Hey guys! We're still going! ^-^
Sorry it's been so long, the last months sure have gone by slowly. Usually we did patches several times a month during early access, but I wanted this one to really send the game off with a bang, so it also has a ton of new content!
The new patch is looking to be ready by the end of January, and includes the following new features:
- Several new languages, including French, Chinese, German, Spanish & Turkish. We will continue to add other languages if the game picks up, but right now if we want the funds to remain in the green we have to hold off. This is a heavily text based game, so translations can be pretty costly and time consuming for us.
- 24 new perks
- Several new items
- Loads of new night events, including more night events related to your background story
- Some secret things we want to leave as a surprise
- New options for skipping endings and other quality of life features that have been requested
- New street names (decorative)
- Various balancing changes & bug squishes
After release, many of you have continued to make a lot of requests, so we'll try and accommodate them as much as we can, because we can. Though this upcoming update is likely to be our last major patch, at least unless the game gets a boost in popularity as mentioned already. We'll continue to do hotfixes for any issues that arise though, whatever the case.
The language support was a huge effort and we hope those that have been dissatisfied with the game due to lack of language support will change their minds when finally playing the game in their native tongue. If they do, we could hit that ever coveted "Overwhelmingly positive" tag, which would mean a huge deal for us! ^-^
We of course need to begin thinking about the next game (actually I've been thinking about it for a couple of decades so I hope you like it), and so we need to start putting resources into that, as well as continue to make charity donations, so there comes a point when we need to stop spending on CHANGE anyway, and this update has taken a good wallop to our funds, mainly because of the translations (thus, how long it took). Still, we want to make sure we leave it behind with a good amount for you all to still explore, especially for those who've been with us since the beginning of this journey.
That's all from me for now, I hope you all like the new update when it lands, I promise it'll be worth the wait. :)
