XLOC

Perfected over 20 years, XLOC is an enterprise-grade, games-native content management system (CMS) and version control solution designed specifically to support the transfer of text, audio, and image assets from game engines directly through to production. Engineered in partnership with hundreds of AAA and AA game developers, it serves as the ultimate single source of truth for internal production teams and external suppliers alike.

By unifying your workflows across development, Function QA (FQA), Localization (LOC), Audio Localization (ALOC), and Localization QA (LQA), XLOC removes the operational bottlenecks that delay major game launches.

Key Capabilities

• Complete Version Control & Real-Time Tracking: XLOC preserves every detail of your asset history, enabling development and localization teams to react instantly to changes. Teams maintain total visibility over text modifications, source volumes, language scopes, and live localization statuses across every batch and build.
• Seamless, Multi-Disciplinary Workflows: Unlike general CMS platforms that only handle developer updates, XLOC provides full, out-of-the-box infrastructure specifically designed to support the distinct requirements of FQA, LOC, Audio LOC, and LQA teams under a single environment.
• End-to-End Asset Integration: Link audio and scripts natively. With zero manual file handling required, audio payloads and text assets can be distributed to suppliers with a single click, delivering real-time progress tracking and eliminating manual process risks.
• Automated Verification & Compliance: Deploy custom automated checks, terminology reporting, and pre-checks on your source assets and scripts. Build specialized databases for profanities and sensitive words to automatically generate compliance reports for age rating and classification teams.
• 100% Passed InfoSec: Built for the world's most demanding production environments, XLOC has been fully verified and passed by major AA and AAA developers to ensure uncompromising protection for unreleased intellectual property.
• Scalable Volume with Predictable Costs: Localize all your text and audio assets in one centralized hub without the fear of creeping budgets—no charges are applied based on your asset volumes.

Flexible Content Pipelines & Automated Integration

XLOC integrates directly into your existing development workflows, accommodating varied entry points for your narrative, production, and marketing teams:

1. Automated APIs & Engine Connectors: Synchronize asset changes and complex repository branching automatically by connecting XLOC directly via API to your game engines (such as Unreal Engine 5 or Unity) and source control systems (like Perforce).
2. SimpleSync via AWS S3: Mirror WAV, CSV, JSON, and PO files into an AWS S3 bucket from any local studio system. Content is pulled dynamically into XLOC on a customized cadence, fast-tracking onboarding for new studios and IP without manual upload tasks.
3. Robust Google Sheets Connector: Dynamically pull marketing copy and game content in real-time or based on specific workflow status filters.
4. In-Tool Content Creation: Empower narrative teams to author content directly inside XLOC, which automatically generates a unique ID for all text strings the moment they are created.
5. Localization Tool Integration: Seamlessly push content from XLOC into major Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools like MemoQ for AAA pipelines, or route mobile and Games-as-a-Service (GaaS) titles through advanced Language AI solutions such as STREAM.
