If you add me on Steam, I can put you in my translation contacts!

That's really kind of you! Honestly I thought you were just going around game forums advertising your translation services.

For my future project, it's not certain what words will need to be translated yet so I'm not able to send it through yet. But if you follow the developer hub, hopefully steam will notify when it's closer to release!

Hi!

I originally used professional translation services such as Gengo. However I quickly discovered from players that most of their translations just came from google translate, even when you add all the 'special packages and checks' to ensure a high quality translation.

So now if I need a translation I'll just use chatGPT to get base translations, and then community volunteers will make corrections to it until it's right. Honestly, most corrections are tiny, chatGPT is really good at translation.

I don't think I'd pay for translation in the future, except in special circumstances, as there isn't really any way for me to verify that they didn't just use the free translation services themselves (until it's too late).

Thank you for your offer to help though! I have a fairly large project coming up that will come built in with the ability for the community to create their own translations without my intervention. If you'd be interested in translating it to Polish, that would be really helpful

Hello! Commissioned the Bees just popped up on my Discovery queue and I gotta ask Follow The Fun, where have you been all my life?! I've been playing HOGs for decades :)
I completed the Bees game and filled out the little survey at the end and suggested baby elephants but I see SophieSkyrim1984 already did, so I cross my fingers, eyes and toes that comes in the future. But how about aliens & a space theme? Thanks for all your wonderful work dev!

Thank you so much for playing, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it! If you like space and aliens I know there are many artworks with this theme spread throughout the series. I agree it would be ideal to have it all in one place.

I think it would come in the form of UFOs and cows.

Which is your favourite animal so far?

But looking at the calendar, I suspect the release date will be something like March 15th 2024.

If you go on the "upcoming releases" tab you'll see the schedule: https://store.steampowered.com/franchise/ICommissionedSome

we have a lot of cats to publish first

i was thinking dragons too but i think dragons might be too big of a creature.

Dragons is a great idea, I agree they're big but I think they allow the artist to get creative with where they put them, for example just a tail sticking out, a neck with some scales, or a foot.

An underwater theme one with fish would be cool too

Yes of course, I know all your ideas are here!

Baby elephants sounds cute! I'll do an announcement and ask what sort of things people would like to see

You really love your fantasy themes don’t you! I wonder if we could do unicorns, would that be of interest? I can’t remember if it was already suggested
