Awesome. Cannot wait to see more of this!

This looks lovely.

Bonescape is an exploration and trading game I've been working on: The discovery of a giant, verdant boneyard spurs on a flood of explorers, hunters, homesteaders, outlaws and merchants - and you.

GFM update! Recovery has gone almost as perfectly as it could, but unfortunately, I had to re-open the fundraising because between a partial insurance denial and some frankly ridiculous hospital costs, I'm now looking at over $9000

Congrats, dude!

Mit ner Schaufel?

I have played this almost one year ago and I still keep thinking about it. It's very good.

Could indeed be tricky! Character limits are no fun, but that's sometimes part of the job. Better to avoid them, though (maybe using a different font?)

Sounds like a trap tbh

… Chicken Aggressiveness? Colour me intrigued.

Happy to help!

I know it's the new hip cost cutting thing but let me tell you as someone who worked on a game that got utterly reviewbombed by Chinese players due to the poor quality of the translation

...don't fucking rely on genAI translations. Thank you.

HERDLING releases on August 21 !!🐐🐏

Yep, that's the one.

I cannot stress this enough: working on @tinybookshopgame.com and adding a tiny part to an already masterful translation was such. a. pleasure.
If all translation projects were like that, I'd quit my day job without a second thought.

Happy release day, Tiny Book Shop!

Happy release day to Tiny Book Shop!
@someindie.bsky.social and I worked on the German localisation for this, and I've been a huge fan of this project for years. If you need a game about bookshop management, the value of community and a life beyond capitalisn, this is for you

I'm working on putting Let's Freeze Some Penguins on the Nintendo Switch. #nintendoswitch

Localization: Thomas Faust, Sarah Deville, Lucie Teulieres, Leticia Araujo, Iara Passos, Luke Araujo, Concha Fernandez Alvarez

Let's Freeze Some Penguins is localized into a number of different languages, and that work is done by real humans who know what they're doing!
Of course it was suggested to me that an AI could do the job, and to that I say: No. It clearly can't.

Hello!👋 I'm Laura, English > Italian translator and game localizer. I've been active in this field since 2011, first in-house at Nintendo and afterwards as a freelancer. Here's some of my work. Hit me up with your projects, I'll be available all summer! #PortfolioDay #TranslatorsInTheCredits

Hope all goes well!

And start prepping now. If you treat localization as an aftertought, everybody working on it will be stressed to the max, and sometimes it shows in the finished product.

Seriously though: you want eyes on that cool thing of yours? Make it easy for everyone to play! Cannot afford a full demo translation (probably cheaper than you think, but okay)? At least get a translated cheat sheet with the controls.

If you're an indie dev exhibiting at Gamescom and you want a fancy German translation for your demo build to benefit from the fact that most of the audience will be actual Germans …

1. what are you waiting for?
2. get in touch, I'd be happy to help!

Heya! Great work with Atuel. Love to work on a good game, heh. Hope you're happy with the reception so far.

And also, as always: play more weird narrative stuff. Play more documentary games. Play more short things. They're out there.
