Dreamagination

Apparently the download numbers for the latest translation of Dirty Split have exceeded traffic expectations, which is why the Dreamagination server is having problems right now. I’m sorry for the inconvenience and the problems will be resolved shortly.

It’s time to keep the promise: The Spanish version of Dirty Split is now available for download. All my gratitude goes to Jose for his great work and the effort he put into it despite a few obstacles.

It’s also time to announce an Italian version which is to be released soon. I’ll write more about that next time :o)

Our future game projects have been in development for quite a while now - there will be more to see when the time is right of course. What’s very new is our foray into the world of animated short filmes. Here’s a quick taste of what you can expect in the near future:

The work on Dirty Split hasn’t finished either: Jose Antonio Velasco Prieto is very involved with the Spanish translation that will soon be available for download. Jose is also one of the developers behind ‘El Amuleto de Monkey Island’, a really promising fan sequel to - who would have guessed - Monkey Island.

As promised there’s a Czech version of Dirty Split available now. I’d like to thank Pavel Hejn again for his work, as well as Veronika from http://perlagroup.phorum.cz/, even though I’ll have to decline her offer to re-dub the game due to time restrictions. I’d also like to thank Marcel Feig from spiele-umsonst.de who is always quick at hand with a mirror.

And now have fun! :o)

One of last year’s most important events to me was the release of Dirty Split, and I’d like to say thank you for all the nice words and comments and the great feedback. It’s still amazing how many people enjoyed this game, and I’m very happy that so many of them shared their reactions with me personally. The amount of positive feedback simply exceeded any of my expectations and set a clear direction for future games. The next projects have been in development for a whiile now, and soon there will be more about them here. For now let me say thanks to every one of you.

Thanks to the kind support of Marc Denizot there’s a little New Year’s surprise: Dirty Split is available in French now, so all of you Francophiles who’d prefer to play the game in their native language can do so now (see the download page). Very soon there will also be a Czech version thanks to Pavel Hejn and his wife.

And now: Good luck, and may all your wishes come true and may you stick to all your New Year’s resolutions :o)

Good news for everyone: Dirty Split is now available in English, too! About a month after the release of the German version you English-speaking folks can finally enjoy Baxter’s adventures. And I do hope you’ll enjoy them, so have fun (and don’t forget to tell me about it!).

Once again, I’d like to thank everyone involved in this project, this time most importantly the English voice cast. You’ve all done a great job. And it was a pleasure working with each and every one of you :o)

Two weeks after the release and several thousand downloads later I’m still overwhelmed by all the positive feedback to Dirty Split. I never expected such a fantastic response, and I’m really thrilled about every comment and every email. What puzzles me most is the fact that there hasn’t been a single negative reply so far, and that I’ve only received constructive criticism which I’m happy to read and think about. Many of you have been asking for a follow-up game, regardless of whether that will be a Dirty Split 2 or something entirely different. I’m really excited about this demand - and don’t worry, there’s something in the making already.

So I’d like to thank each and every one of you :o)

For everyone who liked the jazzy, loungy soundtrack from the game, here’s a special treat for you: On the download page you can find the entire album with 18 tracks from the game plus 3 bonus tracks. Completely free of charge, of course.

Have fun!

Here it is: Dirty Split in all its glory. See the download page for details.
(The English version will soon follow.)

I’d also like to thank Dominic Wienand for putting up the first mirror servers. If there’s anyone else with a bit of space on his server, please contact me!

Enjoy! And I hope for lots of feedback :o)

Here it is… the intro sequence to Dirty Split. Enjoy!

Mal was deutsches:

Jemand hat mir nahegelegt, daß es keine deutsche Version dieser Webseite gibt. Das ist möglicherweise unfair für das deutschsprachige Publikum, und darüber hinaus unfair für das Spiel selbst, besonders da die deutsche Version mit so viel Aufwand und professionellen Sprechern produziert wurde.

Macht Sinn. Wie man sehen kann, habe ich mal für die wichtigsten Stellen der Seite eine alternative deutsche Übersetzung bereitgestellt. Auf die Weise sollten sich auch all diejenigen nicht mehr verlaufen, die mit dem Englischen an sich auf Kriegsfuß stehen. ;o)

Ich poste allerdings weiterhin auf Englisch, bis ich einen zwingenden Grund sehe, das zu ändern. Ich bin nämlich immer noch gespannt, woher denn nun der Großteil des Publikums stammen wird und welche Nationalitäten die Download-Statistiken beherrschen werden :o)

And in English:

Somebody noted that there’s no German version of this website. That might be unfair for the German audience and unfair for the game itself, especially since the German version has been produced with such a high production value in terms of professional voice actors.

Makes sense. As you can see, I’ve provided an alternative German translation for the most important portions of the site. This way, even all those who are at war with English in general shouldn’t get lost anymore. ;o)

I’ll keep posting in English, though, unless I ever see an important reason to change that. Actually, I’m very curious to find out where the major part of the audience is coming from and which nationality will be featured most in the download statistics :o)
