MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE
My biggest challenge was capturing the distinct personalities of the game's female cast and adapting them seamlessly into everyday Brazilian Portuguese. Each character brings a unique voice to the story, requiring careful tone differentiation to balance casual, conversational banter with the emotional weight of a protagonist navigating a career-ending setback. I focused heavily on transcreation to ensure the dialogue felt authentic to contemporary Brazilian speech while preserving the character dynamics, emotional depth, and narrative pacing that drive the game forward.
