Ma’am, there is no “where.” I built this myself. 😭05 Sep 2026 00:40 +0000at://did:plc:bf2lvdrtuvboblwtbuzgotfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3muqak2m7gd2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/lourdes-localizes.bsky.social/post/3munooki4sf22Did I suffer the consequences of playing 16 games in 2 days during GMTK Game Jam? Yes. Will I stop myself from doing that during Brackeys? Absolutely not.

It really feels like turning the pages of a novel you just can't put down. Anyway, I'm off to Chapter 2. 👀 Oh, and no spoilers please!02 Sep 2026 22:09 +0000at://did:plc:bf2lvdrtuvboblwtbuzgotfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mukx6au7uv27https://bsky.app/profile/lourdes-localizes.bsky.social/post/3muinvxxs5t2jJust updated my Ko-fi shop with a handful of services for developers looking to polish their Vertical Slices before the big day. Quick reviews, deeper UX reviews, and pitch readiness checks are now available. This has absolutely nothing to do with the upcoming Steam Next Fest. Nope.

So now I'm definitely intrigued 👀 If you submitted a game, let me know! I might be putting together a little article about the jam. #UXQA #IndieDev #wannajam29 Aug 2026 00:40 +0000at://did:plc:bf2lvdrtuvboblwtbuzgotfb/app.bsky.feed.post/3mu6nbmqv252khttps://bsky.app/profile/lourdes-localizes.bsky.social/post/3mu43gaxog52xToday I wanted to talk about how I somehow ended up doing Japanese localization for Mage vs. Demons. Dev: Hey, you did a good job with the QA review. Wanna translate this cool game into Japanese? Me: Okay! ...Yeah. That was pretty much it.

But, sometimes, unexpected errors get in the way, and each of them is an excuse for the player to close the game.
