Hey Patrons,

I've been excited to share this one for weeks!

So, I edit these videos in the order of least resistance. Meaning I start work on the video that I'm either most confident about, or more often, most excited about. This episode on localization and translation was timeline complete weeks before any of the others, for the simple fact that it is utterly fascinating.

The three interviewees are charming, intelligent and incredible insightful. The subject matter is bizarre, funny and more complex than you'd think. I knew when we travelled to Poland that The Witcher was the perfect game to try to craft a video around localization, but I wasn't expecting it to come out as good as this. I'm really proud of this one.

Thanks so much for your support folks, it seems people have really enjoyed this series which is a big relief. We'll have news on the new stuff soon, plus bunches more special features coming for the next 3 months. Plus plenty of Behind-The-Scenes stuff from Poland and Knoxville, and more stable Patron exclusive Q&As and Hangouts.

Anyway, enough from me. Enjoy the video and let me know what you think!

Danny

I find translation and localisation super interesting. The amount of work that goes into it is scary.

As a person who grew up speaking another language getting properly localized game in your native tongue was akin getting some super exclusive one of a kind edition. I loved their approach and how had they worked on staying true to the origin of Witcher stories, including the language. And great job on another video Danny!
