Yes, he is a native English speaker.
No, he's not an English major. He writes with improper grammar.
Most Americans have regional dialects based on where we live this however is more likely to be an improper speach patern steming from a poor education level. "May can" is a comon phrase among the lesser educated. Another common double modal is something like “he might could help you” Additional examples of lesser educated speach styles would be something like "them things" instead of those things, or “everything what he told you” instead of everything that he told you.

English is a pain in the butt language. we start it in 1st grade and take it every year for 12 years. Then we graduate and if you go to university We still have to take it again, and if you want to get a degree in it you have to take 4 more years worth.
It's not uncommon for some people to write with the same poor speach paterns that they pick up from the society they are raised in, that's just the way it is...

I do understand that it is anoying, I get it. Personally, I find it extreemly anoying when people interchange "Then" and Than" and say something like "Given the choice I'd rather have chicken then shrimp. I hate shrimp." obviously what they mean is "Given the choice I'd rather have chicken than shrimp." (for those non native speakers who don't understand the difference, the first means you will eat both chicken and shrimp but have a preference in the order they are eaten. the second statement means that if you can choose you want chicken instead of shrimp)

Anyway, I digress... BD is a native English speaker, he just has some bad/wrong speech paterns.
Yeah that makes sense. It kinda bugs me that this stuff irritates me because I really disliked the writing and grammar classes in school. My biggest pet peeve is that for some linguistic reason unknown to me, translating from a certain language (not sure which) causes mixed up pronouns and determiners. "This" where "that" should be or vice versa, and sometimes when there are both men and women as subject/objects they get gender pronouns mixed up. But why do I care? I'm not a writer. I haven't even used a word processor more complex than Notepad in, well, a long time. Why do I still remember these rules and why do I care when they're broken? :/

But I'm also just posting something other than criticizing the dev for their bad record with releases because I'm looking forward to it's arrival. :D

Quick question, is the dev a native english speaker? The technical aspect of the writing usually looks like a native speaker (or at least has a native speaker proofreader) but I've run into a couple weird grammatical things that make me wonder.

This is the second time I've seen "can" used where "be able to" should be. Or "may" shouldn't be in the sentence (or be "maybe" instead.) Either would work but not both. There was also an instance of a double plural but I don't remember the exact context so its hard to explain what I mean by that.
Yeah it's regional dialect from around the Baltimore area.

It's been a while so I was going to ask if this game is still going, but the gifs above have dissuaded me.

I find it always interesting hearing about the struggles native people have with learning their own language.
Our country teaches English as a secondary language in elementary school and children usually adopt it quite effortlessly.
I myself studied it for some time besides actual hard to master languages like German and Russian, and even if I compared old versions of literature like Shakespeare's works to say Goethe, it always felt way easier than any other language, both in understanding and reproducing.
Of course I am old now and maybe just the guy at the fence barking at the useless youth

To be fair, there are a number of memes on the topic of 'the vs. all the different articles the German language has'. And I can well imagine that this can be very challenging for non-native speakers, especially when I see that native speakers already have problems in some cases.

And to be double fair: it is not any critique.
I had classes with children who struggled a lot with English, especially its pronounciation.
It is just an observation that intrigued me, since languages in general were always a hobby for me.
I live in a WG for quite some time now and encountered almost all kinds of people from around the world. And the conversations with them always lead in one way or another to their language, their slang or unique features.
Just fascinating.

Absolutely agree there.

If this doesn't end saying that we are some kind of reincarnation of a sex god then this is just stupid at this point lol
This game is mostly good, but the "time for sleep" stuff like seen in this picture is by far the stupidest shit I've seen in a game.

Like, first off, where tf do you get a bed that big? Second, who tf is comfortable sleeping like that? Not a single girl is thinking "Yea, I'm good. I don't need to sleep with all this body heat".

I know we're meant to suspend reality with these games, but c'mon.

This game has jumped the shark too many times.

Also the whole rework of the game is still the stupidest thing ever. Imagine if your favourite TV show suddenly reworked the 1st 2 seasons again for no reason at all

Don't be shy, speak up, there is help out there.

time to release this update in chunks :ROFLMAO: If i´d still play this trainwreck, i´d be pissed af about this. But his trained monkeys still throw money at him either way.
The logical next step in this case is releasing updates render by render.
