At last the pixel mills lie quiescent, the audio processors are purring
contentedly, and Douglas Adams has been cornered between travels to wave his
arms at our new German audience. Out in the bye-ways of Covent Garden, our
dedicated translation team has been whisking unsuspecting German students
and tourists off the street to aid in the Beta test campaign.
Meanwhile, in
the basement, our cryptographic experts have at last discovered the means to
disarm the German version of the Bomb. The final pieces fall into place.
Work continues apace on the German dialogue engine, with the Bots becoming
more chatty with each passing day - we fully expect them to be more
conversational and better informed than their English counterparts.
Apart
from a few licks of paint and a good solid bit of testing, Raumschiff
Titanic is almost ready to sail.
