When you have two million words worth of Eastern fantasy adventure to translate – and make accessible – to English-speaking gamers, where the hell do you start? The NCSoft team sounds off on the monumental task of localizing a game like Aion.

***

WC: First of all, would you care to introduce yourselves?

Marti: Marti McKenna, Creative Writing Lead and game industry vet.

Fran: I’m Fran Stewart. I’ve only been paid to write for a little while, but I’ve always been a storyteller.

Dave: I’m David Noonan. In a previous life, I played Dungeons & Dragons for a living.

Bridget: Bridget McKenna here. Science Fiction and Fantasy writer and editor, been doing this computer games stuff for about 21 years.

Robin: I’m Robin MacPherson. I’m the fledgling of the team.

Janna: I’m Janna Silverstein. I’ve been a professional science fiction and fantasy editor and writer for longer than I care to admit.

Stacey: I’m Stacey Janssen. I’m a writer and the Editor-in-Chief for an online SF magazine.

Jess: I’m Jess Downs, the walking encyclopedia of Aion.

Conor: Agh, I’m Conor Sheehy, the guy who got to pick last on the colour front. And yes, that’s “colour”. Been a writer for NCsoft for a year and a half now, and recently moved from our Brighton office to Seattle!

Daneen: I’m Daneen McDermott, an eleven year veteran of the gaming industry. And Conor, I prefer “ultimate” not last – that makes you penultimate, by the way.

Conor: Sweet. Penultimate kinda works as a compliment for a writer. I just hope Scott doesn’t come back and ruin everything. Or Erik.

Erik: I’m Erik Bear, son of the science fiction writer Greg Bear, first time writing in the gaming industry.
