About Awesome Games

Awesome Games Studio is a passionate team of PC, console, and mobile game developers behind such hits as Yet Another Zombie Defense HD, its sequel Yet Another Zombie Survivors, and Fury Unleashed. Their team takes pride in creating games that they themselves love to play.

Challenges Faced

The team at Awesome Games Studio faced significant challenges in localizing their games for a global audience, especially when dealing with traditional translation agencies. The process often involved sending multiple e-mails and managing various middlemen, which was a time-consuming process prone to errors, such as lost e-mails. The studio was also dissatisfied with the usual week-long periods it took to receive the translations. These challenges demotivated the team and hindered their ability to efficiently localize their games, especially in the early access development model.

Nitro's® Benefits for Awesome Games

Efficient Process

Nitro enabled Awesome Games Studio to localize their game content, including marketing materials and in-game texts, more efficiently. The quick order turnaround time freed the team up to focus on other aspects of game development.

Quality Translations

The studio maintained the same high-quality translations as with traditional agencies. The game's narrative and content retained their original charm and engagement in multiple languages.

Reduced Workload

Awesome Games was able to significantly reduce the workload associated with the localization process. They could now submit translation requests directly through the platform, even for just a few strings of text, without the extensive back-and-forth communication.
