The Dragon of Dragonbaby 🐲

Irredeemable vampire simp planning to usurp the localization world with a golden heart and silver tongue.

Specialist in all things bone-grinding and neon-tinged...or frankly anything needing a flair of poeticism.

In a rare flexing of my creepy yet creative fingers, turns out I was the lead EN editor on @cr-games.bsky.social + @trioskaz.bsky.social's No, I'm not a Human.

So, go on... Unlock your doors and allow some little freaky freaks (me) into your home today. 🧟‍♂️🚪😱
A creepy human (?) wishes to enter a house. Seen through a peephole, the world outside is a sickly green.

Gushing mouthfeel 💦
A delicious sounding sign for a "wet hamburger". The burgers themselves look deceptively dry.

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is finally out worldwide!

Kinda wild to think I started in localization being mentored by the folks who translated the first Fantasy Life and now I led the team for the sequel!?

Couldn't be more proud of our linguists. 🥹💚

So, go get a life...or 14!
The splash image for the Level 5 title Fantasy Life i. Features a bone dragon flying over a blue tropical sea and island. The localization credits for Fantasy Life i. Features a lot of names which I am not going to write here, but one of those names is mine.

It's transgender day of visibility!

I'm perceiving the entire community right now and can confirm we are all FANTASTIC. 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🩶
A somewhat sinister and entirely too close image of the poster's face. Get SEEN you delightful queers, you!

Instagram serving me yet another unobtainable goal for men... 😔
Two Instagram posts fortuitously next to each other, one says "what 17% body fat looks like" with an image of the top half of a male torso. The other shows the bottom half of a 500m tall cryptid.

Finally started painting the Carnomorphs from Nemesis the board game.

Never actually put brush to paint on a model before, so I'm pretty pleased with this fleshy bone lad! 🍖
Very adeptly painted Carnomorph alien model from the Nemesis board game expansion. Bone white and red flesh, the iconic combination. Very adeptly painted Carnomorph alien model from the Nemesis board game expansion. Bone white and red flesh, the iconic combination.

You can't argue with this. I tried.

Behold a child's drawing of a cat pretending to be a cat.
A white cat with only one braincell sits on a shelf. He is both small and foolish looking.

The time of lime slime is here... I can finally announce that sprinkled my words over the #DragonQuest III HD-2D remake! 😵

#DQ3 is the biggest release of my localization career so far and it was a true privilege to work with the SQEX team on the JRPG that spawned JRPGs.

Goo buy it! 🤘🥹🤘
Box art for the Dragon Quest 3 2D-HD remake, it features the main character standing with sword in ground looking towards a castle on a cliff. The art style is dusky and hand drawn with greens, blues, and purples.

Oooh another release! Super fun working on this one - love me some sluggy tictacs! 🫡🎖️

It's getting cooler again here in Tokyo, and that means I can be out and about without melting!

Colours of the Night: Pink//Blue
A nightshot of Shinjuku, Tokyo with hyper vibrant colour neon lights. Billboards feature various anime characters and glow predominantly red and blue.

Instructions unclear. Went to Emo Night as wrong type of いも.
Group of filthy little emos dancing in a mosh pit at Emo Night Tokyo. Our lord and saviour, Gerard Way, looks down from above An image of the poster dressed as a potato at Emo Night Tokyo. This is a funny joke because the Japanese word for potato (imo) sounds just like the word "emo".

HEY, I'm Sam! 🤘🏻😘🤘🏻

I run a chaotic good localization studio called Dragonbaby where we make the best words happen for the weirdest and creepiest games around.

I also occasionally wiggle my fingers over games that need JP>EN translation or narrative support.

An image of the poster (Sam) taking a gratuitous selfie at a Shake Shack. It shows a alternatively styled boy with short blonde spiky hair and tastefully applied pink eye makeup. The selfie itself is actually pretty cute, with the stand-out feature being the way it highlights the many face piercings and hand tattoo.

It's so FLUFFY!! (I kinda don't hate it though?)
An image being used as proof that the poster's hair does in fact look like a dandelion cryptid.

Wild that it's already been a whole year since World of Horror was unleashed!

In that time this creepy little 2-bit gem has touched many faces and hearts with its tentacles both slimy and dry - mine included.

Always a joy to work with the boys at @ysbrydgames.bsky.social 🖤

◤◢◤NEW RELEASE◢◤◢

As a fan of horror, weird shit, and weird horror, it was a minty fresh delight to help WrongOrgan and Critical Reflex unleash the unapologetically grotesque MOUTHWASHING unto the world as part of @dragonbaby.bsky.social!

I hope this hurts. 🪥
