Minami Lane (tuxdb.com)

6 new languages + full gamepad support 1.1 out now

Hey there This is the biggest update to Minami Lane since its release, and it brings two very requested additions: new languages and native gamepad support! We also added several visual and quality of life upgrades, reworked some stuff and fixed a lot of tiny sneaky bugs. Minami Lane should be cozier than ever now

6 new languages

Minami Lane is now available in a total of 7 languages:

English
French
German
Spanish
Portuguese (Brazilian)
Japanese
Simplified Chinese

Full Gamepad support

Minami Lane can now be played comfortably with a gamepad or on any handheld platform Like Steam Deck or ROG Ally. Xbox, Playstation and Steam Deck controllers will all show native input prompts, and other ones will use Xbox prompts. The "verified" tag for Steam Deck should come very soon!

Visual improvements

Comas, dots and apostrophes of Bodo Amat font are now a bit bigger.
Buttons text position is now a bit better.

QoL and other improvements

Minami Lane's size on disk is now almost 10 times smaller! With better assets management and compression, we went down from more than 2GB to around 235MB without any quality loss.
Loading times might be a tiny bit faster on some setups.
New buttons to move from one shop to another directly from the shop management panel.
New buttons to move from one building to another directly from the upgrade panel.

Bugs and fixes

Fixed several visual bugs on the upgrade buttons.
Fixed zoom sometimes not getting back to previous level after building selection or management.

Fixed villager's hitbox being active before they spawn. this caused the cursor to turn blue randomly and made some hidden objects or trash difficult to click on in some very specific situations.
Fixed tooltip placement with big cursor and unconventional resolutions.
Fixed several typos or gramatically incorrect sentences in the English version.
Fixed credits scene sometimes not showing exit button properly after credits ended.
Fixed mission skipping or weird bugs caused by multiple clicks on the "Next Mission" button.

Wow, this was a lot of work Minami Lane is now 3 months old, and we worked hard since the game released to make it as good as possible! The positive reviews and coverage of our little game is what gives us the energy to do so, so once again, to all our players: Thank you, we love you Doot and Blibloop
