You use the word ...One comment on the translation. You use the word "reconstituting", which sounded like the literal french translation.<br /><br />In English, I'd say that "reconstructing" or "reenacting" would be more appropriate.<br /><br />I think of "reconstituting" as "adding water to something to return it to its original form." Like, if you had powdered milk, you'd reconstitute it by adding water.<br /><br />Otherwise, looked perfect to me!Admanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581590650386705644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-60811555857290747122012-08-09T17:12:33.393-07:002012-08-09T17:12:33.393-07:00Just saw this:

You can also email me at aspragg@yahoo.com if that is more convenient.<br /><br />No, there was another French viewer, like yourself, who first notified me of the show. He sent me a translation of the first two or three minutes of the show (with Mathias and Cyril looking at the swimming pool, and then walking inside and sitting down to play).<br /><br />I did email back and forth with Marcus a few times. He was very gracious in asking for the entire episode to be made publicly available, but he didn't send me any English translations.<br /><br />I did study French for 3-4 years in high school, so even though I'm out of practice, I can still follow along with the major points.<br /><br />I'm currently at work, and unable to download the translation you did (the site is blocked). But I did watch it at home, and remember feeling that it was accurate. Translating is a funny thing, because you don't really translate word-for-word, but more the idea/concepts.<br /><br />I'll watch it again and let you know more specifics.<br /><br />The reason I asked if Chez Marcus was on again (the HIPS episode) was because there was a mini spike in French sales on those dates. So someone somewhere said something about it. :)<br /><br />Again, email me if you have more questions/comments, or just to chat.Admanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581590650386705644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-10280098369472231972012-08-09T11:45:14.031-07:002012-08-09T11:45:14.031-07:00You're welcome :) And yes, this translation ex...You're welcome :) And yes, this translation exercise is a good excuse for me to practice my video editing software and my english (or at least, to not forget the few I knew from school).<br /><br />About the trailer, how was the translation ? Was it clear enough ? Did I make horribles mistakes that an English speaker will never do ? I don't want to waste your time, but if you could brought me a quick feedback, that would be wonderful :)<br /><br />As far as I know, the "Chez Marcus" dedicated to your game has not been broadcasted on August 4/5. There was other "Chez Marcus" episodes, but not yours. You can see it here : <br /><br />http://www.nolife-tv.com/programmes/2012-08-04<br />http://www.nolife-tv.com/programmes/2012-08-05<br /><br /><br />Actually, you can see the broadcasting dates in the bottom of the trailer (I've not translated that, my bad). The trailer says that your "Chez Marcus" was on air for the first time July 4 at 7:30 PM, was rebroadcasted at 10:30 PM, and then in July 5 at 1:30 AM, July 7 at 4:30 PM and July 8 at 1:30 PM.<br /><br />After this, the "Chez Marcus" goes into a randomly broadcasting process. only the almighty Marvin (that's the name of the Nolife's server) knows and decides :)<br /><br />By the way, you said in your article that "The guy sent me the link to the show, as well as a translation."<br />Would Marcus have sent you a text file with the translation of his show ? If yes, I could use it to make you subtitles much more quickly.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sorry fort the long post :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255313345476431211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-23693566948084160732012-08-06T18:50:29.425-07:002012-08-06T18:50:29.425-07:00Ahh, that is hilarious!

That's too much work! But if it's something you enjoy, or if it helps you with your English, then I'd love to see it. <br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />By the way, was the Hidden in Plain Sight episode of Chez Marcus just on TV (maybe on August 4 or 5?)Admanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581590650386705644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-78817017018376519202012-08-06T17:38:17.430-07:002012-08-06T17:38:17.430-07:00Hello again !

I did my best and I hope that will be sufficient.<br /><br />As soon as possible, i will start the translation of the show. Even if it is viewable by everyone for free, i prefer ask to the Nolife crew if i'm allowed to broadcast a subtitled version of the show.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255313345476431211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-26325490011585692882012-07-11T19:22:17.973-07:002012-07-11T19:22:17.973-07:00I'd love a full translation of the entire epis...I'd love a full translation of the entire episode, but I would never ask anyone to do it. Isn't that a lot of work?<br /><br />I did look to see if there was any kind of real-time translation service (like Google Translate, but for video) but I guess technology isn't quite there yet. :)<br /><br />I've always rejected the idea of adding online multiplayer. Not only is it a lot of work, but you do indeed lose the feeling of knowing your opponent is sitting right next to you. I think the fact that the game is ONLY local multiplayer makes it great.<br /><br />A Windows version could certainly be done with gamepads. Xbox is really just a glorified Windows machine, and the same code runs on both PC and Xbox. All the development work was done on the PC, and it runs as of this moment on the PC (with USB gamepads!). So if I wanted to do a PC version, it's really just a matter (I think), of packaging it up and finding a distribution site.<br /><br />Maybe I'll think about that.Admanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581590650386705644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-22301035503104921502012-07-11T19:12:03.808-07:002012-07-11T19:12:03.808-07:00You're welcome :)
Do you want a translation o...You're welcome :)<br /><br />Do you want a translation of this "Chez Marcus" ? I can do it for you if you want.<br /><br />And yes, the main problem with a PC version is the fact that four people on the same keyboard is slightly less comfortable than a couch :) Plus, with an online version, you will lose the conviviality, who is the core of your great game.<br /><br />The only solution I see is to made a PC version compatible with keyboards, of course, but also USB pads. But I presume that means for you a lot of work ? It's a pity :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06255313345476431211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-7317196442258985162012-07-11T18:37:47.101-07:002012-07-11T18:37:47.101-07:00Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I was able to ...Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I was able to watch the show (and understand some of it!) and thought it was great. I liked how much they were laughing and really seemed to have a good time.<br /><br />I have thought about a PC version, but I'm not sure how it would work. It's really a game that is designed for a couch-and-TV. Do you think it would work for the PC?<br /><br />PlayStation is pretty much impossible. It's much harder to get an indie game onto the PS3. Xbox is easy. Anyone with $99USD can do it.<br /><br />I have lots of other game ideas, but no time/energy/motivation at the moment. Keep your eyes on this blog for any news, though. Who knows when inspiration with strike!<br /><br />Thanks again for contacting me. It's really great to get feedback on the game.Admanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01581590650386705644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369026563715179581.post-11045472411632360072012-07-11T18:26:51.026-07:002012-07-11T18:26:51.026-07:00Hi, I'm a French viewer of the channel Nolife....Hi, I'm a French viewer of the channel Nolife.
