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.

No localization (yet?), but still a great news for any Into The Emberlands fan (and I am one). 🥰

I'll never say enough how much I loved both playing and translating Into The Emberlands. Clever and fun game mecanics, brilliant sense of humor, cozy visuals, all that for a very reasonable price. Can't wait to see what's coming next.

We’re hosting a Hello Sunshine dev stream on Discord! Join the team for a very early look at the game 🌞

Watch here: discord.gg/jz35syz8?eve...

It’s pre-alpha, so everything you see is subject to change (or break 👀), but we’re excited to share how things are going.

If you have a word game itch to scratch, you could do worse than trying Cursed Words free playtest. What starts as a fairly simple, but highly polished Boggle-type game soon veers toward uncharted territories that will melt your mind, but in a good way. 😁

Cursed Words on Steam
From letters to lunacy, Cursed Words is a roguelike chasing ever-stronger synergies. Start with simple words like BUY or THIS or GAME, then use game-altering combos to break the rules. Before long you...

Oddly enough, the first two Star Wars Racer games were not localized into French. But I remember spending so much time playing the first one that I begged Ubisoft to let us translate Racer Revenge (even though only the manual needed to be localized). Exciting to see a new Racer game in the works!

Get ready for STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™.

A high-stakes form of racing is born in the Outer Rim. The Galactic League is an unsanctioned circuit where syndicates lurk and champions emerge.

That feeling when you put a lot of care in crafting a beautiful translation, and then the devs decide to use machine translation for content updates. 😥

It seems @tinyroargames.bsky.social have sworn to develop amazing games that I'd love to play. After the great Into The Emberlands and the still in development Lou's Lagoon, their new game seems once again splendid. Great music too in that trailer.

Wild Woods is a cute and challenging game that's perfect for co-op play during the holidays with family and friends. Even though it is still in Early Access, it's extremely robust and fun already.

I had somehow missed the fact that Slender Threads is now available on mobiles (Android and iOS) and on Switch. Great point-n-click game, that manages to be both spooky and hilarious, with a divisive, but very clever ending.

I'm really sad that never had the opportunity to work with @rawfury.bsky.social, because they do publish great games. This bundle is crammed with gems and at this price, it's frankly a steal: both Kathy Rain games, Sable, Call of the Sea, Friends vs Friends, American Arcadia, Backbone/Tails Noir...

The level of attention to detail that @yachtclubgames.bsky.social put into every aspect of their games (including localization!) is astounding. Mina the Hollower is a much more ambitious game that it may appear at first glance, I hope it'll get the success it deserves.

Hidden Runaway was the missing piece of my Pendulo collection (I had no idea that a boxed version had been released in Germany...), and now I have it thanks to my good friend Josué Monchan! Yes, we did translate this one into French too! 😀
