Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG

It’s roughly .001% closer to release though.

Let's see, that took roughly 12 hours. So by my math that means it will only take...

...13.69 years...

You're off by a digit. It's 136.9 years.

How's that in Blakemore years?

 

[agris]

How many wordlock chests were there in BaK? I don't remember if I've bought it yet, but I've been seriously considering it.

Afaik, 143.

Yeah, it’s a lot.

I can't say that makes it better...

No hope is better than false hope.

Except it's wrong as well because it implies he just started from scratch and we all saw screenshots and videos.

So at worst, if 40% is already done, it's only 82 years.

Rejoice! The young retards the Codex is harboring will be able to play some incline before they die according they have a healthy diet and they're lucky.

And don't catch one of the next gen Coronavirus and the likes.

Spoiler

And be careful while crossing the streets in the last decades.

Spoiler

And don't get shot ...

Spoiler

And stop reading the codex, i'm sure it's bad for your health

 

[Rhuantavan]

All of the above applies to the developer too, so hold your rejoicing even further!

Now I'm really worried.

Made my latest patreon post on wordlock chests public:

Since then, the in-game font has been revisited - made larger and more readable. Also the missing apostrophes in the riddle are now in

 

[Ninjerk]

Those apostrophe placements are really awkward to read for me.

What apostrophe?

What apostrophe?

Commas, rather.

Do you mean the tittle?

I don't see something special about them or at least they don't bother me

 

[Sweeper]

So when's this coming out?

Commas, rather.

They seem to be used correctly for apostrophes commas.

We're not talking strictly about correct/incorrect here. "Whatever the reason, he thought..." suggests that we are viewing an internal monologue (i.e. not spoken), but what follows reverts to a description external to the character. If the comma after "reason" was removed, it would look less like an internal monologue and more like the narrator is informing us that the reason the character who is looking at the chest is irrelevant (which I suspect is the purpose here, or else we have this thought hanging around with no resolution).

 

[Ninjerk]

Also the comma before "most probably" looks like it could be a comma splice, but maybe it could qualify as a non-defining relative clause. The mechanics there are a bit more sophisticated than I have the training to correct. Those sections just read very awkwardly to me.

You are right here, the comma there is either irrelevant, or the "he thought" part could be skipped altogether. There may be more such gems in the text, but my excuse is that those were written in a hurry and most likely will be revisited. I's good to have bros point such things out!

I don't find that one too awkward; It is a non-defining relative clause.

 

[Ninjerk]

At such a level of writing, I find myself constantly self-editing.

 

[Rhuantavan]

Of course, editing in like 80% of the total writing time.

 

[*-*/\--/\~]

I really like that mechanism but it can be really tough on non-native speakers.
Here, for example, there's only one word i can find but i'm not quite sure it works.

FROWN

Well, at least, it's better with the letters, there's no way i could find the solution of this one without them.

The solution is

Spoiler

SWORD

But the nice thing is that there's a limited number of letters on each tumbler, so you can brute-force it if you want

Well, I failed in the same way, thinking that I have to use the letters displayed. :D

Says the guy who started his paragraph with “Also,” an adverb that requires the use of a comma when used at the beginning of a sentence.
