Game Localization Link Roundup – October 2016

October was another exciting month in the game localization industry. This time, I’m sharing a few fascinating interviews with industry insiders as well as insightful articles about the localization business.

During the past month, we also made tremendous progress with LocJAM Japan’s preparation. We now have a fully functional tool and an internationalized game ready to be shared with the world. We were lucky to find a game of the perfect size for our needs AND incredibly fun to play. Even if you’re not joining the contest, look forward to playing it, next month in Japanese or in English when the winning entries are announced!
