Astral Chain - devblog: Localizing Lappy
Hi! I’m John Neal from the localization team here at PlatinumGames. Though I’d helped out on several PG projects before, with ASTRAL CHAIN, I had my first opportunity to step up as localization lead.
Making sure the game gets translated is a big part of that job, but localization tasks go beyond just translating text. At PlatinumGames, our loc team works directly with the directors, designers and artists to help make sure their creative vision gets across clearly, accurately and – most importantly of all – enjoyably to players all over the world.
If I may, I’d like to share a look at a few parts of the localization process. And luckily, the breakout secret star of the game provides a great example.
