"It was fantastic to work with Wagnelles Barbosa on Book of Demons translation! He is an excellent English-Brazilian Portuguese translator and proofreader with a very positive attitude towards work. Without his help, we wouldn't be able to approach our Brazilian fanbase the correct way! I can recommend him without doubts to every game developer, especially those who value their time and money.”
