One of the most daunting projects I ever worked on. Luckily I got to do it with my incredibly talented colleagues @jalapenomunich.bsky.social @nellyneko.bsky.social, Tamara Neiss and Jules Steiner.

LocQuest 🛡️ Ethical Localization @locquest.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Good vs Evil 😇😈 Ethical vs Unethical ⚖️💰 Quality vs Slop ✅🤖 Ask ye these three questions whilst battling through Question Games’ self-published @thekillingstone.com Localization was a feat unto itself: masses of words and four tongues traversing four phases. 🛡️ Play, if you dare ⚙️

The Killing Stone, a deckbuilding card battler by Question Games, is out now. Localization with the help of LocQuest.

Beat the Devil at his own game. The Killing Stone is a deckbuilding card battler wrapped in a 17th century occult horror narrative. Clean the sins of a cursed family by bargaining against a series of demons - and outwitting the Devil himself. LocQuest localized The Killing Stone into 4 languages: German, Spanish (LatAm), French, and Chinese (Simplified).

Two quotes. One from Michael Kelly, COO: “Translating our 17th century occult horror which is very particular about using period references and context would be impossible without professional human translators, who not only took time to research and understand the intention, but also took care to keep the musicality of the prose. The team at LocQuest were up to the task of preserving the little details that matter to great storytelling.” Another from J. Thomas, Lead Writer & VO Director: ““I'm lighting a candle for the hyper-committed, thoughtful translators at LocQuest.”

The names and roles of all the localization managers, translators, and LQA specialists involved in localizing the game.

When someone aks what we think about the use of AI, the first question that comes to mind is always: But why? Why would we, or anyone really, want to use it? Here's @mittovac.bsky.social's piece about this very topic. Please share to anyone who needs to read this ⬇️ fromthevoid.net/blog/ai-in-g...
