Introducing the Community Localization Initiative!
What is this?
As apart of an ongoing effort to improve the localization of Outpost 13, as well as provide easier information access and collaboration to forthcoming localization volunteers, I've created the "Community Localization Initiative" section on the forums. Only game owners can see or post in these forums.
How will this work?
Each one of the languages below will have their own thread in the forums featuring a dialogue script in English. As they are completed and approved, I will update the discussions as "completed."
Where?
(Here) As a reminder, only owners of the game will be able to see and/or make a post in this sub-forum.
Do I get anything if I help?
Those who contribute and are approved, even if it's just a single line, up until the localization for that language is marked as complete will receive a localization credit in the game's credits.*
Languages Needing Improved Localization
Russian
German
Spanish
Italian
French
Greek
Polish (being worked on)
Thank You!
I want to thank everyone in advance, for even considering helping with the localization effort! I'll also be taking font recommendations, if you have any license free fonts that you recommend! Thank you everyone for your ongoing patience, support and interest in Outpost 13. :)
~Max
* I and or Cantina Games and Entertainment have the right to decline the addition of any credit deemed inappropriate. Don't worry, you're probably ok. :)

When your keys are finally accredited via Humble, please feel free to give them away to Friends and Family.
I Sincerely apologize for the confusion and delay.
