The deities of the flea market smiled upon me yesterday. All of this for 8€? What a haul.

Here's the official revel trailer for Ithaca, our road-trip RPG about climate resistance. The world is burning. There’s a hostage in your trunk. How far will you go? If you'd like to play this one day, please consider backing the project on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ith...

Happy Alruna launch day, everyone. Did some translating for this. It was fun!

New @emmaruthrundle.bsky.social album! emmaruthrundle.bandcamp.com/album/these-...

Encountered the unholy trinity in my current translation project: - one character who talks in limericks - one character who talks in haiku - one character who talks like the Beas- tie- BOYS!

I made a spiritual followup to the Eastshade postmortem video (which went a bit viral) in celebration of our big demo day! youtu.be/0D9HnCZdq2k

All localized text is reviewed by ... the developer? Well I guess that's fine, then. (It's not.)

@rainersigl.bsky.social Hey! 4 Tage Wien im Sommer - was muss ich da unbedingt sehen?

To anybody who happens to play games in French or Spanish (or other heavily gendered languages): How does an NPC typically address gender of player avatar? Like in an RPG where you pick gender, do NPCs use gendered adjectives, or do they sort of weasel around it? And is it strange for players?

MIDNIGHT IN BABYLON, the first episode of AZATHOTH BLUES, is now out on all major podcast platforms, including Spotify. A dark journey into paranoia, conspiracy, murder & ritual. How do you fight back in a world that seems increasingly insane?

I found the ep in PLURIBUS where Carol--white, American--meets 5 non-white, non-American survivors of the hivemind off-putting, but in a way that made me curious to see where Gilligan was going. Now that I have, I wrote about how empire, privilege, genAI, & resistance converge in the show's subtext:

Ah yes, of course.

we’ve got somewhere to stay after the fucking place flooded again, just a room tho, I’ve just managed to pack the bare minimum and I’m skint beyond words. I am so sorry, this has all gone to shit. Can anyone help with emergency survival funds? www.paypal.com/paypalme/ret... ko-fi.com/robfearon

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

Do I know anyone here who speaks French? I'm looking for an old fashioned, colloquial word or phrase that translates to "troublemakers". Something you'd call a group of schoolgirls that are very clever about pulling pranks. Along the lines of rascals, scamps, misfits, etc. Thank you!

Die or Die, by @aonorte.com is on the front page of @kotaku.com! Let's hope it will help put this fun game in the spotlight. You can currently play the demo on Steam in English, Spanish, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, and French. Lots of other great games on that list too!

Virtue's Heaven has finally reached the 10 review threshold and to both celebrate and potentially capitalize on the (marginal and temporary) boost in visibility, I've put the game on sale for this week! store.steampowered.com/app/1929860/...

Here's the reason why you see so many people beg for reviews on Steam. Virtue's Heaven got past 10 reviews this weekend and suddenly the amount of page views tripled, mostly because the game started to show up in people's discovery queues.

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. 🦴 zarkonnen.com/bonescape

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 #transsupport #supporttransmen #transhealthcare gofund.me/44e711c83

Can highly recommend. Check out @uncannymagazine.bsky.social

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

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 !!🐐🐏

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

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. #indiegame #gamedev

Apple is delisting Wheels of Aurelia from the App Store, because it's... "obsolete". Our statement:

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

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!

Happy to report that I did some translating for Atuel, which, for the record, was a total pleasure. Go play the game, it is worth experiencing (and won't cost you anything but 30 minutes of your day).

Eyyyy your boy is looking for projects! #commission #art #mecha

@maschimensch.bsky.social huch, was ist denn da schiefgelaufen?

Seems like my brain is broken and I cannot finish that last mission, but: Tactical Breach Wizards. What a gem.

Can confirm. Someone complimented my translation of Dicey Dungeons recently and that got me through a really bad week. It's easy and free, folks!

I'm excited to officially announce CROWNBREAKERS, my new deck-building roguelike #indiegames that has you fight back against demonic billionaires! To celebrate, check out the announcement trailer! youtu.be/Bypf6pKX2rI

The German Games Industry Association (game) still refuses to acknowledge that the recently appointed minister responsible for the local games industry, Dorothee Bär, openly demands to deny queer people equal rights...
