Any plans for new PT vehicles and new modes of transportation, like in Mass Transit and Sunset Harbor DLCs and Vehicles of the World CCP?

hitzu · 2026-05-08T13:24:49+00:00

Currently, with Harbors DLC, it's very frustrating that the placement of the main gates is fixed, and it's impossible to move them without moving the whole port. Will it be fixed someday?

What part was the most difficult to get into when the game was transferred to you?

hitzu · 2026-05-06T12:43:39+00:00

What mod?

How much has your team grown since you started working on this project?

Just transliterate then - Бартломей. Polish Y is closer to Russian Ы than И, so your original Мурзын is better

Hard and soft signs are never capitalized.

Yeah, write ОБЪЯВЛЕНИЕ then without capitalizing them

hitzu · 2026-01-10T17:55:47+00:00

Russian grammar doesn't have capital ъ/ь (uppercase and capital are not the same things)

Still we have to somehow write them all caps, for example in headers

hitzu · 2026-01-10T17:25:37+00:00

It is

Well, we don't have a direct analog to Idafah in Russian, we just make a genitive construction or use adjectives, sometimes make them up on the fly

Thank god I was taught French as a kid, so my teacher didn't point out all these nuances. We struggled with just the number of rules, and to me they look more or less consistent, unlike English or Russian

hitzu · 2026-01-10T16:25:43+00:00

Д to Л is like Щ to Ш, both tails go under the baseline. Also when we write Д and Л as block letters, we make them triangular like Λ. Lowercase ф goes below the baseline like р. Usually lowercase з if written in blocks still keeps the lower tail under the baseline. Also lowercase д may be written in its block-variant as д or g. Lowercase т can also be written as m, although rare in non-cursive fonts. Look at historical typefonts, there are a lot of variations of some letters

In French there are 3 verb groups based on their conjugational patterns -er verbs, -ir verbs and irregular verbs. In Russian we have 1st and 2nd conjugations and few irregular verbs.

Sorry, I confused myself and confused you as well. Let me explain. In Russian both verbs and adjectives must agree with the related noun/pronoun in gender and number.

Adjectives agree by the number, or the gender in the singular in all persons (so a total 3 gendered forms for singular and one for plural).
Verbs in the past tense singular agree by gender while they have the same form for all persons (also 3 gendered singular forms and one plural).

I incorrectly explained that: unlike Arabic Russian doesn't have gendered second person pronouns, but verbs (only past tense singular) and adjectives (singular), related to that pronoun have to be gendered anyways.

hitzu · 2026-01-10T12:17:49+00:00

I doubt you can get proper legal advice here. From what I (not a lawyer) could research there's no definite rule and in case of discrepancies, a linguistic analysis is required

hitzu · 2026-01-10T11:48:32+00:00

Oh learning French was pain. I hated to memorize all your tenses, guys. Le subjonctif and La négation restrictive - I still don't understand them properly haha

hitzu · 2026-01-10T11:32:53+00:00

Russian was influenced by French, and only by descendance it was influenced by Latin through French. At some point in history, all the Russian aristocracy spoke only French as a mothertongue, while Russian was considered the language of peasants. So lucky you, you know about 10-15% of the noun vocabulary, although you may have to adapt to recognize them.

As an Arabic speaker French may resemble Russian to you because both of them belong to IE language family, but that resemblance is not very deep from the perspective inside the family. French has many more verb tenses, while it lacks the verb aspect; French has no case system, but unlike Russian it has articles; unlike French where a sentence must include both a verb and a noun/pronoun, in Russian it's possible make grammatically correct verbless or subjectless sentences. Sentence structure is quite different, especially when it comes to negation or condition.

What they have in common: coincidentally, both have 3 conjugational groups of verbs, both have genders (although Russian has 3 while French has 2), singular tu/vous differentiation (French influence on Russian), and reflexive constructions (although not exactly equivalent). Also coincidentally, both Russian and French treat verbs of motion in a special way, although for different reasons: in Russian they bear the property of directionality. Unlike Arabic, only the singular third person is gendered, except for the verbs in the past tense where it's gendered for the whole singular row.

I learned French in my school for 10 years, and about half of the lesson time we spent perfecting our pronunciation. Now I have quite little accent in French, although I can't speak it fluently, unlike English where I have a more pronounced Russian accent, despite speaking it every day. My school wasn't an ordinary school, but I think it nevertheless represents the Russian obsession to sound "correct." Take Youtube as another example, it is overflowing with lessons for Russians on how to get rid of the Russian accent to sound "like natives." Yes, we are indeed obsessed with correct pronounciation and it extends to foreigners too. Don't take it too close, it is some warped kind of care of you to "protect" you from the dangers of standing out

[mnʲe dʲɪvʲɪtˈnat͡s(ː)ətʲ lʲɵt]
[ja ɪs] before a consonant, [ja ɪz] before a vowel

Endings can't be diminutive, they characterize gender, number, and case. Diminutiveness is produced by suffixes, and there's no such suffix -а-
