If you're going to sell your soul to this bastard, keep in mind he's the developer who is not going to provide keys for MechDefender from OtakuMaker Greenlight Bundle #7 and "Royal Offense", "Super Sports Surgery: Rugby" and "Royal Blacksmith" from OtakuMaker Greenlight Bundle #9 because "He changed his mind".
PS: This is not a deal, asshole.
PPS: If I were you, I would ask for the game keys beforehand, maybe he'll change his mind after you send him your translation (however, if I were you I'd tell the S.O.B. to pay someone to do the translation -and to send the promised keys to the bundle purchasers/greenlight voters-).

You don't know the half of it. You should see his responses on Steam Discussions where he insults his customers and asks them to go away and refund his game because he doesn't want to give them free keys for voting and promoting his game.
Comment has been collapsed.
well. tbh the games are pretty bad. so im not sure if its a loss
Comment has been collapsed.
Not to mention he is trying to get translation work for free.
There's no mention of the scale of the projects and he isn't even paying minimum wage for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
he provided the file you need to translate. thats a 15min work. tops. well the keys are free for him, but not for you. so I dont agree with your statement there
Comment has been collapsed.
His games are tossed in bundles for pennies though. How many would you like for your salary?
Comment has been collapsed.
I didn't said Im going to do it :D
but lets say I ask for all of his games I didnt bother to check how many cards/game so lets say you can get 7*3 card. thats 21 cards, probably you get around 3 cent profit each, thats 63 cent. so thats for 15 min. So thats almost 2,5$/hour wage. Thats not that bad
Comment has been collapsed.
almost 2,5$/hour wage. Thats not that bad
Yeah, not bad for rural Africa or a Chinese sweatshop.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't wanna go too much offtopic but in Hungary the average payment is 2-3$ tops. And no, nothing is cheaper here, the prices are basically the same as in Germany, where the minimum wage is 8$.
It's funny how everyone is thinking about Africa when we talk about low wages, while the situation in eastern Europe is depressing too.
Comment has been collapsed.
With the minor detail that translators are usually paid by the word. Or have quite high hourly fees, up to $30-50 per hour.
Not to mention that even the English script is plagued with mistakes so you'd have to redo portions of that too.
Comment has been collapsed.
(indies actually pay the same as AAA, sometimes more, if they want professional translations)
Comment has been collapsed.
Comment has been collapsed.
What does that prove? I never said all, and I even qualified it, "if they want professional translations". Crowd-sourced and fan translations are quite common, sure, and they might be good as well, who knows. But in the end it's usually more profitable to go for a professional translation, at least in specific languages (negative reviews mentioning bad translation can be quite damaging, just as positive reviews about good translations can boost sales for that region; and I don't just mean the language aspect, implementation is also an issue, there's no testing of the packs in your example as far as I can see). Of course your games probably work well enough without that (also note I never said you should find & pay professional translators, I just wanted to clarify that not all indie studios crowd-source, and definitely not all AAA studios pay their translators as much as they're worth or even as much as some indie studios pay)
I've worked for several game localization agencies, in-house and freelance, what's your experience to make generalizations like that?
Comment has been collapsed.
You can google me. To put it short - I develop*publish games for 10+ years for world-wide.
Comment has been collapsed.
So how do you know all about how other studios, big and small, handle localization? Again, I think it's fine if you find people to do this for you for a few keys, especially since this really isn't a lot of text, but please don't imply only big studios/expensive games go for professional translations, that's simply not true.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is true and not. Every case is different.
But in general - it is ok to do as I do here.
And as you can see - this thread is full of people who is telling me how and what to do =)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well yeah, I even said it was okay, I'm just disputing your "This is not a AAA kind of game" defense, since that implies only big studios go for professional translations, which isn't true. (though, again, with games with as little test as yours, I can see why you're going this route, and even Valve crowdsources their translations, and they can certainly afford translators)
Comment has been collapsed.
but its not like 15 minutes is an exact measurement, and certainly falls on the lower end of the estimates
so say its even just 30 minutes now; now you're a 1.25 an hour

I think my games are not tossed for pennies anymore.

