Quoting: rustybroomhandleI noticed the language thing too. It's not about grammar, since there's no issue with that - more a case of nuance. It's not super jarring, but noticeable. I think we'd need to extract some specific examples.
They're mostly literal translations from Argentine spanish. Though they're fine grammatically, they just sound a little awkward at times. I really don't think it detracts from the game much as well since its main attribute is the artwork.
You sure about that? Although the engine is argentinean, I think the script/original comic/art is Brazilian portuguese. Just saying coz Im an spanish native speaker and didnt notice the literal translation you mention, but maybe it is indeed the case with portuguese :)

Just my 0.02c as a foreigner... it doesnt feel much weirder that listening to a different variant than american english which is the main english i use i believe. I can understansd it, but British english sounds funny to me too for example

Quoting: tuubiDoesn't mean we somehow get more enjoyment out of badly written dialogue. Not in reference to this game in particular, just don't see your point.
My point is that a hold a c1 in english being close to have c2 now and i barely noticed that the english was off. Just a different wording that I would normally see in an american movie, but no different than when I go to different region where other words are more common.

That being said, I believe cheeseness is australian. His english sounds a little funny to me most of the time as well :)

Quoting: adolsonI find they polished it quite a lot since the early demo. I am not too far in, but I don't mind the voice acting. I'd rather that than have to read. :P
I think the voice acting is pretty good in general, but the English script feels a little off (not enough for me to dislike the game, but enough to notice that English is not the native language of the scriptwriters).
Which is okay, because most of us arent english native speakers either :)

Anyway, I bought it as a way to donate to godot engine... I wont have time to actually play it :(

How SteamOS could become a better console competitor

I tried to buy an steambox this winter, but dell insisted that I had to send them an easy to fake document (an scanned bill) to prove where I live... So I refused to continue the transaction. (Hell, most of my bills are html nowadays. I dont even have to gimp in anything!)

Im looking forward to buy an steambox announced on the store of steam to boost sales... I can afford it... If only they were easy to buy...
