The Future… What lies ahead ?
Hey gamers, its been a tough time for everyone, not just this horrendous (and still going on) heatwave but financially as well for a lot of people. The gaming industry seems to have hit its toughest time yet, so many lay-offs and failed games, and its getting worse not better. The recent decision by Sony to go digital only from 2028 has hit like a lead balloon, what is totally pointless though peeps is the constant and stupid things you are doing, a blackout in a week of August where […]https://gamerpauly.wordpress.com/2026/08/08/the-future-what-lies-ahead/

Upcoming Twitch Event – #SpookyGP
This will be the third year running I have hosted this event on X and done Giveaways across discord, Twitch etc. Now its time to STEP IT UP and GO BIG OR GO HOME. SpookyGP will be a massive 28 day Twitch Event, showcasing all kinds of games, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, RPG and of course Horror. Halloween doesn't have to just be about spooky or Horror, lots of people like to dress up as action heroes, film characters etc. so I will be including more types of games this time around. What's the plan […]https://gamerpauly.wordpress.com/2026/07/21/upcoming-twitch-event-spookygp/

I have a question to indie developers in the video game space; specifically, solo developers, hobbyists and tiny studios that grew out of the hobbyist space.
I am a freelance language service provider mostly working in the video game localisation industry; in other words, I translate video games.
My clients are localisation agencies, publishers and developers who hire me to translate their game to (or from) German.Since getting credited for AAA work is notoriously difficult, I would like to work with indie developers more often.
Ethically, I would love to support the indie space and help people dabble in localising their games to make them more accessible to non-English audiences, and I do think it is a collaborative arrangement that benefits both sides. I could get more credits to my name and work on exciting passion projects, and they would receive professional-quality language services, perhaps even at a reduced rate.
While researching however, I found that few indie developers seem to consider localising their games in the first place.
The ones I *do* see going for localisation are the larger, more popular and well-known indie studios and publishers (e. g. the *Paralives* folks); while smaller developers, let alone hobbyists, very rarely seem to go for localisation, even if it's a commercial release.
Since I would like to design my own processes for offering such services specifically tailored to indie developers, I wanted to ask you directly: what is the reason you haven't considered localisation for your games so far? What could a language service provider do to make you feel more comfortable or confident in the decision to work on a translated version of your game? What are your worries and road blocks?
(Polls on this instance can apparently only have four options, sorry! Feel free to elaborate in a reply instead.)
Boosts welcome.
