Here we are!
After two years of development, the major stepping stones I set for the game to exit EA are now reached:
*You can now play the Northern Expedition scenario!
*You can now also play on your Linux and Mac computers.
I will push the publish button this evening around 6pm hour of Paris.
I am sure you will have a lot of fun with the game.
It offers deep and complete content, with a high replay value.
Have fun!

What I will be working on now?
I will work at a slower path for some weeks now, seeing friends and reading good books.
My next "big" project will certainly be made on Godot Egine, so I will take the time to get familiar with that engine.
I will probably make 1 or 2 small games with Godot to get used to it.
I am not sure what they will be about, but I already have some concepts and game titles I'd like to explore.
Would you play to a game called "Mad Men in Bunkers", or "Graal"?
When I feel confident enough with Godot, I will adapt Cold War 2 for PC.
What is planed for Rise of the White Sun?
The Chinese Community translation is still going on.
It is currently at 80% done, and the files are being reviewed for integration to the game.
As you know, chinese localisation may produce bugs for Chinese players, so, I will really take my time to limit the troubles.
I will take a month to slow down and ship only small patches and fixes.
Then I will try to make a nice content update.
(see just below)

Here are the 4 proposals:

-Steam achievements
-A pack of more characters available to any faction, comprising historical figures of adventurers, mercenaries, foreig nagents and old China hands.

They should work fine in any normal game context, but strange unintended interactions may occure.
Power cheats

megayollo:same as "yollo", but stronger
wearefamily: Maximum loyalty for your characters
tycoon: policies in all your districts progresses to 100%

they are more cheatcodes, but they are so oriented "debbug" that you won't be able to do anything useful with them.
