Ice Cave Changes!
In this patch we have addressed something that a lot of you have been asking for – changes to the stalactite corridor in the Ice caves. The stalactite corridor now has two lit platforms to stopover on, giving you easier ways to refill your grapple amount and a total of 3 rocket boots charges while navigating through the section. This should make it a little bit easier to get through, without taking away the challenge from those who wants it.
Localizations
Since we want to bring out languages with a faster pace, we have opted to bring out a few languages in a Beta stage every patch. The quality of the implementation may vary a lot (such as characters missing or subtitles acting strange), but we hope that this can help us plan and prioritize better for the upcoming patches. This patch it is time for Spanish and Portuguese to get added in their Beta stage. If you want to help out, head over to our Crowdin page! The translations over at Crowdin have also been updated, and now have strings for Credits and the Workshop monitor. Translations for these will be added in an upcoming patch.
Some small touch ups
We’ve also added a feature some of you have been requesting regarding screenshots and the hand getting in the way of them. You can now create a keybind for hiding/showing everything that might be in the way of your fantastic screenshots. To bind this to a key, open ASAMUInput.ini (located in C:Users
Bindings=(Name="Escape",Command="CloseEditorViewport | onrelease ShowMenu")
Bindings=(Name="F3",Command="ToggleScreenShotMode")
Bindings=(Name="F4",Command="TiledShot 4")
Bindings=(Name="F7",Command="GBA_QuickLoad")
Name is the key you want to bind, F3 and F4 in the example above, now you can just press those keys and take really awesome screenshots.
Final notes
And as always, If you have any suggestions for fixes or issues that you are experiencing, don't hesitate to contact us on feedback@gonenorthgames.com. Happy Grappling! - [GNG] Philip

Look at that, we're back with another patch! This time we have some good news for our non-english speaking adventurers, as we are now rolling out the game in other languages! == ASAMU is now available in other languages! == It’s been in the works for some time but the road has been rocky to say the least. However, we now have the first four translations up and ready to go. These are: French, German, Italian and Polish. Note that this is only for menus and subtitles, not the voiceovers. If your native tongue is not among these, don’t despair. We have more translations in store for you and we will be updating the game with these in the coming months. Maybe one day ASAMU will feature every language known to man. I’ll probably regret saying that, but we can try! :) If you want to help with translations you can do so over at: https://crowdin.com/project/a-story-about-my-uncle == I found an error in the translation! == Oh, that's unfortunate but it’s very nice of you to tell us! You can contact Philip (localization guy, writing these patch notes) by any or all of these options: 1. Send a mail to: feedback@gonenorthgames.com 2. Send Philip (Laemon) a message on https://crowdin.com/project/a-story-about-my-uncle 3. Send Philip a message on steam to really bring the point home http://steamcommunity.com/id/laemon/ == What happened to the ice cave fix?! == Don't worry it is still being implemented, but right before this patch we realized some other things we needed to change, so we have pushed it back to the next patch in a couple of weeks. == Future plans == We will try to bring you patches more often, without the long periods of radio silence. If you have any suggestions for fixes or issues that you are experiencing, don't hesitate to contact us on feedback@gonenorthgames.com. Have fun! == PATCH NOTES FOR BUILD 3705 == Localization - The game is now available in the following languages: - Italian - French - German - Polish

Long time no see, Adventurers! Apologies for the radio silence. We cannot put into words how much we here at the office appreciate all the love and support you have given us, and the game these last months. == Regarding Crashes / Save Games == It hasn’t been all happy feedback however, some of you had some really nasty crashes that corrupted the save file. Well that should hopefully finally be resolved and you will be able to play (and speedrun!) this game with more confidence. Please continue to send us any issues you encounter to support@gonenorthgames.com == Regarding Localization == We are still implementing localization (multiple languages for menus and subtitles), but we have hit a few roadblocks. We promise to keep you more updated on everything in the stickied thread in the steam discussions. == PATCH NOTES FOR BUILD 3693 == Save Games - Fixed a crash that corrupted saved games.
