I joined this Open Source project 2014-08-29 to translate game to Finnish, for making it easier for friend family kid to play.

Current status at 2016-05-20:

  • I am core committer on this project, with direct git repo access and voting rights

  • I have translated game to Finnish, all strings that are translateable, rest of the English-hardcoded strings will be made translateable later.

  • Original black-and-white website was coded by Quintus, project lead developer, using nanoc Ruby-based static website compiler. For new 2.0 release of game, at 2015-06-04, head8debian made single page visual design of new website, and I (xet7) modified nanoc code so all pages of new website used the new visual design, using Ruby/HTML/CSS/JS. You can see website code changes at https://github.com/Secretchronicles/main-website and numerous fixed issues in visual look, code and browser compatibility at https://github.com/Secretchronicles/main-website/issues . I also translated website to Finnish.

  • At 2015-09, I did run Coverity Scan on game C++ sourcecode bugs, some of them are now fixed

  • We released new 2.0.0 version of game at 2015-08-17 http://www.secretchronicles.de/en/news/2015/08/17/2/ (English) and http://www.secretchronicles.de/fi/news/2015/08/17/2/ (Finnish)

  • At 2015-10-20, we had problem with Python-based wiki software called moinmoin taking too much resources on server, so I created static website version of wiki, added same visual look as elsewhere at website, and disabled moinmoin. We will look later what less resource demanding wiki software to use.

  • Currently game works on Linux and Windows, and we are focused on changing game C++ code to use SFML http://www.sfml-dev.org to fix many bugs and make game more portable to other operating systems.
