I though that ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ was being done by an Italian or French developer…let me do some research

[EDIT] – The publisher is French – yay I win:

Why do these Irish games companies keep soooo quiet????

http://www.frogwares.net is working fine.

Definately Irish. Aphra? Anyone?

Link problem was a comma, it’s fixed now, frogwares.com works

Yup ‘.com’ works now…must have been server prob along the line.

I dunno – is this not just a subsidiary of a French company, rather than an Irish owned company?

All the games just seem…….French….plus the name ‘frogwares’ – self deprecating?

Got a mail back from them there…their main base is in the Ukraine. Didnt say much else.

Might do no harm to invite them out to one of the shindigs, see what they’re actually up to.

Jamie

[Aphra K]

already done…me thinks I’ve met one of them somewhere before actually..the Ukraine bit strikes a cord…

Sounds like they are the company that took over MS’s localisation from Sandyford. It is gone from there now, yes?

[Jamie Mc]

Sounds about right. As far as I’m aware, there is another localisation company around Blackrock in Dublin, I remember reading something about them doing the European language version of one of the Final Fantasy Games.
