Developer GrapeOcean Technologies has taken to the Steam page of isometric, party-based RPG Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness to announce that French translation is coming to the game in January. If you have been waiting for the French localization and don’t own the game yet, the upcoming Winter Sale is a great opportunity to get Black Geyser.
The developers have made great strides in terms of localization and translation, working tirelessly on adding more languages to the game. Previously, the team had provided an explanation as to why some localizations have taken longer than others. The game has more than 280,000 words of text, which is an extreme amount for an indie title. Translating this many words is usually very expensive, and takes a very long time for an affordable translator. As a small studio, GrapeOcean is adding languages that they can based on a number of possibilities, including the financial options.
Additionally, the game received the following changes in the latest patches:
- Smaller fixes in the German, Spanish and Latin American Spanish localizations
