LOC + NARRATIVE + VO + LQA

LOC + NARRATIVE + VO + LQA

too weird to live but too cool to die.

The answers

  • Dragonbaby is a “creative outsourcing solution”...which is business-speak for a bunch of weirdos who throw words around. We create, we write, we localize, we test, we record – and we are damn good at it.

    We work on the industry’s weirdest, spookiest, and narrative-est games, and the teams we work with are face-slapping, genre-defying, and most of all NICE.

    In return we give you very best words possible and make players worldwide skip around their consoles in pure unadulterated glee (…we assume).

  • Our team and is an in-region Asia specialist handling both Japanese and English-source titles into all Steam languages.

    We offer localization as well as narrative services, original writing, VO recording, casting, and direction, LQA, and project management for titles of all sizes - AAA, AA, and indie!

    We revel in all things bone-grinding, bloodletting...and generally just freaky little games for freaks.

  • The gaming industry deserves better - better conditions, better rates, better work/life balance.

    Dragonbaby was founded with a human heart and to this day is transgender-led, fully supporting inclusion and representation for all. Our team also stands proudly at the forefront of #TranslatorsInTheCredits and exists as an alternative to the rampant greed and sloppification of our industry.

    plus we really just like to have a nice time. ⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂)⸝❤︎

  • Dragonbaby was founded by loc legend Jeremy Blaustein and co-founded by the dubiously reputable Sam Burton.

    Four goat sacrifices and a sprinkle of good intentions later...Dragonbaby was hatched to bring the best to games in a way that helps make our industry a better place.

  • We aren’t cheap…but nothing good is!

    We are committed to fair rates for all, which is why our prices are custom quoted based on team and title - AAA, AA, and indie.

    …But that doesn’t mean we need a mountain of gold. Be communicative, transparent, and tell us what you need, and we can discuss what works best for you, your game, and your budget.

  • Our core team is based in Japan with specialists located in China, Taiwan, Korea, and around the world.

    Specifically, you can find us at… Suite 302, 3-39 Banzai-cho, Kita-ku, Osaka.

Games we have touched

  • Kepler Interactive

    When working with actual real life dragons,
 I was pleasantly surprised to find that rather than turning our titles into Monster Hunter meat platters they instead provided us with nuanced, considered localizations that have been met with high praise from players in those languages.

    Sam, who speaks for the dragons, is a wonderful interpreter and was always quick to raise and resolve queries to keep us on track. Overall we were thrilled to team up with fellow fire-enjoyers and can't wait for our next encounter.

  • Devolver Digital

    How shall I explain how hard the Dragonbaby crew rocks? 
    The fine team of people manning this celestial creature are linguistic experts, crafting excellent, on point, funny, weirdly excellent, weirdly on point & weirdly funny translations. 


    We at Devolver love that. I also enjoy the excellent communication whenever I come up with a wacky translation request, with an even wackier timeline. Always proactive, always ready to get in the robot and protect the human race. So thank you Dragonbaby, for rocking our Loc world with awesomeness. 

  • Ysbryd Games

    These guys are champions of innovation, freaky little freaks who thrive on raising the bar for localization. We publish games with unique identities and strong narrative threads, and the Dragons consistently match our vibes - no matter how weird or nuanced, often drawing compliments from our player base!

    Aside from that, the project management that Dragonbaby provides is a lifesaver. Clear, flexible, and communicative even across time zones, the Dragons are ready... So, if you're looking for a creative partner who thrives outside the norm, is fantastically creative, and won't let you down... You need the Dragons.
