Integrity

If grid-based, board-game-like turn-based combat has ever felt restrictive to you, experience Integrity. Move freely, destroy or create terrain with your skills, and manage line of sight and stamina in a turn-based tactical RPG where every decision can decide the outcome.

Localizing this incredible project into multiple languages was challenging but extremely rewarding. Due to its procedural and modular nature, we had to be very precise, as the placeholders that make up parts of the game's text are highly dynamic and essential for understanding the game mechanics. Therefore, providing a localization that was both accurate and natural for players was crucial for us.

1 . Quick Overview

Game Word Count: +7,000 (Core in-game text, dynamic UI, updates, and post-launch content).

Services Provided: Full Video Game Localization, Terminology Management, Dynamic UI Adaptation, LQA & Continuous Support.

Languages: English to Spanish, Italian, and Turkish.

2. Our Approach & Process

Agile Localization: Working on Integrity required a highly flexible and responsive workflow. As game text and features evolved throughout development, we maintained close alignment with the developer and continuous communication among our team members to seamlessly integrate new strings, text revisions, and updates without delaying project milestones.

Dynamic UI & Mechanics Optimization: To enhance the player experience during combat, we collaborated with the developer to refine the UI text structure. By optimizing text formatting and placeholder arrangements, we ensured that dynamically generated messages sounded natural, grammatically coherent, and fluid across all target languages in any combat scenario.

3. Workflow & Timeline

Step 1: Preparation & Technical Setup - Review of the original text in .json, start of the localization framework for the requested languages, and development of the core glossary.

Step 2: Localization & LQA Testing - After localization rounds, the first draft is completed, and the primary game text is delivered across all target languages. Immediately following the initial delivery, we received supplementary dialogue lines and initial text revisions from the developer to refine context. Initiated the first phase of Linguistic Quality Assurance (LQA) testing while simultaneously localizing ongoing text additions sent by the developer.

Step 3: Workflow Optimization & LQA Continuation - Adapted asset delivery formats in coordination with the developer to prevent accidental key overwriting during implementation. Continued intensive LQA testing to polish localized strings in-game.

Step 4: Update Content & Dynamic UI Restructuring - Processed major update text provided by the developer. Coordinated UI text adaptations to ensure dynamic combat placeholders produced fluent, natural syntax across all languages.

Step 5: Final Delivery - Spanish, Italian, and Turkish localizations were officially completed, delivered, implemented, and followed by post-launch verification that completed the full game translation.

4. Developer's Insights

"Thank you all for your hard work and dedication throughout this project. Your translations have helped make Integrity accessible to many more players around the world, and we truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into it. It was a pleasure working with all of you, and I hope we can work together again in the future!"
