changedThanks to some random Twitter interaction, we met Brandon from Gamersky, who publishes games in China. Brandon offered to cooperate in this market and localize the game to Chinese. Indie studios receive hundreds of such messages and usually nothing comes of it. Also, our game had an inappropriately long script, so we didn't really believe that someone would undertake the translation only a few months before launch. But Gamersky took up this challenge. And not only did they manage to translate 300,000 words in several weeks, but they also became our ambassador among Chinese-speaking players. And in a very effective way, because after 3 months from the release, Chinese players are our largest percentage on Steam!

And now, in addition, Brandon has gone to China's biggest gaming festival known as ChinaJoy, where you can find a booth with We. The Refugees! The inscrutable power of the internet continues to amaze us.

Thanks, Gamersky, for everything! And we encourage all Chinese players to check out We. The Refugees at ChinaJoy! The festival starts today (28.07.2023) and runs until Monday (31.07.2023).
