Please add Ukrainian to Viewfinder // Будь ласка, додайте українську до Viewfinder

[Max Y-Grec]

Hello dear devs of SOS!

I've already made a tweet here, where I asked you to add Ukrainian.

---

So, just to reiterate: on behalf of the community of Ukrainian gamers, I want to ask you to add Ukrainian language to Viewfinder.

Developers usually add ru-language for the post-soviet countries in order to save money, however, playing in ru-language has recently become a really traumatic experience for a lot of Ukrainian gamers. Moreover, there are still not enough Ukrainians who know English well. Language barrier can be especially hindering, if we talk about a puzzle game, which requires good understanding of a foreign language.
This is why we're asking for adding our native language to this game.

Of course, it will be beneficial for you as well:

1. You will certainly increase your sells in Ukraine. We as a growing community are already your potential buyers and as soon as your game gets the Ukrainian localization, we will spread the news about it as far as we can in order to attract even more gamers. You can see the statistics of Steam and observe that the number of gamers who prefer playing in Ukrainian as well as the number of titles that contain Ukrainian text has skyrocketed in the last 2 years. Moreover, Ukrainian gamers are very avid and loyal and there is even a website[kuli.com.ua] that tracks the games available in Ukrainian.
   
   
2. You will gain good reputation as friends of Ukraine and overall as responsive developers. The publisher you work with has already released one game with Ukrainian in it: Planet of Lana. I believe by adding Ukrainian we are not entering uncharted waters in this case. Furthermore, it will show your other fans that you are ready to communicate and improve their gaming experience.
   
   
3. You will join the global trend of inclusivity and multiculturalism. There are a lot of both AAA games, like Cyberpunk and Hades 2, and small indie games, like Influent, Streets of Rage 4 and How to Escape 2, that will add or have added Ukrainian.

If you are considering adding Ukrainian, but still looking for a reliable translation studio, there are great Ukrainian localization teams such as UnlocTeam[unlocteam.com] and SBT aka Шлякбитраф[sbt.localization.com.ua].
There are also a lot of amateur translator communities that make unofficial language packs, so, if you want to save money you can contact me and we can discuss gathering a team of volunteer translators including myself.

We would appreciate any sort of feedback from you, both positive and negative.

Best regards,

Max and the community of Ukrainian gamers

I really liked this game, but I had some problems because I don't know English that well. Please add Ukrainian so that more people from Ukraine can fully enjoy the game. Especially this warm atmosphere. It helps a lot in times like these.

Dear Sad Owl Studios,
your game Viewfinder looks like a game where you can fully dive into another world. It would be amazing if you could add Ukrainian text to Viewfinder so more people you fully enjoy it.
There are amazing Ukrainian Localization Studios which could help you doing so. For example:
- sbt https://sbt.localization.com.ua/en/home/
- unlocteam https://unlocteam.com/
Really looking forward to a Ukrainian Localization
Best wishes
