September Developer Update
🕑 Added 2025-09-11 14:03:55 +0000 UTCBeen some time since the last developer update, so wanted to give you all a quick one.
July and August have been lots of minor patches, where I've been going through the backlog of feature requests and bug reports, while fighting to keep the revenue going and keeping the game afloat.
But I feel like I've covered that part enough in the economic updates, and with today patch done I'm planning on starting on patch 0.27 next week, so the next major patch.
As I've mentioned earlier, the next major feature will be localization for the game, aka you'll be able to play the game with the UI and messages in different languages. Still need to work out all the details, but my plan is to have the community help translate the game to which ever language they would like to see.
This would be done by making a system where a translation file is slotted into the game to display a different language. Anyone who want to help translate the game, can then help with creating the translation file for that language. Once a translation file have been completed, I'll add it to the game, so other players will be able to use it.
I imagine the majority of the work will be to get all the current text setup to use this translation file system, but to make sure people can start translating as quickly as possible, I plan on releasing it in steps.
The first one being with the system handling displaying translations, but not implemented everywhere, but with an option where players can supply their own file. I'll then gradually expand the implementation, giving more content community translators can translate, so that the translation work can start by the system is fully implemented.
My rough estimate is that this will probably take 1-2 months. I'll also be sharing more details on how the translation will work once I get the system more fleshed out, and translation is ready to start.
That it's for this time, hope you're all enjoying the game!
