Howdy Chocolatiers! Captain Contraptions Chocolate Factory may be our fourth game but its the first one we have tried to localise. We want as many people as possible to enjoy our game and since we do not have the budget for human translation we thought a Google Translation would be better than nothing. Unfortunately, many of you have fed back that the translations in the game at the moment are less than ideal - frankly a machine will never do as good a job as a human. Our plan was (and still is) to use the income we generate from the game to pay for professionals to complete the translations. Unfortunately the reality of being a small game on Steam is that it will take us a long time to generate the funds we need to do this effectively. This has led us to consider alternative strategies for completing the localisation. To our surprise weve had a number of you offering to translate the game for us - which is incredible - but until today we havent had any tools to allow this or a reasonable way to compensate volunteers for their work. Today we are announcing that we are teaming with Localizor, an online crowd translation tool where players can help translate text in games in exchange for coins that can be redeemed into Steam keys. We are really excited to try Localizor out with you all. This is how it works:
- Head over to Localizor and sign up
- Pick a game you want to help translate (ideally Captain Contraptions Chocolate Factory, but there are lots of other projects you can support)
- Either translate text or vote on suggestions of translations.
- When you have earnt enough coins head to the Localizor shop and redeem them for a Steam key!

Design and build machines to solve automation puzzles.
Using a simple set of tools, create machines to automate the production of Captain Contraption’s chocolates. Launch some nuts into melted chocolate to make your favourite snack, smash caramel against a wall to make bite size bits, and crank-up the E numbers by adding food colouring to everything. Each puzzle has as many solutions as you have ideas.
Watch, and then optimise your oddly satisfying contraptions.
Since every process in the game is simulated using physics, it is easy to understand how your machine is working – but almost impossible to stop watching it. When you can finally tear yourself away from your monitor, you’ll want to share your contraption with friends… and then optimise it together!
Create your own challenges and share them with your friends and the community
We’ll give you the same, easy-to-use, level editor we use to build the game to create your own automation challenges. With Steam Workshop support included at launch it will be easy to share your puzzles with friends and the community. Compare the efficiency and complexity of your contraptions and solutions to other players with a leaderboard for every level.
If this sounds like your kind of fun, support us by adding Captain Contraption’s Chocolate Factory to your wishlist and following the store page. This shows us that you are interested in the game and gets us closer to launching the full game. After you have done that, try the demo, have a play and let us know what you think!
