Steam Version Heileen 2 Grammar/Typos

Post by Miakoda »

This thread will be for the Steam version of Heileen 2.


Also, as there is actual voice on some of the dialogue, I won't suggest too many changes in that case, though there is one instance where the voice dialogue is correct, and the written can be changed (it's noted below).

Original:
Heileen
Hey, Ebele, these fruit are really good!

Suggestion:
Add add 's' to fruit to get:
Hey, Ebele, these fruits are really good!

Original:
Heileen
I take a handfull of berries and eat them. They're so juicy and full of flavor!

Suggestion:
'handfull' should only have one 'l' for 'handful' and get:
I take a handful of berries and eat them. They're so juicy and full of flavor!

Original:
He's got short blonde hairs and bright green eyes.

Suggestion:
'hairs' should be singular in this case, referring to his head of hair:
He's got short blond hair and bright green eyes.

Original:
She grabs the biscuits and starts to eat it. She looks at me with her deep brown eyes while she eats...and I can almost read her mind.

Suggestion:
Ebele has green eyes, so change 'brown' to 'green':
She looks at me with her deep green eyes while she eats...

original:
I think we are friend again now.

Suggestion:
'friend' should be 'friends':
I think we are friends again now.

Original:
I stare in horror and she procures a long, thin rod.

Suggestion:
I would change the 'and' to 'as' It would flow better.
I stare in horror as she procures a long, thin rod.

Original:
Sister Anna
<whispering to Marie>I apologize for trying to make an example of you.

Suggestion:
Given the font use, I would put a space between the 'Marie>' and the 'I' to look:
<whispering to Marie> I apologize for trying to make an example of you.

Original:
Marie:
I told you, it's map!

Suggestion:
there should be an 'a' before 'map!'. Also, the talking mentions 'a' as well:
I told you, it's a map!

Original:
I place the map on the ground and look it from a distance to have a better overall view. Interesting...

Suggestion:
Put 'at' after 'look' to get:
I place the map on the ground look at it from a distance to have a better overall view. Interesting...

Original:
I must find courage, gather my inner strength and go on. Live the life to the fullest, no matter what. Even in a desperate situation like...

Suggestion:
Either drop 'the' before 'life', or change it to 'my'. It sounds better either way like:
I must find courage, gather my inner strength and go on. Live life to the fullest, no matter what. Even in a desperate situation like...

Sorry I haven't finished this. I was a lot more busy than planned. However, I don't foresee any problem knocking this out today and tomorrow.

Original:
Jack!? Dressed as woodcutter? This is going to be a terrible dream...

Suggestion:
Put an 'a' before 'woodcutter' to get:
Jack!? Dressed as a woodcutter?


Original
This is another case where the spoken doesn't match the writing. The original appears:
If I were in you, I would obey him!

Suggestion:
The spoken part drops the 'in', and I'd recommend doing so for the written part. This will make both match and get:
If I were you, I would obey him!


Original:
I start looking around. Ugh what a horrid dream...I want to wake up now...

Suggestion:
I'd put a comma after 'Ugh' to get:
I start looking around. Ugh, what a horrid dream...I want to wake up now...


Original:
I have mixed feelings inside. I want to cry, but I'm terrified of what he might do to me! And at same time, I don't want to give up even if I AM really tired...

Suggestion:
Put a 'the' before 'same' to get:
And at the same time, I don't want to give up even if I AM really tired...


Original:
Suddenly I feel a strange heaviness in my chest. Just thinking about searching for those cards seems a unbearable weight for me.

Suggestion:
Change the 'a' before 'unbearable to 'an' to get:
Just thinking about searching for those cards seems an unbearable weight for me.

Original:
Heileen
Oh well, I was tired of playing with them anyway. Let's go down at the beach.

Suggestion:
Turn the 'at' to 'to' after 'down' and get:
Oh well, I was tired of playing with them anyway. Let's go down to the beach.


Original:
Heileen
Yes please! Thank you.

Suggestion:
Put a comma after 'Yes'.


Original:
Heileen
Look Ja--umm, Father...how much wood I have collected.

Suggestion:
Put an 'at' before 'how' to get:
Look Ja--umm, Father...at how much wood I have collected.


Original:
Heileen
What it is?

Suggestion:
Rerrange it to get:
What is it?


Original:
Another case where the written doesn't match the audio.
Ebele:
I foudn this book on shore a few days ago...I don't wanted to show you! But it is not fair, you must know...

Suggestion:
Simply change 'wanted' to 'want', and it will match the audio.

Original:
I gather up my things quickly to leave, turning before she can see the tears forming in my eyes as well.

Suggestion:
I'd recommend putting 'quickly' before 'gather'. At least for me, the flow seems to go better:
I quickly gather up my things to leave, turning before she can see the tears forming in my eyes as well.


Original:
As I run from the house, the tears being to flow freer and faster.

Suggestion:
'being' should be 'begin':
As I run from the house, the tears begin to flow freer and faster.


Original:
I wish she should learn some HUMILITY.

Suggestion:
Based on the context of the sentence, change 'should' to 'would':

Ebele is still in shock, so Robert carries her in his arm. Incredible, he lifts her so easily...like she weights nothing.

Suggestion:
I think 'arm' should be 'arms, and I'd recommend changing 'Incredible' to 'Incredibly' and 'weights' to 'weighs' to get:
Ebele is still in shock, so Robert carries her in his arms. Incredibly, he lifts her so easily...like she weighs nothing.


Original:
I gently push her away and look into her eyes. She kisses me on the cheecks several times.

Suggestion:
'cheecks' is a misspelling and should be 'cheeks'

Original:
As he does so, the bag slips from his fingers and crashes to the ground. An explosion of golden coins attracts the nearby beggars. They descent on the coins like bees on honey!

Suggestion:
'descent' is a noun, and you want the verb 'descend' to get:

Original:
Heileen
I...sorry...

Suggestion:
I'd recommend making 'I' into "I'm"
I'm...sorry...


Original:
This is another case of making the written match the audio. It originally looks like:
Otto
Especially now that we have also Robert and Ebele to feed...

Suggestion:
Drop the 'also' and the written will match the audio.

Original:
Audio matching time again. Original is:
Otto
And now what I should do!

Suggestion:
Put the 'I' after 'should' and it will match the audio. Also, you might want to change the punctuation to a question mark.
And now what should I do?

Original:

Suggestion:
Just a hyphen between the 'bye's:
Bye-bye.

Suggestion:
I would plut an 'and' after hand:

Original:
Heileen
Yaawn! What, what a dream...

Suggestion:
I'd recommend changing the comma to an ellipsis. This would suggest she is waking up a bit more and her repitition is due to that.
Yawn! What...what a dream...

Original:
Elias

Original:
Black

Suggestion:
To match the audio, you need to put an 'all' before 'about:

Suggestion:
Make it an "I'm" instead of "I":
I'm freezing...

Original:

You...didn't mean to lick the chocolate from my feet, didn't you?

Suggestion:
It is a bit nuanced, but the 'didn't' before 'you' at the end should be 'did'.

Okay, I'm pretty much done with Heileen 2. Above are the various typos/grammar issues you may want to look at.

As I mentioned elsewhere, everything else is stable with the game (at least for me), and I did get every achievement with the Steam Build.

The only other recommendation I have is if you get a few minutes, the 'colored last save' is nice to have :)

It's fixed now. :)

One minor thing, and it may not be fixable, but if you left click on an inactive tarot card, it keeps the writing there, which gets to be a messy if you touch another card then. Not a game breaker, or anything,
