In a traditional environment with localization as one of the final steps in project workflows, linguistic demands are often at odds with the realities of development schedules and budgets. In this presentation, Capcom localization director Wesley Bishop examines their integrated approach to localization for the Resident Evil series and discuss how it allowed them to tackle the specific needs of Resident Evil 4, a game developed simultaneously in English, Japanese, and Spanish. Topics include narrative design and scriptwriting; location, environment, and sound design localization; and tips and best practices that can be incorporated into projects with even more traditional localization workflows.
Attendees of this workshop can expect to walk away with tips and localization best practices that were used during the development of Resident Evil 4 (2023), a unique project due to its Japanese, English, and Spanish localization environment. Attendees will be given examples of the challenges encountered and the solutions that were used to overcome them, as well as an inside look into Capcom's philosophy of early localization integration and how similar workflows can be used to improve communication between teams and the ultimate quality of their projects.
This presentation is for anyone interested in learning more about Capcom's localization workflow and/or the potential localization challenges involved with the multilingual game development. No prior knowledge or expertise required.
