RPG Forums in other countries/languages.

[PompiPompi]

As an indie liberty game developer I am interested to spread my game like a corona virus to as much patients as possible.
One way to do this, is with localization.
I translated my game Demo to several languages, both the store page, and everything inside the game itself, including the dialogs.

However, I am not sure how to reach to other language speaking people outside of Steam.
I don't even know how to look for websites in other languages.

Do you guys know of other websites about RPG? In other languages?
Do other website let people who don't speak their native tongue to post in their website?
Which non English RPG websites do you frequent?

what game ?

 

[AArmanFV]

The only forum I know in spanish is this: http://www.clandlan.net/foros/

But I only know them for making a translation of PS:T, I don't know how invested they are in the genre and the indie scenario, I've never participated or lurked there.

What a terrible name.

 

[PompiPompi]

My game is called Golden Fall 2, not Demo.
Though calling a game Demo could be funny trolling.

Not to offend the effort or anything. But is there really a market for non-porn RPGmaker games?

 

[Bester]

I don't believe this game could be turned profitable no matter how many localizations and forum posts you make. Maybe if it was mobile, and you had 1k bucks to buy installs to see the retention rate, but it's a big maybe.

Sorry, but unless you enjoyed the process or it was a learning experience, you've wasted your time.

Plenty of people liked it and enjoyed playing the Demo.
Including people from RPG Codecks.

Does developer make descriptions on different languages for the game in Steam? If so, please, correct Russian version, its a damn shame.

You should translate your game into Australian so DarkUnderlord can play it.

I paid someone to do the translation
The game itself is also translated to Russian.

It's not going to be a big success or pay up the amount of time I spent on it.
But it's going to be more successful than anything I did before.
If I make a 1000 USD out of it I will be happy.

I'm sorry, man, but you paid for typos + google translate.
Did your game really called "Golden Fall" with fall as "autumn" ("осень"), not as "drop" ("падение")?

Do not pay people for translations unless you know their quality is good or you know people fluent enough with the language to give you feedback on the translation.

There are plenty of "professional" translations out there that the dev paid lots of money for but they're shit.

That said, I offer translations into German for a fair price

Well fall is both autumn and drop in English. So it can be either.
