Hello, Keepers!
New week, new tour around the castle.
This time we worked on controls, localization, graphics, and a few things that had been staring at us judgmentally from the task list for a while.
Here is what changed in v0.9.2.0.
1. Added key rebinding
You can now customize the controls to your liking.
Want everything where you normally expect it? Go ahead. Want to create a control scheme that only makes sense to you? We will not ask questions.
2. Added Simplified Chinese
Castle Crew is now available to even more Keepers.
The castle is going international. Apparently, so is the mess.
3. Added Traditional Chinese
Yes, we added both.
If we are expanding the geography of castle cleaning, we might as well do it properly.
4. Improved the rune tutorial
We took another look at the rune tutorial and made the mechanic easier to understand.
Staring at the book and waiting for inspiration is still technically an option. There is just a better one now.
5. Improved the book cabinet completion effect
Putting the final book into place should now feel a little more satisfying.
If you carried all those books across the castle, the cabinet should at least acknowledge the achievement properly.
6. Improved the character selection screen
The character selection screen received some visual improvements and now feels cleaner.
Our candidates are looking more confident than ever. They still have no idea how much work is waiting inside.
7. Graphics optimization
We continued working on performance and graphics optimization.
The castle should look almost the same. Your computer should hopefully suffer a little less.
8. Improved lighting
We did a little magic behind the scenes and improved several aspects of the lighting.
Lights shine. Shadows behave better. Magic is under control.
9. Minor visual fixes
We also walked around the castle and fixed a collection of smaller visual issues.
Most of them were very good at hiding. Unfortunately for them, finding problems is literally our job.
What is next
We continue to read your feedback, bug reports, and suggestions.
If you notice anything unusual after the update, or simply want to tell us what you enjoy and what could be improved, please let us know.
And next week, things around the castle are going to get a little more interesting.
We are preparing something for Keepers who have not been able to enter the castle yet. We are also working on a new reason to look a little more closely into every corner and think twice before walking past something that once seemed ordinary.
For now, we will leave that as a small mystery.
Update the game and head back to the castle, Keepers. The mess still refuses to clean itself. We keep checking.
