February Update


Binkmeister

514 views

A few bits of stuff here and there, in no particular order.

  • Several local languages of BIONICLE.com have been updated (French, German, Czech, Russian, Hungarian, Polish), with more coming soon (including Spanish and Portuguese)
  • I read the movie script and provided feedback. I'm pleased that my comments are being passed on... I may have some small affect on how the movie comes out! :)
  • Getting ready for upcoming projects. As soon as I finish the local site updates, I get to move into creating specifications for mid-year updates. (Yes, that's being started arleady.)
  • I'll be in Raleigh, NC for a few days in early March for market research. I'll get to hang with Greg, if he's not too busy, and others from the Enfield team.
  • Getting ready to release the next game on BIONICLE.com, hopefully Monday or Tuesday. It's different from the one on BIONICLEbattle.com.
  • I've been talking with some of the BIONICLE set designers, and I've gotten to give suggestions on color schemes for sets. Not that they will actually use them, but it's a hoot to be able to give my suggestions.
  • Finished creating new "rewards" for upcoming online games. More prototypes, sketches, and CAD renderings. They turned out very nice, IMHO.
  • Next Friday I'll be in Nuremburg, Germany for Toy Fair. Just for the day. Despite being invited to the last 5 years' worth of NY Toy Fair events, I've never actually attended one. I'm looking forward to being part of it.
As always, there's lots of stuff in the pipeline that I can't talk about, but these are a few of the highlights I can share.

So, Spanish Web is coming soon? I'm dying to see how will that look like. Woah! Lucky me! I'm on holiday tomorrow and past tomorrow! Looking forward to that Antroz game. :) And those rewards... When are we going to see them, For summer season or for Phantoka season?

 

PS: 'Bout Toyfair... Could you post Summer sets images if possible? :P

PS2 (:P): If you have any trouble while doing the Spanish version, I can help you if needed. :)

I am glad you have finished some other sites. However, you have done some mistakes...I have PMed them to you. ;)

Also, will you be in the ToyFair 2009 of Nuremburg? Because I will be there then...

I'm glad we have you to serve as the connection between us and LEGO. Our opinions finally have a chance at influencing something!

Nuremburg is too far for me. :( Do you like Italy? :)

Mmh your job seems pretty good now, isn't it?

I believe there is no Toy-Fair in Italy, Kaxix. :(

Do you know that Russian version of site (and the movie too) consists of grammatical, orphographic and other kinds of mistakes and overall level of translation is quite low? Can all of them be corrected?

Yes, I know but there are other things. :)

If by color scheme suggestions, you mean less gray/silver in Toa sets, I'm all for that. Oh wait, that's not what you said...:P Anyway, that's just insanely awesome that you get to provide feedback from everything to the sets to the movie...:D

I don't think Bink himself is responsible for the translations of bionicle.de but I have also put up an entry on this in my own Blog. Maybe you wanna check it out and pass it on to the translators.

 

Wish you a nice trip to Germany. Hope you'll like it there.

Do you know who made the Polish translation? I ask because it's... just horrible! Many things are completely wrong, like the site header (the one that shows at top of the window with the icon of webbrowser) which reads "BIONICLE - Oficjalny BIONICLE strona", though it should be "BIONICLE - Oficjalna Strona BIONICLE". There are too many gramatical (and other) errors.

I would PM Bink if I where you about the errors.

And I hope the game will be up on Monday.
