I’m a solo developer who published this game entirely on my own. I could only make this update happen thanks to the huge help from my friends (and friends of friends), plus using online services that I could afford. I don’t have a QA team, but I did my absolute best to test everything! If you spot any major errors in the translations, please let me know on the official Discord channel and I’ll fix it ASAP!

For my next project Death Counter I will do my best to support more languages on day one!

Thank you all for playing!

Regards,
Arman
