We've just added to the game Basque (Euskara) and Japanese.
Thanks to Game Erauntsia for translating the game!
We want to know your opinion about this. The team has received some requests to translate the game into different languages, but we don't have the budget to cover the different localization processes.
- The use of AI.
- Let the community translate the game by themselves for free.
- Don't add more languages support into the game.
We want to let you know that we are against AI taking important and creative jobs, such as localization, both here and out the videogame industry.
That said, it would be pretty easy to decide not to translate our game using AI, but we would be forcing a lot of players to know English or other languages in order to play our game, and that isn't good either. And obviously, not paying people for their work is also bad.
The last option we have is not to translate the game, but this would directly affect our income and make future development even more difficult.
So, for those of you who have played any game in a language other than your first language, we want to ask for your opinion. What would you do?
