Hello Crafters!
We are introducing Localizations with this update! 3 new languages have been added to the game: Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Russian.
The Localizations of the game don't include the latest content though, as the newest character Viala, is still being adjusted on a few things. As we already mentioned on previous updates mentioning the localization process, new content will always come in English only, before we introduce the localizations a few weeks after, as some of the content may change. Each language has a % next to them showcasing how much of it is already done in comparison with the current version. Any language without the % means that they are fully localized already, but that is not the case of any of them right now.
This is also adjusting a few things in game for the Alchemist and reducing some gold costs of buildings prior to the v0.5.0. As we mentioned before, the gold requirements is high for each update on purposed to give players a longer goal before new content arrives, so the costs get reduced after, and new players can catch up to the content.
Patch Notes - v0.5.1
New
Selling Materials
Added into this update, players will be able to sell extra materials to the Wandering Merchant and the Floating Restaurant when they appear in the Village. This addition to the system will allow players to acquire more gold from leftover materials or materials gathered on specific buildings. We believe this new addition will give gatherers in the game more use with their systems and gathering passive skill.
Localizations
We added 3 new languages to the game: Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Russian.
Players will get a prompt to choose a language as soon as they start playing this version to select the language they want.

Next Steps
As we completed this step of adjusting the game for localizations, we will continue with the content development of the game. A few more bosses and challenges will come on the next update of Crafty Survivors, concluding the Mountain area and possibly a new challenge on the Beach.
After the conclusion of the Mountain, we will begin to work on the 9th character! Everything about this new character is already decided, their base mechanic and the design of their skills. We even have the character's sprite ready, so here is a sneak peek of how they look like:
We will reveal more about this character on further updates, but everyone is welcome to guess their profession! And no, they are not the reporter!
