Yes, it's "bureaucrat."

And that IS your signature that I was talking about.

What we all have been waiting for has finally happened!

The Swedish game Zander has been translated to English. Or at least the first chapter.
There may be spelling mistakes and overall strange language but what the heck...

Report to danielsonleo@hotmail.com if you find bugs or untranslated text boxes (or major spelling mistakes).

Don't be frightened by the graphics (it's not bad, it's Dragon Warrior inspired Raspberry!

). It's the plot that counts.

No it's not.

So you think a game with bad graphics can never be good?

That's not what he said. What he said is it's not plot that counts, and it isn't. It's presentation and gameplay that count.

Well, OK. But you got to admit that the plot is one of the things that count.
And a good plot improves presentation and gameplay...

Expect a review someday. I'm beginning to like this game, though the battles are absolutely terrible.

Ideally plot should be a slave to the gameplay. Donkey Kong is an okay example, you need to get past these barrels and climb ladders and go up, that's what the game is about, but why? Well, let's put something the hero wants at the top, a princess. It could've been anything, gold, pornography, penis enlargement pills, but putting the hero's favorite sex partner at the top of the stage gives the player reason to climb, it clarifies what you're supposed to be doing and why. Without something at the top to obtain, you'd be disinterested, you'd say "Fuck you Donkey Kong, throw your barrels all you want, I don't give a shit." If you'd rather make a good story than make good battles and good exploration elements, write a novel.
