Pathologic 2 Hungarian translation

hey Pathologic fans! i'd like to make a Hungarian fan translation/localization of Pathologic 2 (and eventually classic HD). i have read this article on how to make a translation, but it's very bare bones. if anyone has experience in the following, please contact me at [email protected] or in this tumblr blog

experience in translation and localization (i think i know the difference between the two)

experience in packaging mods for pathologic

experience in Unity (i need to get the hungarumlaut (ő,ű) working in the game)

knowledge of the Russian language. i am comfortable translating from English, but i don't know a word of Russian (but hey, this is a great way to learn a language)

i have little experience in translation, having only translated boardgame rulebooks (that's how i learned English). i have a vague idea on how to start:

first pass would be to map out pathologic dialogs and link references between texts to preserve as much context as possible

secondly a meaning-to-meaning translation would take place (translation)

finally i would revisit dialogs and texts rewriting it to be more natural in Hungarian, diverging from the word-to-word translation

if this is not how a localization should be done, please let me know

in a few days i'll set up a GitHub repo for the fan translation. please suggest me workflows for tracking dialog and context for the texts. any additional help is welcome

please share this so it reaches more people

[jan-kapoli]

i made this a long time ago and just rediscovered it in my folders

[jan-kapoli]

so... i'm going through a lot lately (don't worry, i am fine) and posting online seems more and more exhausting, so sorry if i didn't get around to comment on your cool posts. i promise i'll be back (with a lot of cool new projects) but now i need time to recharge

[jan-kapoli]

one of the perks of having your email public is getting shitty scam mail like this

yes, i'm subscribed to Protons MaiІ, whatever that might be

please, tell me why i received these emails

ROOT AND NERVE IS CLOSE

[jan-kapoli]

i'm not saying you don't have to worry, because i don't know the specifics about your situation, but i had a similar problem and they managed to extract the tooth without a problem. in my case it was a root with kind of a hook shaped end running close to the nerve. but they did a 3D scan beforehand and were very careful about it. in the end it came out and left the nerve untouched, but the local anesthetic wore off, i was still scared if it really didn't mess up anything

[jan-kapoli]

if we ever got in contact with aliens, what do you think humans would be known for? i'll go first:

π. the fact that arguably the most famous number on earth is HALF of the circle constant is mindblowing. we just went with it like it's normal

daylight saving. keeping track of time on a rotating, tilted spheroid orbiting a sun is hard. timezones are a mess. THEN we decided why not just complicate it even further by adding daylight saving (i know this one is not a global thing, but surely a notable feature of humanity)

[jan-kapoli]

i noticed that in communities polls get waaay more interactions than regular posts. are people really just scrolling by, seeing a poll asking "Hey guys, should i..." "YES" and then scroll past?

[thatonejarofspacenutella]

i wanna make a thing :)

but i have no time to make a thing :(

[jan-kapoli]

same :(

[jan-kapoli]

i wish there was a feature to add notes to certain users. i could keep track of why i followed someone for example

[jan-kapoli]

i'm so disappointed

i am finetuning my worlds climate and i really wanted a solar system different to earth. but whenever i decrease the size of the sun, half the planet freezes over and if i increase the size, i get no cool ice caps

tumblr is weird

so i always thought how likes worked on tumblr was weird. you like any reblogs, then you liked the whole thing. BUT the person who reblogged last sees the notification that you liked their specific reblog. weird...

but apparently this changed and i don't know how i feel about it. it's a bit more sane this way, but i did like the spaghetti coded microblogging site as it was

[jan-kapoli]

i didn't know how controversial this change was lol

first Orb of Yendor in classic mode! it was easy to find my way back in the Yendorian forest, but i needed the teleport and energy orbs to find the key high up in the sky between the branches

I have a VERY big question to ask here.

I've lurked on the internet for ages and recently made this account because I've been searching for some kind of connection. I have my own very, very big game dev dreams, with a dream game I wanna develop, but sometimes the scope and ambition can draw people back. Especially when, that said game, is a PvE/PvP hero shooter with special mechanics I haven't seen in any other hero shooter. Like for example, recource based abilities, items that you can collect and combine into one time use abilities, dual class roles for each character, each with its own passive, modern/classic fantasy themes... and many more.

I've built this project over 3 years with a few close friends who drifted off and now... I'm kinda alone and lonely... So I wanted to appear and show people my stories, my ideas, my characters, even if it is just text and maybe a sketch, because I'm not that great at drawing yet. But I'm... Scared. Scared that it won't pick up, or that I will never have people that click with the idea, or just be ignored.

But I didn't really know how to say anything. I want this thing to brew and be shown off instead of leaving my ideas all on the internet for anyone to find. I just really don't know what to do... So I want a second opinion.

Comment here... And tell me... In this desperation I find myself in, what do you reckon is the best move?

[jan-kapoli]

in my experience art is often ignored, but not because it's bad. it is in abundance with the internet making it readily available; and people often interact with it superficially. even more rare are the people who genuinely connect with you through your art

i honestly don't know the best way to forge a community, but i'm here in these spaces to interact with people and i'm sure others like me are here too. so i encourage you to keep posting here and bear the silence it might receive

as for discord servers: i have no idea, i don't use discord. but their ephemeral nature makes it hard to retroactively look up things posted there even days ago. for keeping a record of art i believe a blog (even a microblogging site like [tumblr]) is best. but there might be more people on discord, so i guess that's a point in its favour

[jan-kapoli]

so i am reading Wildlife on the Planet Furaha by Gert van Dijk and it's everything i wanted from No Man's Sky

i was so excited to play NMS when i first got my hands on it. i loved the idea to explore different planets with their own unique and alien flora and fauna. i read every creature and plant scan while i was playing it. but soon i realized that while it's a universe wide, it's also a puddle deep

i have nothing against procedural generation, it can be really good and useful, but when you contrast it with something (maybe smaller scale) but handcrafted (Outer Wilds, Furaha, etc.) you can really see its shortcomings

that being said i'll probably continue playing NMS, it's still a good game, i love to take in the sights of its numerous planets

but also i'll be on the lookout for worlds crafted with care and love, in any form of media. (that's why i love a lot of worldbuilding project here on Tumblr)

I completed @jan-kapoli 2nd challenge!! Very fun, lots of giggling was involved

[jan-kapoli]

yaay, you did it! ::D

i suspected that you cannot autopilot to the Sun Station, but i didn't even manage to lock onto it yet

btw, do you wanna see my favourite rock in the game? (yes, i played OW for so long that i have a favourite rock) if yes, just dm me. i don't wanna post it publicly, as it would be patched out of the game quickly
