'Wait for me, my Czech friend': Japanese dev adds Czech localization just for the one Steam user who wishlisted his game in the Czech Republic
The international spirit of baseball and friendship might frown on the method, though.
A lone wishlisting Czech fan inspired Japanese developer Eba Game to add Czech language support to their upcoming Steam game, Ball Boy Simulator. The developer explained his motivation on X, noting that the recent World Baseball Championships had shown the Czech Republic's respect for baseball and Japan. Despite the game's psychological horror depiction of high school baseball clubs, the developer's intention was to honor that Czech baseball fan by implementing the language support.
The Steam listing hints at how Czech language support might be implemented, mentioning AI-generated content being used for various game assets.
