Lady Tallowmere and her friends have learned to speak Simplified Chinese (简体中文), with thanks to Kai Shao.

Version 340 Changelog – 2 November 2016

New & Updated:

• Tallowmere is now built with Unity 5.4.2f1.
• Added internal support for multiple languages. For details about translating Tallowmere, please read the Localisation Support thread. The default language is English. Please note that weapons and loot acquired prior to v340 may retain their English names even if you change the language.
• Added Simplified Chinese (简体中文) as a selectable language. Translated by Kai Shao. Available in-game under Main Menu > Options > Languages.
• Updated the monthly leaderboard to November 2016.
• Added a slight glow around each Acid Trap skull.
• Converted the Tips & Tricks section to read data from local langauge files instead of requesting a file from Tallowmere's web server.
• Tamed the screen shake to be slightly smoother and less jarring for the shake duration.

Fixes:

• Fixed +Spiked Club Damage not being included in the loot rolls.
• Fixed an issue where +Base Damage numbers on new weapons were being rolled too low after loading a saved game.
• Fixed the Tips & Tricks section sometimes saying there was 1 new tip if you had read them all.
• Fixed screen tearing on Linux.
• Fixed mouse cursor showing erroneously on Linux. The cursor is now hidden and locked to the game window from the start. Opening the main menu by pressing Esc will release the cursor so you can click elsewhere on your desktop. Resuming the game will lock the cursor to the game again.

Known issues:

• It appears the text for "Version" on the title screen is not always respecting the selected language. The rest of the game seems to respect the language setting as intended. I am investigating now.

Indulge Lady Tallowmere and see how far through her lovingly violent dungeons you can delve in this 2D indie action roguelike-inspired platformer. New rooms are procedurally generated every time you play, meaning you'll have to be on your guard for every randomly-placed enemy, elite, boss, and treasure chest you'll come across.

Each room gets progressively bigger, harder, and more rewarding the further you go.

The concept is simple yet hard to master:

• Raise your shield to block enemy attacks.
  
• Lower your shield and strike your foes when the timing is right.
  
• Jump or move to avoid traps, or use your shield to reduce damage taken.
  
• Find the key to advance to the next room.
  
• Collect weapons, outfits, headgear, and shields of various rarities to aid your journey.
  
• Turn in souls from slain enemies to increase your base stats and passive abilities.
  
• Stay alive as long as you can!

Brace yourself as you learn the quirks of each foe, trap, and room type so you can strive for that "one more run" high-score victory! Each dungeon is infinite in length so it's up to you to push your limits; local scoreboards and online leaderboards let you track your greatest efforts.

Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Play with keyboard (and optionally mouse), or use your favourite gamepad/controller.

Tallowmere offers single-player and local co-op madness (up to 4 players) for fun frantic couch gaming.
