Team17 and Locadile announce Partnership

Helping bring the wonders of running a shop on a dinosaur island to as many as possible

03/10/24 –  Locadile and Team17 Digital have today announced a language localisation partnership. Working on Ambertail Games’ highly anticipated Amber Isle, Locadile and Team17 look forward to bringing beautiful and creative products to games through freedom in translation. Locadile have previously worked on The Making of Karateka, The Knight Witch, Pixelshire, Against the Storm, Bramble: The Mountain King, Dredge – The Iron Rig, Clone Drone in the Danger Zone and have brought high quality translation to games, tailored to local culture and language.

Tommy Nordkvist, Locadile Founder:

Locadile have loved collaborating with Team17 and Ambertail Games on this amazing project. We‘ve been inspired by the freedom we were allowed, and our amazing linguists have poured their creative talent into a very charming end-product. From the very beginning of this project, there was a profound sense of understanding and an earnest commitment to building trust between the teams. Being given the opportunity to work this closely together, we were allowed to put all of our experience and processes to work on another of Team17’s many original, creative and cherished games.

We wish Team17 and Ambertail Games all the best with the launch of this splendid game.

James Keeley, Team17 Localisation Manager:

“Amber Isle is a much-loved title at Team17, and with 48 bespoke Paleofolk and over 100,000 words, it was crucial we partnered with a quality localisation partner. Locadile absolutely delivered, providing a creative and personal service while understanding the needs of indie development. From translating poems, to localising Queer themes, we are thrilled to bring Amber Isle to a wider, global audience.”
