[Yves Le Yaouanq @Ubikh]

One of the most important thing when getting a deal close to being signed : anticipate when and where to celebrate & rejoice all together.
Not joking : the quality of trust & relation between Dev & Pub will show in the end on the game somehow, and then to players :)

Indeed, great @Polygon column on the absolute amazing job that @riotloc did on #ChantsOfSennaar by @rundisc_ & @Focus_entmt !

[rundisc (closed account) @rundisc_]

A very cool column from Polygon, giving credit to the excellent translators who worked on the (obviously) complex localization of Chants of Sennaar.
