I think this appeared briefly during the Xbox conference? Release date soon?

It did, during the indie montage! I heard it was in there but couldn't say anything in case they changed the line-up last minute. strawberry floating mindblowing that I game I worked on was seen on that scale, even briefly!

There's an approximate date but we're not ready to announce anything as yet unfortunately.

Copy-editing, proofreading, some of the writing! I'm also officially down as a 'consultant' now, whatever that means (because me and the director would go for sushi and talk about the design of the game sometimes)

Don’t forget to invoice him for your consultancy services after release ;)

That’s awesome though, congrats. The game’s style definitely caught my eye in the reel when it madean appearance.

Editing copy.

lol

The game was translated from French into English by translators. I was initially hired to go through all the texts, around 250 000 words and make sure it was all grammatically correct etc. My role then evolved into me actually changing the text to make it flow better, or to better express the emotions the writer wanted to focus on, or simply to make it make more sense. To improve it, basically. This then became a writing gig after they were pleased with my work.

Yup! There's been 12 people in total involved in the development, and I think 6 of us were localisation!

Unfortunately yes, this is the PC release only. Xbox, PS4 and, most importantly, Switch releases will come later.

Will be a Switch game for me, hopefully that's not too late afterwards

Disappointed it's not an Epic store exclusive though

Similar to the "Beyonce's PA" Choose Your Own Adventure tweet thread, Raw Fury have posted up one of our characters as a CYOA on Twitter!
