⋮ My dream is to bring games to as many people as possible in their own language. Videogame localization in Portugal is still a small field reserved almost exclusively for AAA games made by big companies. My goal is to help smaller developers make their work available to more players, and give Portuguese players the choice to play in their own language instead of English or Brazilian Portuguese.
