The developer, Nanopike, is looking for help with language translation for their game Galaxy Highways. The game is set to launch in April this year. They say they don't have enough funding to seek professional help for the translations and are asking if anybody in the community would help them out.
Since Nanopike can't pay for the translation, they are offering a free digital version of their game as well as a digital art book and coloring book and your name in the credits of the game. I think that's pretty cool. Now, I know it would be easy to complain and point out some argument that "they just want you to work for them for free" but I think if you're interested in the game, and you enjoy translating or would like to attempt to, it could be a fun and cool experience. I know I would do it if I could. I only know english. I suck. Also, you get to contribute to a game being made available for more players. It's an indie studio, not some major company, so I think this makes sense.
Galaxy Highways has a demo available. I still haven't played it yet. I followed them at some point cuz I thought the game looked cool and fun but I just haven't gotten around to trying it out yet is all.
For more information and details on how to start helping them with translating, here is their official announcement. If you're not familiar with these Steam announcements, you have to click on the thumbnail preview inside of the linked forum post to view the official details and information as a pop-out. Nanopike seems to be seeking all languages, well, a lot of them, so you can probably help out.
Galaxy Highways is described as follows: "An indie story-driven space shooter with intense battles, escalating enemy waves, and massive boss fights. Choose and upgrade ships, unlock powerful weapons, and protect your allies. Upgrade your base and construct a battleship to take on even stronger enemies. All set to a rock & synth soundtrack."
Thanks for reading. Game on.
