Issue:
The loading screen tips contain some errors and inconsistent terminology, and just generally need a copy-edit. They also use some jargon-y community language that will be unfamiliar to the new players who would actually benefit from the tips. They read as if they were written by game developers rather than writers.
Here’s a good example:
ID = “STR_LOADINGSCREEN_TIP_57” ; Str = “Herdables like Sheep and Chicken gather almost as fast as Hunt when upgraded with Husbandry. While running out quickly, they are always preferable to Berries and Farms.”
- There are no Sheep in the game. Presumably this should say Goats. I don’t know if this was written by someone unfamiliar with the game or someone whose primary language isn’t English, or if it was just a careless mistake, but either way, it’s a good sign that all these tips need double-checking.
- Chickens are not herdable in the sense that they can be herded in the game, so that’s confusing.
- Refering to huntable animals as “Hunt” is an example of community jargon that would be grammatically confusing to someone unfamiliar with the term. It’s not an in-game term.
- Berries in-game are called Berry Bushes.
It’s a minor feature of the game, but if the intent is to help new players with basic tips, they should be written with someone with only a basic knowledge of the game in mind.
