StarQuest: german to english translation project WIP
Posted: May 24th, 2024, 1:27 pmSo I've finally begun work once again on this, hoping to have something to show for it by the time of GenCon...
First task was to scan the cards I had in high quality and clean them up a little (while still retaining some charm of the "used" cards), while blanking them out in prep for adding the english text. Not perfect, but I think they will look fine when printed on US game deck size (imagining what they would have looked like had the game been released in the US circa 1991).
My plan is to copy and paste the image onto the generic card and overlay the text. But it will be something unique since StarQuest in Germany was kind of its own thing and thus differs from the english Space Crusade many more will be familiar with, even if the play mechanics are identical (the "Devastator" was clarified as a Plasma gun in this version that's the only update I've seen).
