Publisher looking for help from native english speakers

tanuki · August 18, 2018

Hello, everybody and sorry for the poor english.

I am tanuki, director of Côté Gamers, à French publishing house which some of you may know as we published Knight'n more on colecovision last year in collaboration with Good Deal Games.

We want to publish our books in USA and worldwide but we need help.

We were able to get the first volume of our shooter encyclopedia translated, but we need help of native speakers to check the translation and improve it as we know it's far from being perfect.

As we have to pay for the translation, we'll have to make à KS campaign once the translation 100% validated. To work on a project like this one is very expensive.

We'll not be able to pay in advance for the help as we'll make near no money with the publishing. But we really are to offer a compensation to helpers :

-Of course they'll have copies of the book, in a special edition, very limited (we are talking about less than 20 copies).

-They'll have their name in the book as members of our team.

-we will offer copies of all the games we'll publish, FOREVER ! We have games for Mega Drive/ Genesis, Atari 2600, PC Engine Super CD-ROM, Colecovision, to be published this year and until the beginning of next year. All our games will come in box with high quality manual (please check Knight'n more to see we produce good quality).

-We will offer copies of our futur translated books.

We have many books to translate/ check and this one is only the first part of our publishing project.

Let's talk about the book.

Title is "the encyclopedia of shooter games - Vol.1 - The SNES"

It has 364 pages, full colours, A4 size (210 X 290mm), softcover, high quality paper (130gr).

You can see details on this page : http://www.cotegamers.com/boutique/index.php?id_product=34&controller=product

Each shooter has between 2 and 12 pages, depending on needs. Every games has : plot, introduction(s), ending(s), characters/ vehicles, upgrades/bonuses, weapons with pictures AND text. We talk about gameplay and level design,qualities and defaults and originality of the game.

Each stage, shortcut, cutscene and boss is shown with pics and text.

There is a special section for Homebrew games and a massive index to have references of everything related with a game.

We are working on the second volume, it'll be about PC-Engine/turbografx shooters.

Let's talk about our publishing house
