Game in different languages?

    I'll be honest, at first I had my doubts. I didn't really know if I would love the game or not for a lot of details. Fortunately for me, some people suggested it to me (hardcore mode) and I decided to give it a try. The game conquered my satisfaction in a matter of minutes.

    Then I started giving some feedback to friends online and in real life. This is where I encountered a HUGE problem.
    See, the thing is, I'm french. Quebec french, but it doesn't matter. When I tried to show the game to my little sister, I ended up translating everything to her. She couldn't get any of the humor that comes with DoD, and it kinda made me feel sad. She actually loved the game a lot, it's her first dungeon crawler experience and she learned the ropes in roughly 15 minutes (with some help), but still... she cannot get the full experience.

    Soooo, wondering if you guys (OH! great Divine Creators) have any plans to translate the game. Not only in french but in as many languages possible? Hell, I'd be willing to help for FREE!

    Yeah, getting this game in more languages would be awesome.

    I think the element would need the most revising would be the random name generator.
     
  3. yeah, sentences made from different parts (like room and item names) would be the most troublesome, but providing devs are willing to implement languages, I'm up for it and would love to lend a hand since I'm already a translator at Steam :p
