Congrats to all nominees of the @indiegameawards.gg! I had the pleasure of being part of the German localization teams of a few of the nominated games (+Pacific Drive 🚗 and Arranger 🧩) for @locquest.bsky.social, @local-heroes.com, and other clients. You can't go wrong with any of these indie gems!

🚀🐀 It’s a rat race!

LocQuest worked with solo dev Gagonfe to localize Rocket Rats into 6 languages.
We’ve been smelling some rats in gaming recently. Luckily, there are still devs out there that care about fair, ethical localization. 🛡️

Ein Schusswechsel ist, wenn 2 Seiten aufeinander schießen. Das war nicht der Fall. Nicht einmal Trumps Agenten haben das behauptet. Sorry, aber solche Fehler dürfen Medienprofis nicht passieren. Europa hat keinen Grund, sich in den US-Autoritarismus mitziehen zu lassen. Das hier ist Medienversagen.

Some localization agencies out there try to do everything to hide who they work with, mainly because they fear their "resources" being "poached". Not @locquest.bsky.social The trick? Treat them like human beings, with kindness, as a collaborator, not as a resource. Simple, yet effective.

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.
