Greetings!

  

We hope you're having a wonderful summer!  Our own has been off to a busy start.  

 

 

First of all, we announced a partnership with Operation Rainfall (oprainfall), to bring games from Japan to global markets.  As part of this initiative, oprainfall will be kicking off a poll soon to let gamers vote on the titles they'd like to see localized.  We will use these numbers to reach out to game developers and publishers, offering premium localization services at a special discount.  We are excited to share upcoming developments  with you. 

 

 

To find out more about this partnership, read oprainfall's announcement here


 

In addition, we initiated a webshow with Gaijin Goombah, whose own show explores culture in games.  Join Gaijin Goombah and LAIzer as the pair tackles widespread ignorance in game localization unleashed by the Fumon Clan:
