Lotttt of new people on here lately so, hey! I'm Jon, and I've been working in localization editing/producing for over ten years a this point - maybe you've played something I've worked on? 👀
Pour one out for Y3 Remastered. Yakuza 3 is flawed for sure but there's so much heart in that original game - and the work we were able to do in making Y3R the dad game it always deserved to be is something I will forever be proud of 🥹
(it's also not-so-secretly one of my favorites in the series)

Extremely proud to announce I was a translator on Octopath Traveler 0! 🎉 So glad this game got a second life on consoles, and heartened to see reviewers say the story brought them to tears. Guess that means we did our job. 😊

I put BoTW on my 10 games to get to know me, so this is absolutely insane, but I voice Cadlan in the English version of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment ⚔️🐟
To voice a canon playable character is a dream come true for a longtime Zelda fan like me 🥹 I hope you enjoy him!

I voice the brave Korok warrior CALAMO in HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. This character was an absolute joy to play, and it was really cool to get to be a part of a Zelda game. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch 2.

It's difficult to overstate the influence Recettear's surprise hit of a digital English release was in terms of getting the Japanese games industry to turn their heads towards PC as a viable release platform.
We all owe a lot to Andrew and his work and I'm so sad to hear this.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.
