Telltale Games

Gabelstapler · 11/02/2006, 01:06 am

hello telltale ! ( yes this goes out strictly to you ! )
I have a good idea : what when you offer language patches for free, which are developed by the fanbase ? you could make a event out of this and make a casting ( or somethin like this ) to find the best voices in each language !
I guess you fanbase would apreciate that very much and would even rise ?

please give reply to this idea !

we would love you for that !

yours

so what you others think about that ? isnt this a great idea ?

Laserschwert · 11/02/2006, 01:11 am

No... noooo... nooooo! NOOOO!!!

C'mon, no dubbing by fans. That wouldn't work out. Having a group of fans work on subtitles, that I could live with. But if there's voice work, I'd either want it to be done by professionals (Hans Gerd Kilbinger and Sandra Schwittau as in "Hit the Road" for the German version would be fantastic!) or just have it subtitled. Bone is getting a German dub, so maybe it'll work with "Sam & Max" as well.

EDIT: Thanks for your "nice" PM, Gabelstapler. I'm very sorry that I have an opinion on this topic. And I'm also sorry, that I'd like to have a QUALITY German version of the game, and not some amateur work. I'm sorry that I upset you, and I'm even more sorry that my comment might make TellTale think, that an fan-dub might NOT be a good idea. Did I say I'm sorry? Yes? Sorry, I didn't mean THAT...

I agree with Laserschwert. Fansub... yes. Fandub... no. And I don't really want a PM about my opinion

Gemeinagent · 11/02/2006, 03:37 am

I'll second that! No fandubs, only fansubs (if wanted by the community)!

(Seems we have ourselves a little german get-together here

)

Edit: Make that continental europe

Hello,

I'm french and I 've just finished the demo version.

You are talking about language patches and fansub ?
Can a french team do a french patch for a Telltale Game ?
If there is a possibility to do this sort of things, i really want to try !

If you know how to make it, it'll be great !

Thanks !

Germans always want language patches, they are too lazy to learn English.

I think my English is quite reasonable... yet, I still want a language patch (and that's probably because of "Hit the Road" being dubbed perfectly... at least Sam and Max).

TheGreyMatter · 11/02/2006, 06:45 am

actually there is a tool for changing the subtitles for the CSI games... i think it's on mixnmojo.

my suggestion - start making a translation pack and when you have something to show , then talk with telltale.
ithink they will be more open to accept something when it's based in a strong ground and it's quality can be checked

MeaningOfLife · 11/02/2006, 06:59 am

Can you imagine Sam and Max speaking in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?

Because I can and that would be hilarious.

But seriously, that would simply cost too much to do for all the dubbings.

Gemeinagent · 11/02/2006, 07:09 am

I can live without a language patch. I just supported the no dubbing league

Just finished the game - a bit too short, but I can't wait for the next episodes

Well, "Bone" found a German publisher, and they're dubbing it... so, all doors open for "Sam & Max".

The exact location of the tool would be HERE.

I think it works just with Texas Hold'em and CSI3. Doesn't it?

DarkNemo · 11/02/2006, 01:25 pm

It seems...
Telltale, please, listen to us !

I don't even know Chinese... yet I demand a Chinese dub, and will pay good money for it!

yes, it would be very expensive ... but the most important languages must be dubbed ... German, Spanish and French ... above all German

other languages can be subbed ...

BarfHappy · 11/03/2006, 11:13 am

Well, it seems the fan-made translation is not to be organized form within this forum

We are not allowed to post patching programs or modification tools (which is understandable, some editors allow that, others don't, its their game afterall).

Just for you to know though, it is perfectly possible to translate the texts in the game (textures too), but that will be for you own enjoyment (and your friends').

Oh man. I hate dubbing. How can anyone stand it!?
