[p]This summer has started with some awesome news, and we’re glad to share it with you.[/p][p][/p][p]Some time ago, we asked our players from all over the world to help us translate Deathless into foreign languages. And now we can officially announce that Spanish (Español de España) is coming to our game![/p][p]The translation was performed by Antonio Reyes, also known as asperet. He has not only translated and adapted all the game content, but also participated in testing.[/p][h3]We, the Deathless dev team, would like to express our gratitude to Antonio Reyes for the work he’s done and for his contribution to the development of our game! [/h3][p]Antonio specializes in localization of games in different genres. You can learn more about his portfolio here: http://asperet.byethost10.com[/p][p]If you’d like to play Deathless in your native language, we invite you to become a volunteer and help us expand the game’s linguistic diversity. Please send us an email to discuss possible partnership: [email protected][/p][p][/p][p]And we also celebrate another important event: one year has passed since the Deathless. The Hero Quest early access release! The game has come a long way since then, and we’re happy to share the results with you.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for supporting Deathless and staying with us all this time![/p]
