The Tomorrow War Interview

[starlord]

Thank you evgeny: those are GREAT news!

I suppose 1C will be responsible for the distribution of "factor K" right? I simply hope that the add-on will also make it to us.

It would be good to prevent another "homeplanet" disaster.

Nota: homeplanet was a promising space sim (very well known in russia) but it failed to be released outside (although an english demo exists). The new publisher, russobit-M kept it russian exclusive.

Although luckily, I managed to find a copy (it was very hard to get it to come to france) and I also managed to find a programmer who told me he could do an english subtitle patch (for homeplanet gold, which is the version I have).

Sorry to get on with this, but since this incident, those issues have been quite important to me.

best regards.

mike.

Can you provide me a link to the English demo of Homeplanet Starlord, would like to try it out?

Thx in advance

[starlord]

here you go: http://www.fileplanet.com/119449/110...omePlanet-Demo

As for my advice: hear me: Get this game if you can (the gold version of homeplanet as it contains homeplanet and playing with fire).

several russian sites are selling the game:
http://www.cdvseti.ru/id5476.html
http://www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/2409226/
http://www.yakaboo.com/ru/film.html?film_id=8271
http://shop.bigmir.net/goods/1729591


The only thing is russian sites can't ship up to our contries: That's a shame.

Also, homeplanet gold will be in russian speech (only the demo got an english subtitle system). Yet there may be hope as oleg petrov (programmer of homeplanet and currently working on babylon 5, I've found her, says he could create an english patch for homeplanet gold at some point (when he's less busy with B5IFH) as the whole english script was written for the game, but russobit-M who now onws it wants to keep it russia-exclusive.

Evgeny, since you are russian, is there some advice you could give us on how to buy homeplanet gold copies and to have them shipped in france or belgium?
Could 1C one day be interested in publishing homeplanet gold to our countries? (although I think I know what the answer will be).

I hope this answers your questions and I hope that publishers will keep such an incident from repeating itself.

[LtJamesWatts]

Hey thx, will certainly give it a try asap

If I like it I wouldn't mind an answer too on how to get it shipped over here and with English subtitles or even better, English voiceovers

[starlord]

We'll be already lucky if oleg manages to incorporate english subtitles in homeplanet gold (although like I said, this will take quite some time), Yet I think you can already forget about english voice overs. But come on: that's not so bad: When I tried incoming forces for PC, the characters were speaking alien (no kidding), yet I found it to be quite good as long as the game was subtitled.

[LtJamesWatts]

True, English subtitles will do fine already, gives it a special flavour hearing voices in another language

If Russobit-M is the publisher of the game in Russia, they should also have the international rights for this one as well I guess. So this is more a question to Russobit-M rather than to 1C

[starlord]

Then I guess this answers my question: Russobit-M has been quite clear at keeping it russian exclusive. However, with the promise of an english patch, hope lives on. In the meanwhile, how can we import those to our countries? All the online shops I tried don't ship this far. What can we do? Any advice to give my russian friends?

Moderator, Sorry if this thread is starting to wander off topic. Move it if you wish to.

Don't know exactly about Russobit titles, but we are opening our own online store to make it easier to buy our games all across the world even if they are not present at your local retailers.
I think another way to do it is to ask somebody in Russia to ship it over to you.

[starlord]

Yeah, the only thing is such persons are hard to come by. Oh well, we'll see what the future might bring.

Although more 'international' shipping sites in russia I think would improve things too. I hear some of them are considering it.
