Our Russian Friends

[Greek2me]

I really wish we had more interaction with them. They're an enthusiastic bunch that lives over here: http://vk.com/blockup

It's just always interested me that this game has such a large Russian following when it's completely written in English.


They translate practically everything in the game! It's adorable:



edit: Another Russian fan site! I think this one is run by Halmet: http://blockland.my1.ru/

Interesting to see a foreign group playing one of our games in english.

Maybe we could make some sort of language mod? It would take a long time I suppose.

nah
wouldn't be pretty easy to change the default text, somewhat like a theme

I have a theory that we could make a custom font where unused characters (maybe capital letters or symbols or something) are used to represent Cyrillic characters. From there it would be relatively easy to implement a Russian language mod.

So for example, take these characters:


Then when you make the font, instead of drawing a 'Z' for example, you would draw one of those. To display that character in-game you simply type a 'Z'.

Wow they have a pretty good sized playerbase for blockland too

[QuadStorm]

It's pretty neat that they made a whole community like that. They even made a blockland manual it seems.

More highlights:
Client_Cyrillic.zip - yes, they make add-ons too

That was made by lugnut port and icygamma

whoops; a guy just linked directly to the file so i just assumed one of them made it

Halmet's uploaded 300+ pages of mods to that site and added Russian descriptions to every last one of them: http://blockland.my1.ru/load/

Badspot needs to make friends with this guy! He's running the whole Russian operation practically.

on the first page alone I'm spotting mods that I haven't even heard of
this is really cool, especially considering the time and effort that probably went into this

Now we wait for the chinese to arrive :D.

Am I the only one who has never seen a Russian in a server?

I think they're typically those players who don't seem to understand how to talk and don't respond at all.
