releasing a videogame is intensive, collaborative work. Hundreds of people shape it over the course of development. Localisers are a part of that process, but not the only part - there are a whole host of things that can impact the final text. (Thread)

Heyo!
The loc team I assembled and presided over for this project were the ideal folks for it. They all did a phenomenal job at bringing B-Project's vibrant cast to life, and I can't wait for joseimuke fans and general visual novel readers alike to check it out their hard work.

🙄 a policy like this being implemented in my workplace would be no different to redundancy. Remote and/or flexible work arrangements aren’t just a preference for people with complex health conditions or neurodivergent folks - they’re a necessity.
NEW: Rockstar Games is asking all of its employees to return to the office five days a week starting in April for security and productivity reasons as they enter the final stretch of development on Grand Theft Auto VI. (Employees are not thrilled.)

Hello world!
Hatch is underway! Here’s a little duckling snoot through the safety hole. They’ll be hanging out in there while they absorb the blood and yolk from inside the egg. So crazy to incubate these eggs for 35 days from a bunch of cells and a few veins to fully formed ducklings 🥹

Localising a game is a massive honour but it can also prove to be a huge burden. Gamers can be so unpleasant on the internet sometimes. PLEASE remember to always be respectful of people and situations that you don’t fully understand - there’s a lot going on under the surface.

TLDR; publishing localisations takes a lot of work, and comes with a degree of compromise. It’s technical work, it’s creative work, it necessitates endurance and precision and care. Projects can change overnight. Stop harassing localisers for doing their jobs.

I’ve been a localiser, I’ve been an editor, and now I work in production. BY FAR the most thankless job is localisation. You have all the visibility and none of the control over the final product. Sometimes people change things and you only find out on release.

a lot to unpack here. the devs have clearly stated that the quotes they got for translation aren't financially viable for them, so they'd be losing money by commissioning translations. 🧵
FAN TRANSLATION MODTOOL
We've launched a modtool for "Monster Camp" that allows for people to individually or collectivelly make fan translations for the game.
We've also created a channel in our Discord server for anyone interested in teaming up for specific languages!
