Is it still a 15 year old person writing the quests/characters, or did they fire him?
Still me and my buddy doing all the writing, though (at least for me, since I can only make such statements about myself) this doesn't mean the writing hasn't changed for what most will perceive as better. I'm willing to bet that the reviewers who didn't like Atom's writing will say that Trudograd improved in this regard, at least marginally. Shit, they even say that now, before the brilliant Scott Ham of AoD fame finished editing the texts. Some even congratulate us on firing the shitty writer from the first part :D Little do they know you can't fire a founder! Still, it's all a ruse, I didn't evolve or anything, I just changed my attitude for Trudograd. Whereas I wrote my share of Atom's dialogues in a way I wanted to see them in my ideal game I would personally love to play, I wrote Trudograd with some more mass appeal in mind, I guess. Not as much fun for me, since nobody quotes all star in a random dialogue anymore, but shouldn't scare off certain people like before. Doesn't mean Trudograd is completely devoid of my guilty pleasures, jackofshadows or someone with a similar user name made a whole little gallery of "cringe" moments on Steam, but most assuredly the texts are now much less based around my personal tastes or as you put it seem less like they were "made by a 15 y\o".
Plus, Scott has much more time to work on the English, so it will be much cleaner than Atom on release. He's such a great dude. Everyone should hire him to fix their game.
