P.S. I recommend reading the PDF version. The Online version is allways in a worse quality

Enjoy!

[Todesreiter]

Great !!! What about a Flash-Movie for this Story?

[Voodoomaster]

With the right artistic support we can plan to do almost everything, even a game. But right now we prefer to focus on the novel until it is not finished

Thank you for the comment.I'd like to know what you think of the English translation: have you got any advice? Is it ok?

"omage" should be spelled "homage". That was the only part that stood out for me!

[Sylvy]

sorry, where did you see it? I'm sure I never wrote it. I even looked for it in the text but it was nowhere to be seen...you sure it's not somewhere in the website? 'cause I didn't deal with that, so maybe that's the reason why I can't find it.


Apart from that (provided we can find it, I really don't remember it, I looked for it myself time and again, but nope...) how does that look to you? I mean, is the text fluent, natural,and all that? Does it sound "English"?

It's in the "Closing Credits" at the end, in computer-style writing.

It's readable as English. There are a few odd phrases here and there, like "things have got only worse," which should be, "things have only gotten worse." People who read English are tolerant of things like this, though, because we have such a complicated language, and the story is still understandable and easy to read. It's also written from Guybrush's perspective, so we can blame any grammar problems on him.

Next episode on April 5th!

Thank you everybody for comments and criticisms. They help us improving the project (the 'omage' thing was my fault, not Sylvy's. I'll fix it very soon).

Also coming Soon: the original Last Tales of Monkey Island Soundtrack, by the great musician&composter Riccardo Messori

So you like it. I'm really glad about that! Please let us know if anything is wrong because this will help us to improve our work. This is my first experience as a translator, and I'm not a native speaker of English, so it's a bit difficult for me to translate such a complicated thing, but I'm doing my best to make it sound natural. Thank you for your comment!

[Voodoomaster]

Let us know what you think of it, guys. Besides, it won't be long before episode 3 is out. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

[mightypirate]

Thanks for all the comments guys!











Wait... you didn't comment episode 2. Well, thanks anyway for reading

[Macfly77]

I've just read chapter three and I quite enjoy the story so far.
The tone is mostly right , the dialogue is pretty funny (and doesn't usually sound out of place with what the characters would usually say) and the story is quite intriguing.
There are some spelling mistakes and the grammar isn't perfect (as a native French speaker, I'm sure that mine isn't either ), but that doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the story.
Good job and keep'em coming!

Thanks you for the comment! You know, I'm not a native speaker, so of course some mistakes may happen. This is my first experience as a translator, so it's a challenging task, but it's really worth doing it. Anyway I checked the writing again and I already prepared a new edition which will be up soon. Thank you again, your comments help us improving our work.

Ok, so the mistakes are fixed. And a new chapter will be out soon, so enjoy it!
