In Spanish we’re used to saying “Me cago en Dios” (literally I shit on God). It would be interesting to know if other languages address God or the Saints while swearing, apart from Italian and Spanish.

very interesting…

Wait a second… can I make his catch phrase “I sh*t on God”?

No… too vulgar… I need something milder…

for the same reason I can’t say “f*ck you, God”, as I saw in South Park the movie I think… too vulgar… I need something like that, but without naughty words…

God damn isn’t really something you say in polite company. But I think a stereotypical “redneck” would change it to “dang” because they wouldn’t say damn.

How about “kiss my grits”?

Doesn’t “Damn you, God” fit that bill? It’s exactly the same as “Fuck you, God” except Americans have a rather peculiar relationship with the word fuck.

It’s probably the best compromise… yes… I think I’ll pick that one, for now.

I’m not capable of judging how it sounds… (the usual problem :))
Probably I was wrong in asking something that reveals illiteracy… I need to rethink what I want , and why it works in Italian :slight_smile:

How about “(I’ll) suck you, <name>!” ?
He’s a vampire after all, so that’s what he does to people and even saints and gods…

It really might work!
I’ll let it sink a bit…
thanks

Or just shorter and more powerful:
“Suck God!”
“Suck the saints!”
“Suck you!”
:vampire:

Exactly! I like it!

And what about “mothersucker” in addition to those?

a question: how does “blast” sound? in place of “damn”

“blast God and the Angels”

I think it’s more polite, and is more or less equivalent to “mannaggia” in italian.

I need in particular the final swear, when Dracula (temporarily) turns to dust.
what should he scream when he realizes he’s been fooled and he’s turning to dust?

“Mothersuckeeeeer”
or
“Blast God and all the angeeee…”
?

That’s the funnier one

Or even better: in plural: “Mothersuckeeeeers!”

Or just calmly: “ow, suck me…”

Note: the only-one-letter-difference is going to give you heaps of troubles with age ratings, for sure.

I have half-decided to make an (optional ) censored version, because there are themes that are unfit for children anyway…

Like , say, the priest … “goodbye, father” “I’m not your father, you’ve been ill informed”
“goodbye, father” “I’m not your father. Or, if I am, don’t tell anyone”

there are dozens of jokes like this. I want my 7 year old daughter to play the game, so… many jones will be lost, but at least you can play with your kid.

YOU are the crazy visionary that suggested it. I’m a mere executer. But I’m proud of what came out.

Now, if we could attach a dynamo to Wagner’s grave…

current progress:

if I wanted, with 3 days work (writing some missing dialogues and translating) I could make you all play part 1… (without cutscene illustrations…)

But I prefer to move on to illustrating part 2… and give you a polished thing in a few months :slight_smile:
