LoQAce

I started playing video games long before I could even speak English. And I started speaking English thanks to video games.

It would now add up to an almost 32 years long career as a video gamer, playing on several platforms and across countless genres.

I was also the weird kid playing charades and doing crosswords, instead of playing with dolls and collecting stickers. This is what probably brought me in 2013 to work as a freelancer, a content creator, and translator_

In 2017 I pressed start and entered the video games localization world.

Since then I have been working as a translator, editor, and LQA tester for some of the top-ranked localization companies in the gaming industry: Keywords Studios in Montreal, Quantic Lab in Romania, Localsoft in Spain, Glyph Language Services, AllCorrect Games, and several direct clients.

I worked on titles such as Assassin’s Creed, Project CARS2, Jumanji, Ice Age, Those Who Remain, and many more.

I remain a passionate gamer; my games list has reached title #181 and still counting_

Providing at least 20.000 words per week

Thoroughly checking my translations with Quality Assurance, spell and consistency check

Being crystal clear with the client and ensuring smooth communication

Keeping high-level security standards, a safe environment, and strong respect of NDAs

Never miss a deadline; I never did, and I am not going to start anytime soon

Client retention. My clients always ring twice (and more)_

Conveying the original taste of the script, no matter how hard it is.

Slang, kids content, violent and brutal dialogues, surreal humour, riddles, and jokes. You name it, you get it.

Wordplay and puns are my bread and butter, and I just can't get enough of it!_

My role is to take care of YOUR creature, to adopt it as if it was mine and make it thrive. Not only because my name will be on it, but mostly to hand you back a product that makes us all proud and satisfied.

Discussion is vital to delivering a successful localization. By maintaining smooth and clear communication about milestones, goals, and the script itself, together we will deliver the highest-standard adaptation for a foreign market, to reach more players and fulfil your objectives_

Point and click adventures, dialogue-driven explorations, and branched dialogues are my field of expertise.

In my portfolio, there are platforms, puzzles, shooters, battle royale, horrors, racing games, RPGs, action adventures, hidden objects, educational titles, and riddles/brainteasers.

Other things I am passionate about include nature, ethology, traditions and traditional music/dances, folklore, travel, ethnomusicology, Breton and Japanese culture_

If you got here, chances are you are a video game developer looking to reach the Italian market or an LSP expanding its candidate pool.

I'll be happy to meet you, understand your needs, and discuss a winning strategy!

No need to look further, make sure you get the right princess in your castle!
