I am a translator. I mainly translate indie games from English to Japanese. In addition to translation, I can also create and send press releases to gaming media, select fonts, edit image files (.psd and .xcf), etc. Please feel free to send me a DM or Discord.

Back to Hearth, boasting over 150 reviews and a perfect 100% approval rating, is now 25% off. It feels great to see it reaching the right people (I'm the translator, not the developer). #indiegame

“GORE”
A first-person horror game that begins with an eerie situation: you're hiking, but there are no other hikers or animals around... It was a great experience, offering quiet, grotesque, and cosmic horror as the landscape gradually transforms into something abnormal. #indiegame

『A Twisted Place』
A side-scrolling low-poly horror game. Its classic, tasteful art direction and gore effects are great . While there are complaints like long moving times and unclear save points upon game over, the lame font is the most noticeable flaw in this otherwise solid title. #indiegame

"A Butterfly"
A horror or poetic work where you become a butterfly and flit through the world's ruins. Its solemn atmosphere, reaching the realm of virtual transcendence, is a must-see. A story about terror, overcoming it, and resignation. #indiegame

As a game translator who recently started working as a game writer, I'm posting advices here for game developers issuing press releases.
1. Prepare a press kit containing high-resolution title images. These are often used at the very top of articles or for thumbnails.

This is a collection of 8 small exploration games. The overall low-poly and colorful aesthetic was very enjoyable. There's no set objective, much like a VRChat world, but that's what makes it great. #indiegame

"Japan Stigmatized Property"
The locations have a fantastic atmosphere. It doesn't have the punch of a horror game that would "curse you through the lens," so it's perfect for beginners who want a chill horror experience. It's a great little game you can play casually. #indiegame

From my experience sending press releases as a translator, I want to tell all indie game developers to consider the day you implement languages as a "second launch day"
For non-English speaking gamers, the addition of their native language can feel just a new game release. #indiegame #indiegamedev

You should translate your store page in high quality only if it is a language-independent game.
It is also important to translate the store page to understand the number of potential customers per country.
