Right, I have to say something very important: I suck at coding and everything that requires me to think in numbers or think in general, I didn't choose my glorified profession of "translator" to think!
That's why my initial idea was to create "Let's play Pathologic" videos where I would just run around, trying to complete the game AND narrating all the text I see in game. I know, sounds stupid, but hey - I wanted to do what I could do, seeing as I can't code for shit and editing in-game text would be impossible task for me.
Enter Anonymous #1, who commended me on my efforts and offered his help. I said to him that I will stick to my original format of "Let's play" videos because, frankly, I can't do anything else. But he didn't stop there, no, siree. He told me that he knew some coder guy, who's trying to translate some games for DS and other platforms. I honestly had no faith or expectations for getting help from guy I don't even know.
Little did I know that he made all of this possible. Not only did he code a special program for me to unpack all in-game text, but he also spoonfeeded me on how should I use it (I am a very dumb person, I spend about 4-5 minutes on thinking during the whole year).
SO HERE I AM
DOING EVERYTHING I CAN
to finish translating this wonderful game. The die has been cast, I'm motivated enough to see this project to its completion, so I really hope that my efforts won't be in vain.
I'll keep you updated on any new info I get. And don't worry if you don't hear anything from me for a week - it's hard to balance between translating 3 MB of unintelligible Russian text, work and other stuff but I'll try my best - that I can promise.

DeleteOutstanding ! I've been keeping an eye on this game since a while ago, but always restrained myself to buy it since I kept hearing about the awful translation. Good luck !
