Story Writers: Names from the X-Universe

[HelgeK]

In the german forum the question was raised what the URL for the X name generator was. I thought I'd share this with you too, especially since there's an international version as well Here goes:

While on the subject "stories", how is the translation of your german novella into english proceeding? Will it be included with X2 or will it be a separate download if at all?

Cheers

17 from 28 chapters are now done in raw translation, the rest is well under way. 3 of those 17 have already been finalized. I think we might complete the project around next summer.

That's a whole year for the translation of the book involving 15+ people - shows how much work this really is and why THQ never got it translated in the first place: it would have been awfully expensive.

Having the novella on the X2 CD would be the best alternative IMO, but I don't know if this will work out, time-wise. We'll have to wait and see...

Cheers

Yeah! put it on the X2 cd! That way I won't have to get the local bookstore to look it up! And I'll probably get is sooner, by the local bookstore's standards! lol
