LocQuest 🛡️ Ethical Localization

Solo-dev Gagonfe has launched their newest project, Rocket Rats, with the help of LocQuest for localization.

Rocket Rats is a survivors-like game where you defeat cheese-based astral bodies in space – as a rat! LocQuest localized the game into German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Russian.

A quote from Gagonfe, developer: “You guys are so fucking cool! It's awesome to know you approach your work lighthearted and in a fun way. I was honestly tired from people reaching out to me offering their localization services and mentioning AI as a big selling point like "we use AI to bring quality to our work”

🚀🐀 It’s a rat race!

This one sure had us cheesin’. 😊

LocQuest worked with solo dev Gagonfe to localize Rocket Rats into 6 languages.

We’ve been smelling some rats in gaming recently. Luckily, there are still devs out there that care about fair, ethical localization. 🛡️

Solo-dev Anaïs Salla has launched Nom Nom: Cozy Forest Café, with LocQuest taking care of the localization.

Nom Nom: Cozy Forest Café is now LIVE, localized into three languages by the folks here at LocQuest. LocQuest localized the game into French, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.

A quote from Anaïs Salla, developer of Nom Nom: Cozy Forest Café: “After seeing LocQuest's localization work on games I played and enjoyed, I knew I wanted to work with them. They were very easy to work with and did a wonderful job on my game. I highly recommend LocQuest and hope to collaborate with them on future projects.”

LocQuest partnered with solo dev @anaiis.bsky.social for an ethical localization that is ✨so✨ kawaii.
