Ah, just make your next game, and give your translation to me. I can correct it to make it sound like natural English.
It's a really nice game, I hope to see more work from you.
And hey, I'm in the credits! Yay!

Pedro, estoy leyendo todo acerca de tus juegos, SAW1 y SAW2, que me encantan. Me reÃ leyendo que dices por ahÃ que tu prÃ³ximo juego serÃ¡ solo en EspaÃ±ol. Menos mal que tambiÃ©n agradecen tus esfuerzos por traducÃrselos al inglÃ©s.
Yo agradezco infinito que algunos como tÃº hagan juegos en espaÃ±ol. Me encanta jugarlos todos ya sea en inglÃ©s o espaÃ±ol o italiano (que son los idiomas en que me manejo mÃ¡s o menos bien) pero me cuesta menos en espaÃ±ol que es mi lengua materna.
Bueno en realidad te escribo para felicitarte tanto por el video como por el juego que estoy jugando muy contenta. Si me veo muy "atascada" puedo pedirte ayuda por mail? No puedo hacerlo en los hints PORQUE NO ME RESULTA POR PROBLEMAS DEL TECLADO hacerlo ocultamente.
Mi hija es traductora de espaÃ±ol-italiano-inglÃ©s. De hecho le ayudÃ³ en la traducciÃ³n a ... (mejor no lo digo)... Si quieres le preguntas si te puede ayudar, ahora estÃ¡ de vacaciones pero no sÃ© si tenga tiempo. (renataqb@hotmail.com)
Bueno no puedo criticarte tecnicamente pero como simple jugadora te felicito y agradezco tus lindos y entretenidos juegos.

Muchas gracias. y por supuesto que me puedes pedir ayuda.

OK, this game looks much better and is more interesting then your first one. You certainly remarkably advanced in design, graphics & story.
However the English is still awful, especially the dialogues. Yes the English is better than the first game but it's still very bad. And you already KNOW your English is very bad because people criticized that when you released your first game. And STILL you didn't care to make a descent English translation. Don't you want people to love and appreciate your game? I'm sure you do! then why do you present them with such a poor English? this level of bad English just discourages people and makes them quit playing the game. It just disturbs me that you know your English is very bad because it has been criticized before, yet you make no effort to release the game in proper English. There are plenty of English natives here who would help you correct the English translation and make it presentable. All you had to is seek them and ask for help.
And again, the default language of the game is not English. Since most people here talk English but most people here don't speak Spanish, English should always be the default language.
Also the game is lacking descriptions when looking at hotspots and there's no reactions when trying to use or pick up stuff, and the dialogues are simply too generic.
So in the visual side and story development you are good and made a great progress from the first game, but in the actual most important aspects of adventure gaming elements you haven't made enough effort, the game is lacking what makes an adventure game a good adventure game - language, interesting dialogues, hotspots descriptions and interaction comments.... the whole interactivity aspect - the living the character and game world aspect is barely existant.

Alliance will improve the translation

(I didn't make the translation. it was made by other person $:-\$ )

deadsuperhero · Tue 17/07/2007 23:24:37

Yep, I'm working on smoothing out the English. (And no, I didn't do the original translation)

Should be done by tomorrow.

There is a new fix in the first post

SAW 2 is in english too. you should open the file "configuracion". then you should select "english translate" in game lenguage

Wrong, all you need is to run WinSetup.exe in the game directory and choose English from the language menu on the right.

That wasn't wrong! there are two ways to make that and both are right.

Anyway, I finished the game and I liked it very much. Thanks Pedro!

Ok Immortal, I only mentioned it just in case people didn't knew how to change the in-game language. How did you managed to complete the game anyway? I got stuck where you use the knife with the background of the lockless box.

AdventureMan:

Spoiler

Use the cassette 2 with the tape recorder. You will find some hints.

Pedro,

I just finished playing your SAW II game and was ...beyond shocked, to be honest. You did an outstanding job in not only keeping the game true to the SAW genre - but making a VERY decent adventure game as well! I cannot state enough how thrilled I was with the game in general! Keep up the amazing work!

Also - on a side note - should you require an English voiceover for Jigsaw.. I can do Jigsaw's voice to a T.. Let me know in a PM if you are interested!

Take care! And perhaps I shall look forward to a SAW 3 from you?

Cyrus · Sat 13/09/2008 07:56:50

Are you planning any more games in the series?

Dualnames · Sat 13/09/2008 20:25:40

That was a while..gj anyways.

I like this game, it's really cool, I'm just having major problems with it.

As noted above I get no response from most of the actions I try to do, and the character walks extremely slowly. I can't seem to find any way of choosing my action except for keep bringing up the bar at the top of the screen, is there some other way as this takes ages to do anything?

I downloaded the fix: fix Saw2.rar and put it in the Saw 2 folder, it doesn't seem to do anything, what does it do? Do I have to do something else to make it work?

Thanks for any help.

Edit: Not to worry, I've finished it now. Very nice game, but I agree the translation does detract from the otherwise fine puzzles and atmosphere. I highly recommend getting someone with English as their first language to tidy up the dialougue for this and future games.

Good work!

Pedro · Mon 15/09/2008 22:15:35

#Marc2006 Thank you. I will send you a PM when I need you for this job.

#CYrus. Yes there will be saw 3. We are working hard to get the best saw game.
Here you can see an image from saw 3:

#robvalue. The fix improves the translation. It was made by Alliance.

Cyrus · Wed 17/09/2008 08:58:47

What can you tell us about the plot? Will you post any gameplay screenshots?
