Hello reefs,

Hope you are still kicking. It’s time for glorious testing of English version of POTEHO

So, a test build will be done by the end of this week. Therefore, I am starting to assemble every volunteer in my list. If someone wants to participate, please email me (joruba 92 @ mail . ru).

Goal: To test the game and, which is the most vital, it’s translation. We can spare only around a month and a half on that. We are going to release in the middle of this summer (Jesus, three years!).

Requirements:
Decent or native English
Skype account
Steam account
Solid experience in the series
Desire to make the game better and to see more games like POTEHO (and much better) in the future

Rewards:
Free game if you don’t own it already
Well deserved place in the credits
Chance to play the game first (it’s fully operational, no major bugs, only a lot of translation mistakes, most of them are not critical)
We will think of more ways to show our gratitude to you, no pessos at this moment, I am sorry, maybe later, who knows? =)

Feel free to write me.

Lads, I’ve got a translation question for you.

How to correctly write ship names? For example: We boarded ‘Neptune’ or we boarded Neptune. Or maybe the Neptune?

We had several translators working on the game, including myself, so there is some mess in names and/or sea terms. I am doing editing now (almost done).

I have in mind starting with several FAQs and guides on steam forums and here. Eventually, those will form into complete walk-throughs. We expect players to find out all secrets and questlines themselves first, the game is all about surprises and “to each his own” stuff. No need to ruin all the fun.

By the way, there are already tons of guides and walk-throughts in russian, it took almost a year to fully explore the game.

I heard there was something like an ironman or hardcore mode in one of the Russian forums that causes you to literally direct sail for hours in real time to get somewhere to look for some kind of quest item. Is that true?

Not quite so. There is a hardcore mode (saving only in churches/sacred grounds) which heavily affect some quests. For example, a Regatta quest. Or situations like “take cover behind an enemy fast enough so his seven musketeer-pals will shoot him instead of you”

If you beat POTEHO on VH with Hardcore mode on, I will bow to you and call you a master.

spend a few months with it before I even think about modding it.

The game is huge, a single 100% walkthrough might take around 150 hours (10-15 ingame years) on Normal difficulty.

1. It will.
2. It’s possible, can’t say much, NDA.

Is there any possibilities to import GOF Eras 2 to Pirate Oddysey+Caleuche?

I guess there is a such possibilty, once we release the game with open scripts and Program folder.
But there are lot of changes in the code compared to the last version, so it won’t be easy.

I look forward to Joruba possibly joining in the discussion.

Hello MK

Yup

Working hard and testing English version right now. Any related materials and news I shall post here in this topic.
