Greetings everyone! Were a couple of weeks late, but version 1.25.0.11 is ready to go. As mentioned in the last update, this build would take a while to create because of the time it takes to make video tutorials and all the little tedious translation text work that I had to do. I completed most of the later, but I still have some work to do with the former. The next build update, version 1.25.0.12, will also take a while to make, so dont panic if there isnt an update for 2-3 months again. This update contains 8 Video Tutorials and the basic infrastructure to deliver them. Weve also added full tutorial audio for French, as the translations are practically 100% finished. Ive also included partial tutorial audio for Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. I will refine the tutorial audio as the translations improve. The update also has over 30 bug fixes, including fixes to 4 different crash conditions. Unicode issues in Windows 10 caused most of these crash issues. Speaking of Unicode, I fixed Unicode columns alignment issues in lists. Ive also gone through the trouble of dynamically calculating how wide the columns should be. I hope this will reduce miss-aligned columns. Some work also went into getting the French translation text to fit in the GUI. This action means that I have rearranged some GUI to increase the amount of space for text. Version 1.25.0.12 will continue down the same path as v1.25.0.11. I will focus on finishing video tutorials. I may also slip these tutorials into small updates for v1.25.0.11 since I dont have to alter any game code to include them. Following that, I will finish some map content and do extensive play through testing on multiple systems to find and fix issues. One thing to note, I will not be rushing v1.25.0.12, or the full release build, 2.0.0.0. Sadly delays this year, mostly because of COVID, have pushed full release timing into Q4, which is the absolute worst time for Indies to release games. The full release will be in Q1, even if the game I finish within the next three months. All of this is just the semantics of removing the Early Access tag.
