Found a Polish swear-word in the game!

... it made me ROTFL big time, when I found that. :mrgreen:

Explanation for non-Polish speaking people: (swearing alert)

huj = penis
(actually the correct word is "chuj", but it doesn't matter - however you pronounce it, it sounds and means the same thing ;))
Anyways, thank you very much for bringing one of my - and many other people's - favorite genres back to live with this wonderful game.
Been a fan until the late 90's of Dungeon Master and Black Crypt and played the heck of them on my trusty Amiga 600.

"Ohuj" backwords spells "Juho"- it's one of the developers of the game! Same to the other writings on the walls.

Hui/huy/huj means exactly the same in Bulgarian. Must be a common Slavic root. Also, I never realized those were the devs' names backwards >.>

Lol, Slavonic languages have more than their fair share of rude combinations of letters, it was bound to happen sooner or later ;)
