The title may seem redundant but it’s what literally happened with Mind and the language support and the patch we launched today. Nearly one month ago we launched a patch that fixed the translations of the game. It worked in our internal testing but once merged with a new build with more fixes the translations banished again. Later we will go deeper in the technical aspects but for those looking for what’s new, next you can find how the new language system works. In the Settings - Game menu you will find a new option called “Language”. Every time you click on it the game will be translated to a new language, click until you find yours.
Due to some problems with some languages the current supported languages are:

English
Russian
Português
Korean
Chinese
Italian
French
Euskara
Spanish
Deutsch
Japanese
Català

Later we will update the game to add the missing languages. Also, now the game ignores the language you selected on Steam, we will update the game to detect and configure the game accordingly in the future. On the positive side, Catalan and Basque people will be able to play the game without having to hack it ;)

Technical stuff

In the last announcement we talked about how the updates of your tools may cause problems. Well, this is a good confirmation of the theory. The last update fixed the language problem. We relied on some kind of hack of the Steam’s depot system that allowed us to overwrite the file that corresponds to the english translation of the game. Every time you switched from a language to another, Steam overwrites the english subtitles with a file with the texts on the selected language. And in fact, it was working correctly, the files are updating correctly right now, but for some reason, the texts ingame were in a perfect English. After some research it seems that the Unreal Engine translation system crashed and the game is not loading that file and it’s showing the default value for the the texts in the game (yes, English). Luckily Carlos is working in a new game and he developed a new translation system for it and finally we adapted it for Mind. That’s why we needed some time and that’s why it’s not fully functional, it’s a beta version of the translation system and it lacks some features (like getting the language you selected on Steam). Thanks for reading,

2014-08-05

Release

Indie Strategy Singleplayer

Change the entire environment!

Wrapped in a mind-bending tale, the gameplay of “MIND” focuses on changing the very weather in order to solve puzzles: the player will cycle between day and night, modify the levels of fog and rain and even travel in time between seasons, changing the environment to advance the gameplay-driven story —indeed, the mechanics are directly related to who the protagonist is, what has happened to him and everything he is doing: a man trapped in his own mind, he must use all the tools at his disposition to escape to reality. Accompanied by the snarky yet heartfelt narration of this comatose patient, the player will guide him through fantastical forests, dark caverns and deceptive worlds of water and ice that directly relate to his emotional state at each point in his journey.
