First of all, you deserve some words. The game is not well maintained, you’re right . As we stated some times in the forums, MIND was developed by only one person , and Carlos published 2 more games and is working in his next unannounced title. That made hard to fit the necessary

The title may seem redundant but it’s what literally happened with Mind and the language support and the patch we launched today.
Nearly one month ago we launched a patch that fixed the translations of the game. It worked in our internal testing but once merged with a new build with more fixes the translations banished again.
Later we will go deeper in the technical aspects but for those looking for what’s new, next you can find how the new language system works.
In the Settings - Game menu you will find a new option called “Language”. Every time you click on it the game will be translated to a new language, click until you find yours.
Due to some problems with some languages the current supported languages are:

English
Russian
Português
Korean
Chinese
Italian
French
Euskara
Spanish
Deutsch
Japanese
Català
Later we will update the game to add the missing languages. Also, now the game ignores the language you selected on Steam, we will update the game to detect and configure the game accordingly in the future. On the positive side, Catalan and Basque people will be able to play the game without having to hack it ;)
Technical stuff
In the last announcement we talked about how the updates of your tools may cause problems. Well, this is a good confirmation of the theory.
The last update fixed the language problem. We relied on some kind of hack of the Steam’s depot system that allowed us to overwrite the file that corresponds to the english translation of the game. Every time you switched from a language to another, Steam overwrites the english subtitles with a file with the texts on the selected language. And in fact, it was working correctly, the files are updating correctly right now, but for some reason, the texts ingame were in a perfect English.
After some research it seems that the Unreal Engine translation system crashed and the game is not loading that file and it’s showing the default value for the the texts in the game (yes, English).
Luckily Carlos is working in a new game and he developed a new translation system for it and finally we adapted it for Mind.
That’s why we needed some time and that’s why it’s not fully functional, it’s a beta version of the translation system and it lacks some features (like getting the language you selected on Steam).
Thanks for reading,

Do you MIND if I fix MIND?
First of all, we want to apologize for the delay fixing the game. We launched two games this year (Annie Amber and Sky Racer) and maintaining Mind and the other games needs to be done while Pantumaca Barcelona is working in a new title. And Pantumaca is a one developer studio. Al
First of all, we want to apologize for the delay fixing the game. We launched two games this year (Annie Amber and Sky Racer) and maintaining Mind and the other games needs to be done while Pantumaca Barcelona is working in a new title. And Pantumaca is a one developer studio.
Also, it was hard to know what was happening because we have changed nothing in the game, so it was strange to have so many new errors. In fact, all the problems came from updates… but not from Mind, but from Vive and Unreal Engine 4. These updates changed how some low level API work and broke our game.
We are releasing an update today that addresses some of them, next you can find the changelog:

Fixed player spawn in the 2nd part of the Father chapter
Changing the language in the Steam properties fixed
Fixed Vive controller’s touchpad problems
Achievements can be unlocked again
White borders appearing in Vive
Many thanks for your understanding

August bugfixing update
Today we are publishing an small update, in fact, there are only two items in it: Fix: Father chapter portal problem Fix: Clear Night in Uyuni ball not showing I want to apologize for the delay fixing these two, it was hard to find what was happening, especially in the second one
Today we are publishing an small update, in fact, there are only two items in it:

Fix: Father chapter portal problem
Fix: Clear Night in Uyuni ball not showing
I want to apologize for the delay fixing these two, it was hard to find what was happening, especially in the second one because it was related to a new feature of Unreal Engine we were not aware of.
Every time you post in the forums a bug we start the bugfixing process. It’s starts by reporting it to Carlos and implies prioritizing them. For example, game stoppers are always at the top, because it’s preventing people from ending the game.
Then it comes the tricky part. We need to reproduce a bug to be able to fix it. It could seem easy because it’s failing for you, and it’s clear there is an error, but the variables that may cause an error are overwhelming. Sometimes it’s a problem with the graphics adapter, the operating system or how the engine is made, and even it’s possible that it’s a problem with a single model of graphics card and driver version.
Once a bug is reproducible, it’s possible to start fixing it because you can change something, test how it affects the game and find what’s causing the error. Ironically, it’s usual to spend less time fixing the problem than finding how to reproduce it.
