changedAs a solo developer, I would also like to share a few words about these translations. I wrote the entire game myself, starting from my native languages, Dutch and Frisian. I worked from the Dutch text for the translations and used AI to make most of the localization possible. I am aware that the quality may vary from one language to another.
changedBecause of limited time and budget, I had to make a choice as a solo developer: either localize the game, or not localize it at all. In the end, I believe it is better to make Sketchy Fables available in as many languages as possible than to offer no translations at all. In that way, I hope to make the game more accessible to a wider audience.
changedSketchy Fables is also a highly visual game, and I hope that much of its atmosphere, sense of wonder, and feeling of connection will still come across even without full understanding of the language.
