Localizing video games into French since 1998 and still having fun doing it + part of a network of indie translators. In our banner, a few games that we translated. **AI-free zone.**
Pinned
20+ years of work on a single picture... All these games, we translated into French with our little fingers. Still, many are not pictured here. Thanks to all the devs and publishers who trusted us over the years.
Woodo hit 1000 verified reviews on Steam, with a 98% positive rate! The game is available in 19 languages with 8 voice-overs.
While @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social was nervous at first to entrust this personal project to outside hands, this shows that localization can be done right!

Behold the Kickmen is an absolutely brilliant game. Not only it is hilarious, but it's a very fun game, capturing the feeling of a time when footbal games were simple and fun (think Pelé's Soccer on the Atari 2600 or the early Sensible Soccer games).

Mon appel aux créateurs JV français : je dois sauver la Bourse Jeux Vidéo d’ici la fin de l’année.

Pour cela, je veux monter en 1 mois, un bundle de jeux vidéo dont les fonds iront à la BJV. Le plus de jeux possibles et trouver comment mettre en place cela de façon optimale.

Pouvez-vous RT svp ?

After all these years, I still have my original PC box, along with those of a few sequels.

Once again, @gbbranstetter.bsky.social does something unique, fresh and different. Go and wishlist Bye Bye Bonnie as soon as you can, and follow their account if you don't.
You can also check out all their previous games, which are all well worth your time.
You control the golf ball from inside using buttons.

Do I spent too much time watching streamers playing Woodo by @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social and @daedalic.bsky.social in French? The answer is "yes"... It's nice seeing them go from "this is so cute" to "the story is heartfelt and funny", to "the gameplay is so satisfying and full of small surprises".

Tiens, un autre jeu qu'on a traduit !
Pas étonnant qu'on soit épuisés. 😅
Quoi de mieux pour entamer cette rentrée que d'enterrer des cadavres ? Les envoyer se battre dans une guerre de zombies et les exploiter pour notre profit, voyons !
Ce 22 septembre prochain sort Graveyard Keeper II, le nouveau jeu de gestion à l'humour noir et au gameplay accrocheur.

Très chouette let's play en français de Woodo.
Merci d'avoir pris le temps de tout écouter et tout lire ! 😀

Merci pour le test et le commentaire sur la localisation. 😀

Depuis ma découverte du podcast Les Odyssées sur @franceinter.fr pendant le confinement, je rêve de travailler avec la talentueuse Laure Grandbesançon.
Ce rêve s'est réalisé grâce au superbe Woodo 🥰 de @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social et @daedalic.bsky.social !

Woodo feels like a 3D coloring book you can touch, a relaxing puzzle-tale told through handcrafted wooden dioramas. A toy for those who never forgot how to be a child.

This is a rather good soundtrack if you're into atmospheric but melodic orchestral instrumental music.
@causewaystudios.com
Lord Winklebottom Investigates soundtrack is also great, with a more jazzy feel.
Today is Bandcamp Friday, so all the purchases you make will go 100% to the artists! 🎶

Some of my music is there, including the soundtrack to @causewaystudios.com The Haunting of Joni Evers. Great opportunity to prepare for the next game!

The Dig OST is, with the Gabriel Knight soundtrack, one of videogame music I go back to regularly, even to this day. Perfect as a background for relaxing, and for creative work.

Just because it is @catbraincell.bsky.social, of course it should be wishlisted!
Hey little kids.

Today we are presenting Bye Bye Bonnie.

A co-op journey up to 4 players where you control a skull like a golf ball using the buttons inside of it.

Please share and wishlist to make these kids* happy!

PSA: Common Scam for Steam devs to be contacted by someone who wants to buy your game. It's their entrypoint to using your Steam approved game to further distribute the scam/malware, since Steam only validates a build by humans once, making it possible to later patch in something malicious.
