Hey Everyone,
Summer isn’t exactly the best time for skiing - unless you do it in virtual reality of course! So we’ve kept busy and tackled the topic of localization. That always takes quite a bit of logistic effort, but we have now managed to add subtitles to the game and even add three additional text languages: French, Italian and Spanish! Due to our non-existent budget, we had to go with machine translations though. So if you are a native speaker and notice something odd, don’t hesitate to tell us here in the Steam discussions or on our Discord. There, we also have a list of SteamVR game keys for other games that we’re offering up to people who help us out improving the game. If you’re interested, head over there and take a look!

From our experience, longer sentences of flowing text are mostly translated okay, because some context can be gathered by the AI. But when it comes to short phrases or even single words, like what you see in user interfaces, it can be completely off, sometimes with hilarious results. Again, if you spot anything like that, please let us know.
Other than that, work on a game never seems to be done - there is always something to improve. So in order to make the game look even better, we started placing some grass and reeds in the levels, and again added more lighting and environmental effects like ground fog.
Have fun and stay cool,
Kalle from Tunermaxx
