From my experience sending press releases as a translator, I want to tell all indie game developers to consider the day you implement languages as a "second launch day" For non-English speaking gamers, the addition of their native language can feel just a new game release. #indiegame #indiegamedev

Portfolio I am a translator. I mainly translate indie games from English to Japanese. In addition to translation, I can also create and send press releases to gaming media, select fonts, edit image files (.psd and .xcf), etc. Please feel free to send me a DM or Discord. #indiegame

Thank you so much @vinicius-marino.bsky.social for this excellent and in-depth analysis of Benign Land! 🙏👌 #BenignLand #gamesasart #indiegame #portoguese #Samhain #mythology #Ireland

So Trump just slapped a 100% tariff on films 'made in foreign lands', seeing them as a 'National Security threat'? 🎬 Wonder how long until he starts throwing tariffs on 'foreign pixels'. 🎮💼 #filmindustry #Hollywood #gamesindustry #films #games #tarrifs #Trump

Benign Land is een door @leandrosntolas.bsky.social ontwikkelde walking simulator waarin spelers dwalen door Ierse mythes, geschiedenis en het collectieve geheugen. #gamedev #indiedev

Benign Land is a unique interactive experience, guiding players through eras in Irish history, “from pagan times to the Troubles”. Created in Unreal Engine 5 and inspired by literary icons such as James Joyce and Seamus Heaney, expect a surreal, artistic journey through time.

Watched Kneecap (2024) yesterday, what a good film! It's great to see difficult subjects like the Northern Ireland conflict being explored in such a fresh way (and not without a good dose of Irish self-deprecating humor!). Highly recommended 💥 #Kneecap #NorthernIreland #Gaelic #Film #Oscars #movies
