (and also haven't followed your thread well as you worked with tlaero).

Your answers may help her understand better when next we see her.

[Dakutis]

Squeeky.

I don't have any problems now. Now I know how to do what I want. Tlaero helped with all my problems with functions, so there is no problem, at least not yet.

[Squeeky]

Ok.
I did not clearly understand what you were reporting.

I'm pleased to know that all seems to be going well for you. May we see something good from your efforts not too far away.

[Dakutis]

Our project with Superawesomemans is canceled. So I decided to finish original Aaron Life game with original text only with "Greebo" corrections (I asked Greebo for help with text error and he agreed). I almost finished the game. I don't change game very much, only correct some scenes (like with girl in the shower) now game does not ends ofter that scene, and now in game you can get more answers.

[karrek]

Awesome news! I really liked the demo and am looking forward to the finished game. Cheers.
