Just as graphic designers and artists aren't supposed to work for "exposure", translators shouldn't be expected to volunteer or have their jobs reduced to a volunteer service.

Think of all the exposure in the translation community they're going to get!

True, you'd be a fool to offer the effort with no promise of compensation. Nevertheless, I suspect somebody will take them up on it. Ha ha they could croudsource to fund the budget to hire a translator!

Jay Rust posted:I'm trying to get into the habit of using items in RPGs. Hardest thing I've ever had to do In JRPGs I only really use items in the first maybe two hours of gameplay, after which they quickly become obsoleted by healing magic. The exception are games like the Tales series and Legend of Dragoon and such that have proportionally-healing items that really never get outdated.

I am one of those, yeah I'm also one of those fucks that would hoard Megalixers in Final Fantasy, even during the final boss because "i might need it later" Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Mar 7, 2016 |

This is the website where a dude translated Dangan Ronpa for free and it became so popular the the company that made it translated it for real and put it on Steam with zero compensation for him. Also the site that translated Policenauts for free. We're not really in any position to call out people translating poo poo as a labor of love.

A lot of things people think are decisions to make games "less punishing" are actually measures against players actively making games less fun for themselves by hoarding and grinding when it's not necessary.

Yeah. I've been playing Shallie and the lack of a time limit means I can play around freely with the alchemy system and not worry about it. I get that it makes the game easier, but it's also a lot more fun for me I think. In ayesha I kept pushing to try not to waste time or items, and it made everything a lot more difficult than it needed to be. in e&l and shallie you get free item refills, which means the player is given an incentive to make and use cool, unique items. it does remove any sense of pressure though which would have ruined ayesha cause thats the entire point there corn in the bible fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Mar 7, 2016 |

When playing, say, Skyrim, I might make Resist Fire potions but then forget to use them against a fire-breathing dragon. Then, while talking to a merchant, I'd notice the potion again, and then sell it because I don't like having a cluttered inventory in these kinds of games. I only ever use healing potions. Crafting consumables is a fine idea though. Too bad using them isn't an instinct I have yet.

It took me way too long to realize the reason I sucked so goddamn bad at Fallout was because I didn't use drugs.

Macaluso posted:Hmmm counterpoint: You should pay people for the jobs you want them to do. Who cares what site this is It's a Catch-22 It's worthy of localization/translation if the fans do that work for free, and when they do, their work is shamelessly stolen by companies that could afford to pay them, but don't. But companies won't do the translation because "Americans aren't interested"... unless they are, in which case, some nerd did your work for you, free labor! And fans hesitate to translate, because maybe the company will translate it, but then they don't. Until it's done for free, then they bother to make an official release, half rear end it, and steal labor because  muh IP copyrights

Also the site that translated Policenauts for free. We're not really in any position to call out people translating poo poo as a labor of love. This is irrelevant. The companies that made those games decided not to translate those games and it took years later for fans to decide to do it for them, leading to one case of the game being licensed and getting another translation (that they paid people to translate). This is a case of the devs wanting to release a translation but not wanting to pay the people doing the work.

Being comically huge must be a unique experience in a Warriors game. Like, Lu Bu is tall, but he's not several stories tall.

On the plus side, Firewatch's seeking volunteer localization might result in one language's script just being incredibly offensive nonsense to get the developers in trouble, like that time one of the Minecraft translations replaced all the in-game text with racial slurs.
