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.”The names and roles of all the translators and LQA specialists involved in localizing the game.
