Can anyone recommend any localisation companies that are indie-budget friendly? (No ai)

DWARRF is part of Steam's "Pins & Pegs Fest" which is great cuz the game is both a pinball game and a peg (pachinko) game. I've realised I never explained what this game actually is on bsky, so here a thread! Wishlisting / reposting etc is very appreciated :D store.steampowered.com/app/3634710

To those who think the ball physics in DWARRF is too heavy: - In regular pinball, the ball is a ball bearing or something - In DWARRF, it’s a cannonball Checkmate.

Working on updates for Life Not Supported feels like gamedev on hardcore mode. The project only works on one machine, in one unity version, in one folder and I have no idea why. I just hope i can finish it before this laptop inevitably dies…

All this talk about rpg maker shutting down their forums is making me worried about the future of games/dev related Discord servers.. Is anyone doing any sort of self-hosted forums or anything for their games - something you actually own incase big companies do what big companies do?

It’s crazy that 100% of players that played my first game (Life Not Supported) also played The Forest AND Stardew Valley AND Valheim, especially as none of those games are space games. I wonder if Dwarrf will have 100% Peglin overlap? Source: gamalytic.com/game/1670810

I’m starting to design some female dwarves for DWARRF and looking online - some people *really* don’t like female dwarves having beards huh? So many incorrect and angry people… The dwarf is stored in the beard, I don’t make the rules.

Welp, there goes the 100% positive on the DWARRF demo, would be nice if it had *some* feedback attached 😅

A negative review on steam from a mysterious russian player with no name. The review is super in depth and constructive given that they've typed nothing at all!

(Tbf i rather they play the demo and then leave the game alone for full release)

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

It would be cool if when someone gets credited in a game, their name becomes a clickable link of their choosing. You might choose your portfolio, a picture of your cat, or just a fun meme. I would do this but, solodev..

Modding Oblivion (badly) at 8, making levels (also badly) in LittleBigPlanet the year after, followed by discovering GameMaker & UE3 a bit later. It was inevitable for me really.

This feels very intentional to funnel those that would’ve supported ‘your party’ to the greens. Just cuz you can’t be fragmented else reform win. They’ve got to take the L for the greater good.
