Hi all, Today's update it's pretty big in many ways, so let's get started on what's new.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND CLOUD SAVES:

Starting today, in-game achievements will be linked to Steam's achievements for the game. All 71 of them. Also, we have enabled cloud save. It should work, but our testing (due to just having two development computers) has been limited, so please report if you find issues here.

CUTSCENES

the first interstitial cutscenes (when you finish the tutorial) is in with final art. There are still more to come, but it's good to finally see how these are going to play out.

SOUND WORK

Many new sounds, all over the place. There is still work to do in this area, but the game is sounding better (and more) than before.

THIRD LEVEL REVAMP

There has been a decent rework of the third level's pace and generation. Should play much better now, and we killed many bugs in the process of building it. Please, let us know what you think!!!

CHINESE LOCALIZATION WIP

Not yet in game, but Chinese text is working and we only need to change the (already translated) text strings. More languages will start appearing very soon.

BUGFIXES

Many, many bugfixes. A partial list:

• Eclipse doesn't work.

• [K-BIT] Sometimes the door of the first weapon quest does not open.
• Improve alarm sound in First Weapon Room
• Explorer hat remembers upgrades between runs in the same session

...and many more that where not listed and fixed as found. But since this is a hefty update on many internal structural issues, we might have introduced a few new or previously unknown bugs. Please, keep reporting everything you find to us. You guys have been awesome testers, and if the game is (finally) getting stable is thanks to you!!!

TO DO TILL CONTENT COMPLETE

Basically, we are still missing: -Level 3 music (almost made the cut for this build, but still not there). -Cutscene images for levels 1, 2 and 3. After that we would be content complete, although we will still keep polishing and improving some character/weapons as we progress on the ports. But this is what is missing for a build we consider as the first time the game was complete. So close....
