Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a localization editor and writer who’s been in the game industry for going on 15 years(!) now. 50+ games, 4 countries, RPGs to fighters to quirky indies. This is the life for me~ #WhatAGameDevLooksLike

Got a new mug* to express my feelings for the square artifact bug in Final Draft that strikes without rhyme or reason. (*Essential localization tool: a ‘bug mug’)

@Twisted Wonderland book 6 out!

Sadly, it doesn’t seem like I can have anything too particular that would make me stand out. I can be a “cheerful” or “violent” “noblewoman,” but not a “cheerfully violent” “wine-loving” noblewoman. Hmmm…

It’s all happening…! I just got the email about my Kickstarter reward to “become an NPC” in the game. While I can’t write my own dialogue (🥲), I do get to ‘request’ the name, occupation, and personality. No mention of looks, tho. I thought I might have a little input there. 🤔

Today’s project: startling the cat over and over again as I try to time screams, cries, and maniacal laughter. I’m losing my voice, but it’s so worth it as payback for the hairballs. 😌

In Japan life, I’ve been hard at work. Looooots of research. 😁

After so long off Twitter I wondered if I’d missed anything, but it looks like business as usual. ☕️😅

See? I’m not dead. 😂 I do appreciate the concern, though. ❤️ I’ve even got my toast mitts out again because it’s cold. Might just have stuff to talk about soon too. Things are a happenin’~

Another day, another script where I have to sing the lines and probably annoy the neighbors. If you can sing or have even a smidgen of musical talent, I’m begging you to get into localization. We need you. 😂

I maintain that the best part of being at home is taking your tricky lines and knotty deliberations into the bath with you. #Localization

On my way home, but also on a Suikoden note… Holy Smokes Rune!!! #SuikodenRemaster

My, my, my #EiyudenChronicle #TGS2022

Pleasantly populated, chill atmosphere, nice 🎮 spread~ #TokyoGameShow

As handsome as one can on an iPhone 6 anyway. 😁

Fuji’s lookin’ very handsome today.

Obligatory on my way to #TokyoGameShow selfie. 🤪

I guess I'm 41 now. (I would like to thank my children for the very thoughtful Sanji scroll they got me that now hangs in the bedroom next to the wedding photos. 😂😂😂)

Hullo. Sorry for the radio silence, everyone. I'm not dead (nor cursed by the antler I found), but I have had extreme post-COVID insomnia, so I've been taking a break on a few things. I'll be catching up on stuff slowly but surely now, though. 😪

I’ve been away for Obon and in the mountains, so I apologize for late responses on things (🙏🏻), but while I have service at this conbini, look what I found on a walk!! 🤩

And to close it out, some sauce from Chuhai Labs~ #BitSummit

Some highlights from #BitSummit. Had a chance to try a fair few games. There are some real interesting contenders out or coming out soon! (And to whoever localized “fault - StP - LIGHTKRAVTE,” I can tell you had fun. 😁👍🏻)

Here to represent Class of ‘08 💪🏻🔥 #XSEED

Hanging out with

right now. 懐かしい… 🥲

The sexy

booth.

They turned up the lights a bit, but good gravy it was like a dungeon in here before.

I made it! #BitSummit GOOOOO…! 🎮

I would humbly request that they move Bit Summit to a less sticky time of year. 🙏

Getting ready for #BitSummit means 20lbs of local souvenirs for old workmates, the little red book, and an ukon no chikara. 💪🔥

As a game loc pro my body responds to screenshots like this the same way it responds to footage of skateboarders racking themselves in the nuts