You asking for help from the community, while spitting to it by not giving the promised keys to the bundle buyers (and Greenlight supporters) is insulting. You're a liar and a scammer. And everybody should be aware of the kind of motherfucking bastard you are before they selflessly help you in good faith with the translation of your games when your lack of good faith is appalling.

Given the history about ungiven keys in bundles (none i bought, but raise flags none the less) i don't want to spend time and feel like a fool afterwards. Sorry if it sounds unfair but other posts made a bad impression on your past actions, can't argue with then on that.
Not accepting my invite and requesting the text via upload site doesn't help making it all seem more trusty.
I don't blame anyone for past mistakes, i believe in change, but im cautious.
My english is pretty good and id be willing to help with further translations and even correcting english text - im a aspiring dev myself and it would feel good to help a indie dev.
But it would feel bad to help someone who only wants to take, not give, or prone to shady practices.
Hope you understand.

I can sent you keys now, if you like.

Meanwhile, you won't give Steam keys for the people who bought your games on bundles and upvoted/supported them on Greenlight (don't forget that your games are on Steam because you lured people into voting for them with the promise of delivering keys to the bundle purchasers). You give away your games to people you don't know for free while you don't deliver them to the people who actually bought them and supported you on Greenlight. You're a liar and a fraud.
Comment has been collapsed.
You decided to be mean, instead of resolving this issue in any positive way. Nice touch.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fuck you. I tried to resolve this from the very beginning. I asked a polite question on the Steam boards and your first reply (which you now have deleted/edited) was that you weren't going to give Steam keys to bundle buyers and you accused me of wanting the game just to farm the cards ("You need this one to mine cards, right?"). I could say "Nice touch" to you too, couldn't I?
My only goal from now on will be to tell as many people as I can the kind of motherfucking bastard you are so your reputation grows accordingly.
So, yeah, fuck you.

That's -another- royal offense (pun intented). I am wondering with the patience of some people - devotee on that case - that has given a lot of effort in trying to communicate with you - in the first place, because now as he said he's just trying to warn others.
"You decided to be mean, instead of resolving this issue in any positive way"
It's not our job to resolve this issue, we're only pointing it out as deluded consumers who supported your games in order to get greenlit only to receive your middle finger.
Now you are adding insult to injury by creating this topic, you have a lot of impudence. I am not going to keep up with your arguments, as your actions are speaking for themselves. Shove these 0,04 cents in your royal cash.

And plz, dont write just bought - plz state a price - four cents. You paid four cents. Go - call your senator or your favorite journalist about that.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can lie to yourself as much as you want. You owe us more than 4 cents. Your games are on Steam because you lied to people who voted for them because they were promised a Steam key if the game was greenlit. If your games hadn't been featured in the OtakuMaker bundles they wouldn't have ended on Steam (or at least not so fast, check the timeline again, you moron).
I voted your games on Greenlight because I bought them on the OtakuMaker bundles, my comments are there as proof. I supported you by 1) preordering your games on a bundle where I didn't even receive a DRM-free download or a demo for them 2) voting for your games on Greenlight.
You lied to OtakuMaker. You lied to us. You cheated Steam. You're a fucking fraud. You deserve anything bad that comes out of all of this.

Please don't help him by translating his games. He screwed up a lot of people. He lied to the maintainers of a bundle site. He lied to people. He used us to get his games on Steam by voting for them on Greenlight with false promises. By giving more value to his work you're not doing any good to the community. Use your time on better things, or help other developers who have proven to be honest.

Hi there, I'm working in the Spanish translation and it's almost done, but there's a few things that I can't understand. Here are a couple of my doubts

hobbit-mermaid hobo

I could help you translate into hebrew if you want (only if you are willing to give the key before you get the translation though), but hebrew is written right-to-left, so not sure if you are able to add that as it might require changes in the code.
If you want, you will also need to tell which of the characters are males and which are females, since the words will be different based on the gender.
