Delighted to announce that we were involved in localising classic JRPG Chrono Cross into French, Italian, German and Spanish, and making the unique beast that is Radical Dreamers a reality in English and the same four languages as well. It's an experience!
As you know, we love our obscure indie passion projects here at Shloc, and today sees the release of what might be our best one yet—a little gem of a game called "FINAL FANTASY XVI". 1/2

Of all the things we ever had to keep quiet about our involvement in, this was the hardest. But it's out, and a good few team-wide life goals have been fulfilled. 1 zillion thanks to

@KojiPro2015_EN

Hey, so remember that game we worked on that was massive? Well, they made it even massiver, and now it's on Switch, which means you can play it on the BUS and on the TRAIN and on the TOILET. I think you know what to do.

is here! As Dragon Quest lovers, it was a joy to work with Square Enix on the EN/FR/IT/DE/ES versions of the game. So if you think you have what it takes to become the Master of Monsterkind, you'd best get ready to wrangle! ⚔️🐉
Shut the blinds, cancel your appointments, and avoid all spoilers—FINAL FANTASY® VII REBIRTH is out today! Thank you to
@SquareEnix
for allowing us to edit the EN, FR, IT, DE and ES versions. It was an honour!

If you've ever dreamed of being a dog, saving mankind, or both, then we can heartily recommend Humanity, which is out today. Big thanks to Enhance for letting us work on the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish versions of the game!

Always good to know that people take notice of this stuff. Lord knows we put a lot into making our mermaid romances and possibly-orphaned shopkeepers as tragic as possible.

Huge thanks to Michael-Christopher Koji Fox for inviting us to work with him and John Taylor on the EN script, and for entrusting us with performance direction, alongside the brilliant

Massive and unforgivable professional oversight announcement: in the whirlwind of what-not that's been going on, we managed to miss the Switch remaster of one of our all-time best things we worked on.
Congratulations to team SIDE-ERRR on winning the 2019 Shloc Christmas Quiz! Who knew that Guy Pearce played Mike Young in Neighbours!? THEY DID! Thanks to everyone for coming, and see you all next year. Merry Christmas!
We’re excited to report that Shores Unknown has made it to early access! () Well done to our friends at Valynne (

It's Dragon Quest Day, and what better way to celebrate than with the new mobile version of DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS? We had fun helping out with all manner of languages, and hope you'll love the game as much as we do! Happy building!
#DragonQuestDay
Amid the pre-Christmas rush, we neglected to shout about the release of CRISIS CORE –FINAL FANTASY VII– REUNION! It was our honor to contribute to the French, German, Italian and Spanish versions, so if you've yet to play the game, make it your Christmas treat. You deserve it.
It came out a good three days ago now, but if you have a PC or an Xbox, and/or an Xbox Game Pass, you must immediately (three days ago) play this: Even 2020 can't spoil it*.
#DQXI
Some fine names in this list. After careful consideration, we’ll be voting for

Stand-up comedy performed by Welsh fairies, 50s Americana, Ghibli cutscenes and, if I remember correctly, Spice Girls references. It's Ni No Kuni, and I still love it fiercely, and I hope we can be forgiven for not shouting about it from the rooftops sooner.
Huge congratulations to
@ralphineson
and
@finalfantasyxvi
on being nominated for this year's
@BAFTAGames
Awards. We'll be rooting for Ralph and the team in the Performer in a Supporting Role, Narrative, Artistic Achievement and Technical Achievement categories come April 11th!⭐️
If you fancy spending some time in a dystopian world of enforced isolation...you're in luck! Also, you should play the PC version of Death Stranding.

We've never been prouder of an item name than NNK2's jazz egg, so when it turned out you could eat them for real (give or take a letter or two), we settled in with 20 bags apiece and had the happiest Easter of all time.
