Who is Locapublish for?
Whether you’re a first-time crowdfunder or an established studio with a backlist, Locapublish helps you validate demand before committing to production.
“Locapublish is not built to replace established localization pipelines. It is built for publishers who do not yet have one.”
Track 1
Indie & crowdfunding publishers
You have a game. You’ve shipped one or two projects, maybe through Kickstarter or Gamefound. You’re hearing language requests in your community — but you don’t know if the demand is real enough to justify a localized print run.
- Validate language demand before committing to translation costs
- Understand which countries and buyer types are actually interested
- Get a clear signal: language pack, low-MOQ print, or partner pitch
- Keep your backers and community informed with a live demand page
- No existing pipeline required — we help you build the case from scratch
Track 2
Established publishers with a backlist
You have a catalogue. Some titles went out of print, missed certain territories, or were never localized. You want data before committing to a reprint or licensing deal — not gut instinct.
- Reprint and backlist validation across new territories
- Identify real retail and distributor interest before printing
- Assess late pledge and availability demand for older titles
- Separate localization demand from general reprint interest
- Use verified signals in pitch conversations with potential licensees
What signals can you collect?
A signal is not just a vote. It combines language, country, buyer type and purchase intent.
Localization demand
Players requesting a specific language edition — verified by country and buyer intent
Reprint demand
Interest in a new print run of an out-of-print or hard-to-find title
Language pack interest
Demand for a standalone rules/component translation without a full reprint
Corrected edition / errata
Interest in a revised printing addressing known errors or improvements
Retail availability / late pledge
Retailers and distributors signalling interest in stocking or carrying a title
Partner licensing interest
Localization studios and local publishers expressing licensing intent
How we handle signal data
Email is used for verification only. We do not sell contact data or pass it to third parties as a mailing list.
Signal data is shared structurally with the publisher and any vetted partners involved in a deal conversation — not as raw contact exports.
Signals are used to assess market potential and facilitate connections. No production is guaranteed by a signal alone.
If a deal is facilitated, Locapublish takes a percentage of the deal value. Listing and signal collection are always free.
