Release: Red Shift

[zalas]

I knew it, gp32 is Dr. E(ro)vil in disguise!

Alright, I'll give my opinion on this one...

Is there a way to turn off transition effects in the VN? Particularly in conversations, the fade effects (and also speeding up the text). In essence, making the game move on "instantly".
There isn't any way that I could find to do this (no preferences or similar menu). I've edited the 0.txt file to switch off the music, but I can't figure out how to avoid the transitions.

[Haeleth]

If you're happy editing 0.txt, then that's the quickest way. Change the third number in each "effect" command.

There are keyboard shortcuts to adjust the text speed. I think it's the first three number keys. One of them should select instant text display.

Thanks a lot!

Alright, after waiting long enough that I've totally forgotten the contents of the spoiler in that old post :) , I sat down and went through the game.

First of all, congratulations and thanks to gp32 and insani. Another first class translation.

I really like the choice of material; I hadn't meant to finish the thing, but got sucked in, lost track of time and did. It made me think, especially at the end of it, even more so after the perqvgf ebyyrq...

See above. Also, as your sometime compatriot put it:

Diese Männer, die ihn in der Rüstung trugen, innen, wie einen Gefangenen, diese Frauen, die sehr alt und klein wurden und dann auf einem ungeheueren Bett, wie auf einer Schaubühne, vor der ganzen Familie, dem Gesinde und den Hunden diskret und herrschaftlich hinübergingen. Ja die Kinder, sogar die ganz kleinen, hatten nicht irgendeinen Kindertod, sie nahmen sich zusammen und starben das, was sie schon waren, und das, was sie geworden wären.

Und was gab das den Frauen für eine wehmütige Schönheit, wenn sie schwanger waren und standen, und in ihrem großen Leib, auf welchem die schmalen Hände unwillkürlich liegen blieben, waren zwei Früchte: ein Kind und ein Tod. Kam das dichte, beinah nahrhafte Lächeln in ihrem ganz ausgeräumten Gesicht nicht davon her, daß sie manchmal meinten, es wüchsen beide?

Very good. One thing I noticed:

Anyway, thanks again for a good read.

Edit: oh, and GP32, you know you've spend too much time on this forum when you try to run the German through the ROT-13 decoder before you realize what it is.

hmm @gp32:
