Cheers!

[SNAFU]

Nice work, mate ;)

If you don´t mind a little rework, I would suggest to replace on

Page 7: Left bubble: "Wir sind getroffen" Right Bubble: "Wir sind unter Feuer" (We are under fire) or "Wir haben ein Feuer" (We have a fire here onboard)

Page 9: 109 jockey "Jetzt wirst du sterben, Tommy"

Page 10 "Jetzt habe ich Dich"

Otherwise it is quite charming the way it is now, keep it coming! ;)

[grayson1337]

I would suggest an alternative for SNAFUs correction for Page7: "Wir haben ein Feuer"
Try "Wir brennen!"

cheers ;)

[BigPickle]

wicked mate love the idea, just like reading Commando again, bravo!
S!

[Redroach]

Noooo, as I stated in the other thread: Leave that English German alone! For a native german speaker, it has its special charme! Leave it in there! :D

[Fjordmonkey]

Great stuff :D

[palker4]

where is the like button :) ?

[Mysticpuma]

Like the idea, really nice. Can you tell me what Plug-in you used in Photoshop to get that effect? Really cool. Cheers, MP

[Rattlehead]

Great work! It's just like reading a comic book.

[MACADEMIC]

Super Nice, thanks! :)

(indeed, where's the 'Like' button?).

[BRIGGBOY]

very nice and thx for sharing.

Thanks for the translation corrections! I know about 2 actual words in german, other than that I'm relying on internet translator :/

Thanks for the encouragement guys! The conclusion should be coming soon (along with the translation hotfix's)

EDIT:
I used a stock Photoshop filter. Kinda looks simular to a poster doesn't it? :P

[badfinger]

In Episode 1, page 1 it says "Fire at Will".

How do you tell which one is Will?:)

binky9

[Srinidhalaya]

How do you tell which one is Will?

Its rather simple, Will is obviously from Texas, just shoot at guy with the cowboy hat!

Nooooo! leave it the way it is, please! As I said on pg 1, it has its special charm(e?)!

So the translations can be read? Not just nonsense? More of a "obvious your not German" kinda thing?

[SNAFU]

Well, it is understandable for a native german speaker. It gives the artwork a funny touch though, as if a the pilots are from the foreign legion, if you know what I mean. It puts a smile on your face, especially the "wir sind betroffen" (that would mean, "it concerns us", but I guess you mean "wir sind getroffen", that would be "we are hit")

So as I said, too, leave it like its is, it has its own charme and fits a comic, but if you do want to have it perfectly straight and clean... your choice, I like it the way it is... ;)

[FG28_Kodiak]

Ich bin auch immer sehr betroffen, wenn ich getroffen werde. :grin:

[badfinger]

Its rather simple, Will is obviously from Texas, just shoot at guy with the cowboy hat!

OK, but why do you have to pick on just Will? Is it because he's short? What about all those other guys?

binky9

[Srinidhalaya]

Is it because he's short?

Yes...

[Redroach]

So the translations can be read? Not just nonsense? More of a "obvious your not German" kinda thing?

Not at all, its completely understandable - the latter part of your question applies. It's just wacky German and that's what makes it so great ^-^
Actually, I've seen many non-native Germans try hard to achieve that style, but they're mostly not as good as what you've done here by accident :)

[Srinidhalaya]

Thanks Red. I'll just keep on with what I'm doing. EDITED original post to add the exciting conclusion.

[Lololopoulos]

Nice work, mate ;)

hahah coool! i was gonna ask how do you really say those things in German.
I'm glad we have a rather big german population in this forum. :)

[Lololopoulos]

Nooooo! leave it the way it is, please! As I said on pg 1, it has its special charm(e?)!

Sure,but i would also like to know how to say things correctly in German as i‘m learning it. :P

[Srinidhalaya]

Episode 2: Operation Tarpon Hunt

Here is a preview. This episode will be released all at once, with this preview as an exception.

I'm changing a few small layout details to make it appear more of a comic (such as a border for each page). Recruited some help with the dialog as well, but don't worry it has nothing to do with translation...I'm just not a writer... :)

Image removed due to typo. Below is episode two.

[Redroach]

Ah, the new issue of "Dover Chronicles" is coming soon... ^-^

[JG5_emil]

I love this pics :D

[Srinidhalaya]

Hey this thread survived the forum cleaning that just happened! Sweet.

A little hint about Episode 2; its based on the single player mission London Attack in single missions. :)

[Srinidhalaya]

The second episode is still coming, don't worry. Had to get some actual game time in, hence the delay... :P

[pupo162]

amazing work.. shame i cnat understand the german :(

[Srinidhalaya]

I hope I did the translation better this time. :/
Eventually I'm gonna redo everything to all one language and make different copies for each language. But for now I'm gonna keep this format. :)

Thanks Pupo!

Thanks Pupo!

wait, please don't. a mix of german and english adds to the authenticity. i really like it this way right now. :)

[Srinidhalaya]

wait, please don't. a mix of german and english adds to the authenticity. i really like it this way right now.

I was referring to an availability for those who wanted it, maybe in pdf format or something of such.... The postings will remain as is.
And thank you btw :)

[ATAG_Dutch]

Superb Srin!

I remember reading those Commando comics as a kid.

The Germans always had these stock phrases - 'Ach! Teufel!' , 'Gott im Himmel!' and 'Kamerad!' - whatever they may mean.

Go on, just for me? Cheers, great work!

[Srinidhalaya]

Thanks dutch!

The next episode will be called "Vulture"
Gee, wounder what its gonna be about :P

[badfinger]

I'm just glad to see Germans other than Will are being fired at.

binky9

[Srinidhalaya]

'Will' shall be making a return in a future episode...

[Srinidhalaya]

I haven't disappeared, I just got a new job! (it kicks ass btw)
Still working on a new episode, but it will take longer to pump them out. :)
I'm really looking forward to bringing the next episode to light. There will be a nice little twist.

[Lololopoulos]

awesome. looking forward to it. just don't let us wait too long. haha

[LcSummers]
