Hi everybody! It's been a little longer than usual between updates to the main Steam build; I've been working on localisation support and it's taken longer than expected! the base systems are now *mostly* in place (I'm aware of a couple things which still won't get translated, but the vast majority of the game is now ready for translations).
Ordinarily I'd wait for the feature to be fully complete, but there were a couple important new features and bug fixes I wanted to push to the default branch, so.. as a bonus, you're also getting a preview taste of translations!
New stuff in this build:
- Fixed an important bug about destroying a network fiber which extends across a region boundary.
- Fixes an important bug which caused things keyed to the current date to read the wrong date. This fixes the daily finance report, the finance graph, and advertisements ending earlier than they ought.
- Fixes a few important bugs around orphaned roads/flight points.
- Fixes a few navigation mesh generation issues.
- Re-enables save file deletion within the game, from the 'load' or 'save' dialogs.
- Monsters will no longer attack players who are traveling on flight paths (oops)
- Adds an in-game "Submit file to devs" button, which automates the process of sending me a save file to investigate. (If I've ever asked you to provide me with a save file, this will make that process a *lot* easier!)
And a bunch of other little features!
Oh.. and of course the preview of localisation support that I mentioned at the top! It's not yet *technically* supported; I'm sure I've missed some text which isn't going through the translation system, and the translations themselves are in a very early state and aren't yet verified as being correct.. but if you'd like to take a look at them, you can switch languages from the Options window's "Debug" tab. Note that you can't yet set your language through Steam settings (as I'm not ready to declare that these other languages are 'supported'), and we don't save your language selection yet, but.. that's all coming pretty soon!
Right now we have an initial set of translations for French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese-BR, all generously supplied by the game's community and wrangled through
Localizor. If you're fluent in English and another language, and have an interest in helping out with translations, please visit that link and take a look!
Thanks for your patience everyone! Setting the whole game up for localisation was a *lot* more work than I'd expected, and has taken a lot longer than I'd planned! But we're very nearly there, now, and the full proper Localisation Update will be here soon!
