Flow Of War

A classic RTS with a fresh defense-focused gameplay loop. Workers automatically gather resources and manage your economy while you focus on strategy. Expand and fortify your kingdom, command elite armies, and survive endless waves of procedurally generated enemies.

This is a game we're very proud to have worked on as localizers, and we were thrilled to collaborate closely with the developer to ensure their vision was accurately conveyed.

For this 6,000+ word project (core in-game text, user Interface, store page optimization, and achievements), the main challenge was to capture the essence of a classic RTS for modern audiences without losing its identity, ensuring a high-quality localization while respecting both the source material and the developer's creative intent.

1 . Quick Overview

Game Word Count: 6,000 words+ (User Interface (UI), core in-game text, store page optimization, and achievements).

Services Provided: Full Video Game Localization, Terminology Management, LQA & Hotfixes.

Languages: English to Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Italian, and Turkish.

2. Our Approach & Process

To localize this game into four languages, we established a clear communication channel with the developer to ensure that all game text was faithfully and accurately translated from the source material, while remaining natural for new audiences. To support this, we implemented a structured framework that enabled the entire team to translate effectively and efficiently throughout the localization process.

3. Workflow & Timeline

For Flow of War, we had a wide delivery window, which we used not only to localize the game's text but also to enter an extensive phase of LQE and LQA. This testing allowed us to polish every detail, ensuring a seamless player experience and delivering a high-quality localization across four languages.

Step 1: Initial asset review, framework setup, and development of the Core Glossary and Core Spreadsheet.

Step 2: Start of the localization process for the 6,000+ word source text into four languages.

Step 3: Comprehensive quality control review, Linguistic Quality Evaluation (LQE), and Localization Quality Assurance (LQA).

Step 4: Successful delivery of all localized text (6,000+ words) in four languages to the studio for final implementation.

4. Developer's Insights

"The localization team has been incredibly supportive and a pleasure to work with. They took the time to listen, discuss ideas, and find solutions together to make everything run smoothly. Their help has been invaluable, both from a technical perspective and in terms of collaboration throughout the project."
