🖼️ 𝗧𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 🖼️ Not like making tapestry, more acting like tapestry. Dating back to the 19th century, this expression comes from the era of balls: when someone went alone to an event and wasn't invited to dance, therefore staying standing in a corner, it was said that they were "doing tapestry".

...And since 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗲 is "relatively" close to 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻 we went to the ComputerspieleMuseum and had a fantastic afternoon full of discoveries and visual gems worthy of an arcade wunderkammer! 🤡Of course, I left a business card, just in case they want our portraits in their collection of famous guests!

The most precious loot from #Gamescom in Cologne: goodies from @rustylake.com and @secondmaze.bsky.social / @hikingmindstudio.bsky.social (Servant of the Lake and Falling Apart, whose demo is totally up my alley). Such a warm welcome at their booth, thank you all!

Normalize 👏 AI 👏 shaming 👏 🤢Gamers have made their position on this more than clear. Do you think #localization is any different? #Gameloc is part of development, and as such it deserves the same respect as graphics, writing, music and code. Normalize👏AI-localization👏shaming👏too!👏

Do you have blood? Are you OK with occasionally having some of it outside of your body? Then you're in luck, looks like you can get a copy of Vampire Survivors + DLC for free if you donate blood and submit proof🩸 bloodmoon.poncle.net Really cool idea! 🧛

LocQuest 🛡️ Ethical Localization @locquest.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Should you localize your game? 🤔 Choosing a market for localization feels kind of like playing Russian (or Spanish, Chinese, Arabic…) Roulette. The good news? 🗞️ There’s an easier, more cost-effective way forward: localizing your Steam store page. Read more: locquest.com/localizing-s...

How localizing your steam page increases visibility. A short summary of our longer blog post.

According to steam, you should be localizing your store page. This slide includes a screenshot from Valve’s talk at GDC Festival of Gaming Conference in 2025 where they show that over 66% of users have languages other than English set as their primary language on Steam. The other screenshot is from Steamworks documentation on Visibility, saying that Steam is more likely to show your game to players that speak a language supported by your game.

The languages to prioritise for max impact include: Simplified Chinese, Russian, Spanish (Spain & LatAm), Portuguese (Brazil), German, French, Korean, and Japanese.

How the smart devs are doing it. Step 1: Localizing store page into multiple languages. Step 2: Growing & evaluating wishlist data. Step 3: Deciding on languages for full loc.

"This gen AI side of gaming feels kind of similar to the early crypto stuff (...) It feels like everyone who is super gung-ho about it isn't from the industry. They're outsiders looking to get rich quick." A great read about why nobody wants to use GenAI in games. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

Unknown variables 😱 nightmare of gendered languages. [$ITEM$] = masculine? feminine? Starts with vowel or consonant? 🤓 Trick for Italian: vowel-initial epicene adjectives preceded by l’ or quest’→natural agreement. Examples from Death by Scrolling and Trash Goblin #gameloc
