English words

[Laurens]

Hello,

 

Not being a native english speaker I am tripping over some definitions of which I am not sure they mean the same in dutch as they do in english. The definitions I am speaking of are:

 

- Money you have readily available on the bank: funds

- A certain physical object worth money to the owner: an asset

 

I am asking because of the economical aspect in my game

 

Thanks!

You have to remember that most people don't know english very well either, so better keep the words simple

Normally in games those things you mention are called: Bank and Item. For example:

Bank: 1p 35g 12s 43c

Item: sells for 4g 5s

Fund & Asset are correct, but like Lumooja said it's probably best to keep it simple. Who knows, maybe a 5 year old will be playing your game and he probably won't know asset.

Thanks

 

What you both are saying makes sense. I'll have to give it some more thought though. I have not yet clearly defined my target group. Thinking about it, I should do so before working out anything else as it makes a pretty big impact.
