Orxonox in Japanese

[beni]

Well, as a few of you guys know I study some japanese at the sprachenzentrum. There we recently learnt how to write words from foreign languages in japanese. Of course I couldn't come around to write those three words from Orxonox in japanese katakana:

Orxonox - オルクソノクス -

Orx - オルクス -

Noxon - ノクソン -

I know it is probably totally stupid and no one's interested. But please let me have my fun with that language .

Cool!
Now the menu... we need more japanese fans

Transations won't be a problem. Once we are in Ubuntu Orxonox will be translated in 20+ languages, if our code allows that.

To translate the whole game to japanese (probably even with voice over) is extremely difficult. Any language will be ^^.

I thought we could probably put in a few japanese textures or hidden messages somewhere in the game. That would be funny.

Yeah, like the final boss of Doom2... he had a message that was played back in reverse and that said what the solution to his own doom was

[beni]

In Prince of Persia - Warrior within there's a monster which talks only backwards. If you make a mistake in the game you can let the time run backwards and then you hear the monster telling you you're doomed and that there is no way for you to get away .

Yeah... never heard that one, but it sounds cool
