Word Up Dog: Localizin’

Written by

I’m porting my Flash spelling game Word Up Dog to mobile… again. Last time I failed to get it running fast enough so I put the release off for a year in the hopes tech would improve. It has! This time I’m using Flash’s Stage3D and the results are way better – this game just cruises across the screen now, smooth like buttah.

I’ve teamed up with Sara Gross (Two Bit Art) to imbue heaps more mojo into the characters and art. Check out her concept art:

The dog in his crib

Mo' Monkey

And this time rather than relying on Google Translate for my French and German localization, I’m trying out new crowdsourcing services Ackuna and Crowdin. If you’d like to help and speak French or German please jump in there and make some suggestions!

    Awesome news!

    Sarah, is there a framework you normally use to develop your non-Stage3D games? Something you would recommend to somebody new to AS3?

    I have been looking into Haxe recently, as well, but it seems that the environment is not mature enough, since professionals like you are still not using it.

    Thanks for your awesome games and for the amount of information in this blog!

      More and more pros are switching to Haxe so it’s becoming a viable competitor, but my next project (Rebuild 3)’s going to be Stage3D/Starling again. I don’t use any other frameworks but can recommend either Flixel or FlashPunk which are both pretty easy for beginners.

    Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

    Thanks for your write-up on this web site. From my own experience, there are times when softening right up a photograph might provide the digital photographer with an amount of an artistic flare. Sometimes however, that soft clouds isn’t exactly what you had in your mind and can quite often spoil an otherwise good snapshot, especially if you intend on enlarging this.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could definitely be one of the greatest in its niche. Superb blog!

    Thanks for the different tips shared on this blog site. I have realized that many insurance agencies offer buyers generous discounts if they decide to insure a couple of cars with them. A significant variety of households have got several vehicles these days, specifically those with more mature teenage children still residing at home, plus the savings on policies might soon begin. So it is a good idea to look for a good deal.
