Your keys to the kingdom 🗝️🏰 Next Reign: Kingdom is a new indie incremental idler from Tiny Tulip Games that has got us royally addicted. 👑 Available in 10 languages with LocQuest localisation & LQA. Now on Steam ⚙️ (💸 special introductory offer until 10 September!)

Next Reign: Kingdom is available now on Steam in 10 languages, thanks to LocQuest

Next Reign: Kingdom is a new indie incremental idler from Tiny Tulip Games. Transform a tiny settlement into a thriving medieval kingdom in this incremental strategy game. Build your economy, command your army, and keep discovering new ways to grow with every milestone. LocQuest localised the game in 10 languages: Spanish (LatAm), French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Turkish, and Simplified Chinese.

A quote from Matt, Founder and Developer at Tiny Tulip Games: "We are first-time developers and had no experience whatsoever before releasing our first game, besides working on a few university prototypes. As such, we had no idea what proper localization actually looks like and, honestly, we were a little anxious about approaching a professional localization studio. However, I truly believe there couldn't have been a better choice for us than LocQuest. We had a ton of questions and were met with so much patience and expertise, which for us as newcomers has been the greatest gift! What stood out to me the most was just how thoroughly the teams work. We received questions about things we hadn't even considered ourselves when designing some of the monsters in the game and coming up with their names, for example. It's moments like these that showed me that there are true experts working on the localization and that it's not just "another localization job" for them - they pour genuine passion into their projects. We aim to create more games in the future, and I already know that I won't have to hesitate for even a moment when deciding who to ask about localization.”

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.

Every ending is just a new beginning 🐍 Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, the LatAm folklore-inspired point-and-click puzzle story from Galla and @fellowtraveller.games is getting a new chapter: the Closure Edition. ⚰️ LocQuest brought the game to life (or death) in LatAm Spanish. 🪦

The Closure Edition DLC of Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo by Galla and Fellow Traveller is now available, with LatAm localisation by LocQuest.

Help the cursed souls of Limbo escape their endless time loop in the afterlife. As Kulebra, a newly-deceased snake, witness their grief and guide them toward closure through point-and-click puzzles, light stealth, and empathy-driven boss encounters. The update includes a new chapter taking place during the Epilogue with challenges to beat and mysteries to uncover. This last adventure brings closure to the story built in the base game! LocQuest localized the game into Latin American Spanish.

A quote from Pavel Lara, Co-founder at Galla Entertainment: “The care and effort put into the localization by LocQuest is palpable, and the team's experience and work ethic was at full display. There were a lot of details they handled effectively that I would have never thought of when localizing a game. They were immensely helpful throughout every step, and we wouldn't have been able to get Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo to the Latin American community without their stellar work. We think they're very kool!”

Feeling the nostalgia. 👵 Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy follows an aspiring Great Mage and her journey through the Ancient Magic Academy 🧙🏻‍♀️ @ifi.games and LocQuest concocted the perfect combination of style and substance, bringing Fia’s journey to life in French. 🪄

Idea Factory International launch a new game with the help of LocQuest: Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy

In Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy, Fia, an aspiring Great Mage, leaves her hometown and arrives at the Ancient Magic Academy like her grandmother once did. LocQuest localized the game into French.

A quote from Justina Lange, Localization Coordinator
at Idea Factory International: “LocQuest was very easy to work with and always receptive to any requests we had! I always appreciated their willingness to ask questions in order to fully understand the text.”

I had the great honor of meeting Tim in the Netherlands earlier this year, and then the added extra honor of taking care of the Steam page translation for "THE BUTTON EFFECT" into 12 languages. Check it out!

It's funny how a good creative translation needs a lot more skill than dry legal translation, because legal is repetitive but creative writing is never the same and the translator has to constantly work hard to balance meaning, tone, intent, etc. But legal translation is paid 10x more than creative.

I've never taken any writing courses. The last language course I took was ENG 100 in the first year of uni. I'm no authority. But I can tell you as a writer to read your writing aloud. Listen to how the words mesh. Listen to it if it were music. Listen to its heartbeat. Make it SOUND good.

Si algo me gusta de España es que la gente relacione lugares con comida. - Vivo en Valencia. - Madre mía, la paella valenciana. - Voy a Galicia. - Buaah es que las porciones allá, una locura. - Tengo un amigo en Murcia. - ¡Chacho, las migas murcianas! - 46 ºC en Andalucía. - ¡Con su gazpachito!

As a proud #LateAdopter, I finished Disco Elysium only yesterday. What an amazing piece of art. No other game I ever played came close to this kind of social, psychological and political critique with such witty storytelling. Not to mention the fantastic twist on the CRPG genre.
