LocSIG – AMA Building a Localization Studio From The Void with Marc Eybert-Guillon
2023-04-21 19:00 - 20:00 (Europe/Paris) | YouTube – IGDA LOcSIG
Building a Localization Studio From The Void
The IGDA LocSIG is happy to announce that Marc Eybert-Guillon, director of the localization studio From The Void, will join us for our next live AMA!
Marc has been working as a professional game translator since 2017. Known (a little) at the start for having reworked some of Darkest Dungeon 1’s French loc, he created in 2020 a studio called From the Void out of ADHD boredom at being just a freelancer, as well as growing frustration towards the state of the industry. He’s been improvising as he goes along, but so far it’s not gone too badly.
We will be live on April 21st, 7 p.m. (CEST) on the IGDA LocSIG YouTube channel, this is a public event, you can share this and invite anyone you would like to attend it, everyone is welcome!

Leveraging Text to Speech as a Game Dev - Clash of the Use Cases
2022-12-06 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0od-GhrTkjGt1PxsizL9bD8cV4rU8pwxYs
Register for the webinar here.
Event Details
A friendly contest? Why yes! In this IGDA webinar, three game devs will champion their use case of text to speech (TTS) in their games.
Namely: Accessibility, Character Voices, and Prototyping.
A refresher: text to speech is what it says in the name, you write or generate a piece of text, and almost magically, with voice technology it synthesizes it into speech.
A good example of that is (smart) voice assistants that roam the tech space today or some of your favorite streamers that use TTS to voice-enable chat messages i.e. when receiving donations.
With dynamic runtime TTS embedded in a game project, game devs can harness that power of voice in their games and utilize it in many creative ways.
Learn more from Jamin, Cari, and Conor about how they used this dynamic solution to elevate their games and processes.
*This is webinar brought to you by IGDA in partnership with ReadSpeaker.

Refactoring code to manage sessions, event structures, and changing the way calls are made will cost you release cycles and significant data loss. In this webinar, we’ll cover three topics to help you avoid these issues: (1) million dollar mistakes to avoid when storing data for your games; (2) tips and tricks seasoned gaming companies employ to become 10x more efficient; and (3) core infrastructure components you should implement before hiring your analytics and data teams.
If you can build games with a data architecture plan from the start, you will save time, money, and headaches. Everyone on your team from data analyst to executive will thank you for making their job a little easier.
