PAD'S PROFILE

Hello, I am the creator of Hell Gates 1 and 2. I am also known under the nickname "Valadurs Erbe". "Valadurs Erbe" is the German subtitle of the game Hell Gates 2. It can be translated with the words "Valadur´s Legacy" or "Valadur´s Heir". This also gives the subtle hint that I am living in Germany.

I also enjoy immensely playing all kinds of games. I prefer games with complex mechanics and relatively fast pace (but my reflexes are not as good as they were, damn age). I tend towards games with medieval or fantasy settings. I also like a good challenge and imaginative worlds to explore.

ActionRPG inspired by Secret of Mana and Zelda

Hell Gates 2 Translation Progress Report 03/17/2018

Hello NeverSilent,

thank you for your encouraging words. Text as pictures is a brutal thing. Of course, over a decade ago I couldn´t imagine that I would someday translate the whole game. Although there is not much choice in some cases due to the RPG Maker limitations. For the pictures, I had to redraw the letters and align them pixel perfect on the screen. Of course, that resulted in the letters being all over the place and having to be moved by hand around the screen. There were some rage-inducing moments in there ;)

The Sequel to Hell Gates is getting an English Translation

Keeping so many websites up-to-date with the latest progress reports is a bit tricky. At least, I posted a blog entry with the last progress reports summarized.

Hi NeverSilent,

that´s a very interesting article you linked there. I have already tried a few of these things, but not all of them. This means that there are a lot of things to try out in the upcoming weeks.

The thing about rpgmaker.net being more of a developer platform is an issue because developers tend to focus on their own game rather than playing the games of other people. But finding a more player-focused website is a challenge.

Hello everybody,

thank you for your kind words. I will give my best to deliver a great English translation.

I was able to fix the format of the blog post. It all collapses and it forgets all the formatting when I try to embed the trailer in the blog post. When I only put in the link to YouTube, it works. Strange...

@NeverSilent: I will upload the English translation to rpgmaker.net when chapter 1 is fully playable. I am still chewing on the system messages and menus. Hell Gates 2 just has sooo many of them.

By the way, does anyone know where and how to promote a game like Hell Gates 2? People keep telling me that I am silly for not doing more promotion. But I am really not good at this kind of stuff.

Hello you two,

yeah the format doesn´t look right on my browser, either. I checked with my other blog posts to see if I did something wrong here, but all looks well in the "edit mode". I then tried to make a new blog post and rewrite the article, but it still looks like that. I am not sure what is wrong here. I will have to fix it somehow.
