A few months ago, I ported Cogs from a custom C++ engine I wrote in 2008 to Unity. That\'s made the game easier to maintain and also opened the doors to make it easier to localize to East-Asian languages. I\'m happy to announce that today\'s build makes Cogs available in Chinese, Japanese and Korean and also fixes some of the text rendering bugs in Russian.\n\nAs always, feedback is appreciated! If you see bugs or bad translations, let me know by sending feedback to support@lazy8studios.com.\n\nIf you want to try a translation without changing the language at the operating system level, just type one of these cheat codes from the main menu:\n\n

\n
• English = \"langen\"\n
• Chinese = \"langzh\"\n
• Japanese = \"langja\"\n
• Korean = \"langko\"\n
• German = \"langde\"\n
• Spanish = \"langes\"\n
• French = \"langfr\"\n
• Italian = \"langit\"\n
• Dutch = \"langnl\"\n
• Polish = \"langpl\"\n
• Portuguese = \"langpt\"\n
• Russian = \"langru\"\n

As I ported Cogs from the old 2009 engine to Unity, it was too much to get all to old localization files working at the same time.

I took some time over the last few weeks to completely overhaul the font rendering system, allowing me to offer Cogs in all these languages!

• English
• German
• Spanish
• French
• Italian
• Dutch
• Polish
• Portuguese
• Russian
  

• English = "langen"
• German = "langde"

I recently took some time to port Cogs over to an entirely different code base -- from a custom C++ engine I wrote 16 years ago to C# on Unity. Thanks to a few folks on the forums who have helped me hunt down some launch-day bugs and encouraged me to support the legacy Cloud Save data.

This version should be better in just about every way -- snappier, higher-resolution, and more aligned with modern APIs.

For now, it's available in English only. Don't hesitate to send bugs and feature requests to support@lazy8studios.com

Hey, Mountain Lion users -- thanks for your patience while we worked around some bugs in the OSX 10.8 graphics drivers. With the newest changes, I've fixed the flickering borders that could sometimes show up in fullscreen mode. I also modified shadow rendering to bypass a graphics driver bug that was causing a really tragic crash.
