I'm trying to report that stuff with the limited time and investigative skill I have, but I wish actual gaming journalists would more often highlight the predatory world of game loc. It feels like we're often just left to die in our poor corner of the industry...
If a fictional adventurer in a high fantasy world gets to be organized: why not you???
Raj Patel@rajio.bsky.social · 5mo agoall these "high fantasy" worlds similarly have adventurer's guilds, merchant guilds, thieves guilds, and all sort of labor organizations. But are there more we don't tend to hear about, like farmer's guilds, for example? are the guards unionized?

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐝 💫 Game localizers@fromthevoid.net · last yr.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...

All we want for Christmas is: - More indie games localized in Italian! - More games that push the boundaries of the medium! - More chances for our colleagues to showcase their craft, instead of wasting their skill on MT slop! - Fair pay and proper crediting for EVERYBODY in the game industry!
Our very first collective work - the Italian localization for the gorgeous Nine Sols by Red Candle Games - is now live! Seeing our names on the screen under the PorcaLoc banner is the best feeling and deserves a very loud and proud HONK!
