Xbox brass wants more of its biggest franchises more often: Halo, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc. Here's how we'd go about utilizing Xbox's remaining resources to make it happen. https://bit.ly/4gt7NEs
thanks to some wonderful volunteers, the menus of SPP have been localized to:
Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Italian, and Turkish!
if you'd like to help localize SPP (~800 words), i'd be happy to reward you with an exclusive build with more levels!
please note that this is not a localization of the entire game's text, as there is significant (paid!) work involved in translating the ~300 bottlecap names and descriptions (8k words), as well as any insight articles (3k words currently, likely to be 30k in the end)
the english script has not been finalized yet, so it makes sense to only translate the menus at this time. a complete localization will be paid work!
i can't make any promises currently, but i do hope to localize the game in as many languages as i can!
The video game industry decided to discontinue their product, the video game, in exchange for trying to make Fortnites. They have in recent years found out this doesn't work, so they have pivoted from making Fortnites to making ????????????????? nothing I guess
New video! Kicking off a new series where I show off some of my favourite demos that’ve landed in my DMs. Featuring (among others) Soda-Powered Penguin, Factory 95, and the new one from Consume Me/Multibowl’s A.P. Thomson 👀

Extremely behind the curve, but I picked it up late last year and finished it very recently up to and including "Wow!" - what an absolutely beautiful title, top-to-bottom and inside-and-out. Attached is my full review -- thank YOU
