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.**

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.

Though we only coordinated 9 of the languages (French, Spanish, Latin-American Spanish, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish and Czech), here are the full credits for all languages.

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).

BEHOLD THE KICKMEN is only 69p, the sexiest number of p you can get! At that price, blag a quick copy and try to kiss the villain. Don't ask me how, I've forgotten. store.steampowered.com/app/529440/B...

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.

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

Merci @florencetwitch.bsky.social pour ce très chouette stream de Woodo en français. J'espère que tu auras l'occasion d'aller jusqu'au bout, je trouve que ça en vaut le coup. 😀 Et je ne suis paaaas du tout jaloux de peluches. Pas du tout. Non non. www.twitch.tv/videos/28765...

twitch.tvBonjouuur ☀️ Cozy game en ce jeudi après-midi, avec la découverte du très mignon WOODO | !woodo | Collaboration commerciale - florence on Twitchflorence went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Just Chatting VOD now.

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.

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

Envie de vous détendre après une longue journée de travail ? Woodo est certainement un puzzle-game à ne pas négliger notamment grâce à sa direction artistique si attachante 😍

It's almost here! Woodo releases soon, and I can't wait to play more of this 3D coloring book meets puzzle game. The wooden blocks bring me right back to the toys I played with as a kid! Check it out on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1 + 2 when it releases September 16th.

This one has been a long time coming! Can't wait to play it in full, the demo was really intriguing and left me wanting for more.

📣Announcement: we finally set a release date for our game. 🤗 #TheDollShop will come on October 12! Right in time for #Halloween season! 🎃 Wishlist on Steam to stay tuned >> store.steampowered.com/app/3851680/... #visualnovel #indiegame #gamedev #horrorgame

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.

Gustavo Coutinho@abrasounds.bsky.social

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! 50% off with the code: itsfriday abrasounds.bandcamp.com

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.

You might have already heard the news – Woodo has a release date! Next month, you'll finally be able to accompany Foxy on her journey when the game launches on September 16th. On top of that, we've just released a new video featuring the 8 (!) talented voice actors behind Foxy.

Soudain un narrateur décrit votre vie et il n'y a aucun moyen de l'éteindre - tout le monde peut l'entendre. Pendant les courses, au travail, à la maison, avec des amis - la voix continue de raconter chaque geste. Quelle voix choisissez-vous ? Moi : Pierre Hatet ou Roger Carel.
