I wonder if it's just a coincidence. :)

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. One of our friends at fallout.ru checked with Unigine Corp's boss Den Shergin and the latter said that the offer did include source code and support. (Although I wish the question specifically mentioned FREE access to source code and support.)

Sam Ecorners, pointing your finger in the general direction of the solution you propose is not the way to have a constructive argument. You think Wasteland 2 needs translation by committee? Cool. Build your case for Notabenoid and defend it. Or, if you're feeling particularly lazy, mount an...

No. Why?

So Brian really plans to crowdsource the localization, huh? That's a shame. Because I strongly support Brian's approach of making games "by gamers, for gamers". Making games that you enjoy making for fans that enjoy playing them without some suit writing you a check, looking over your...

egalor, yeah, I know. I looked them up on Wikipedia because I was curious whether DLA Piper was related to the investment banking firm Piper Jaffray whose analysts often comment on the video game market. Turned out they weren't. BTW, DLA Piper's global co-chairman is one Anthony Angel, which...

The Piper at the Gates of… Legal Hell? (sorry, couldn't resist :)

Sam Ecorners, I'm trying to focus on solutions that produce predictable results in predictable timeframes. Crowdsourcing is not one of them. egalor, my idea here is to counter the intuitive but profoundly incorrect assumption many laymen have that translation is easy and natural just because...

I've just thought up a neat concept and I think the multilingual among us might appreciate it. Or at least get a couple of chuckles out of it. I was thinking of the best way to convey to Mr. Fargo, a supposedly monolingual individual (mille pardon if I'm mistaken), the idea of how difficult...

…which is nothing short of a miracle considering that they basically used the English version as source. :) (Also, see this discussion featuring the localization's editor for some more details). I wish it were true, but I played the latest, most updated and enhanced edition.

Localization by volunteer professionals, huh? That's… a daring concept indeed. BTW, research shows that sarcasm (as well as other nuanced emotions) is easily misinterpreted in electronic communications. :)

I've volunteered (right from the start, actually) to help Brian out with the overall organization and logistics for Russian localization. (Having been in the industry for more than a decade, I think I have some insights to share.) I hope he finds someone competent on his end to manage the...

Wasteland 2 Kickstarter video transcript I transcribed the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter video for fan translation/subtitling and also for those who understand text better than speech. I'm a professionally trained translator/interpreter (English<>Russian) with ~15 years experience, but this doesn't...

Before we wax all emotional and get way off topic, I wonder if anyone from F.M.F. can write a post mortem for their project. Seven years is a LOT (not the Polish flying type) of time! To think of it, TeamX has been around forever, which in fact is "only" nine years. Surely there is something to...
