LocQuest 🛡️ Ethical Localization @locquest.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Metroidvania fans, rejoice 🎉 The sequel to the beautifully-set, award-winning, fire-fighting, side-scrolling platformer Nocturnal is nearly here. (Localized by LocQuest in 8 languages) 🔥 Shoutout to Sunnyside Games for this fun one! Demo out now on Steam, full game releasing soon! 🔜

Sunnyside Games have launched a new demo for their game Nocturnal 2, with the help of LocQuest.

In Nocturnal 2, ignite your sword and explore the dark depths and towering heights of a forgotten island that consumed itself long ago. LocQuest localized the game into 8 languages: German, Spanish (Spain), Italian, Japanese, Korean. Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Chinese (Simplified).

A quote from Gabriel Sonderegger, Founder of Sunnyside Games: “LocQuest have been the strongest localisation partner we have worked with to date. We particularly appreciated the clarity and transparency of their process, and we were also very impressed by the quality and precision of the questions raised by their team regarding the interpretation of the source material. Their attention to nuance and commitment to preserving the original meaning in each translated text were outstanding.”

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

Familiarization is something you do to get to know the game that you're about to translate, but for me it's also a precious time to fall in love with the game.

I’m not good with numbers, so I work with words. But I’m still surrounded by numbers—word counts, deadlines, rates… What gives? 数字は苦手だから、言葉に関わる仕事をしていると言っても過言ではないのだけど、ワード数とか、納期とか、単価とか気がつけば結局は数字に囲まれている…😓

It was cloudy but quite nice and warm, so I got out of my cave and went for a walk. I enjoyed it very much, but I lost my hat. If it had been a super cold day, I might have noticed earlier..😓 Bye-bye, hat. I hope you went to a nice home.

iPhoneのタイマーって、なんでスタート押したときに「ピッ」とか音が鳴らないんだろうか？スタートした実感がないから何度も▶️を押しちゃって、気が付くとタイマーが3つくらいかかっていることもある…設定の問題？ Why my iPhone doesn't beep when I start a timer? I tend to press ▶️ multiple times, so sometimes I end up with three timers running at once....
