I am once again begging indie devs to hire a copy editor for their games. Especially for a dialog-heavy game, having it full of typos and punctuation errors just makes the whole thing read like a middle school writing prompt. It's just so embarrassing.

I see so many writing-heavy games with serious mistakes. It’s an epidemic. I wish it was considered more important.

just pretend i wrote it and read it in my voice. that is some shit i write in our discord dms on the reg
thats why game devwlopers need to thrn their curse into their strength. make da rest of da writing fucked up on purpose .. adds 2 the Flavor
I just want to be able to make a PR against Final Profit to fix all of the comma splices. Is that so much to ask?!
I will (and do) fix any that are pointed out to me. My brain misses a lot of these + I'm a solo dev who launched with $0 funding + the game is gargantuan.
The game is otherwise fabulous, and I'm really having a blast with it. But if you make enough back, it would probably be worth hiring a copy editor to take a pass through for a patch release.
That is something I'd like to do. It will probably happen right before localisation begins because there is another hurdle, the game text isn't in an exterior doc atm (horrible I know, lesson learned the hard way) so I'll need to put one together for both purposes.
Oh, hi! I'd be happy to make notes going forward as I play the game. What's the least painful way for you to receive them?
That's very kind thank you, either the feedback channel on the game's discord or the steam forums are places I will definitely see them.
give! those! mail! enthusiasts! back! their! found!!
