Localization is about capturing the essence and culture of a game for new audiences, and language is only one piece of that. And it's true, that's a big part of what we do - but it's also more complicated than that. When most people hear the word localization, if they even know what it means, they tend to just think of translation. Localization is the magic spell that transforms our game from an experience designed for a specific audience, to an experience accessible to players worldwide. You might not get very far if none of your allies can speak the same language! That’s where localization comes in. Let’s say you’re on an epic quest to save the world from tyranny.

I'll give you a brief look into what localization is, how it affects the game, and discuss how our contributions helped to shape Artemesia, the world of Lost Eidolons. Today, I want to talk to you a bit of the Localization Team's role here at our studio. I'm ODS Roy, Localization Manager at Ocean Drive.
