The main part of the translation is complete! / Shelling and power cuts
Good health, dear Cossacks!!! Have you been waiting for us? We're here now! And we have a lot to tell you. But in short, everything is under control!
First, let's discuss the successful progress of the localisation update. At the moment, all dialogues and tasks have been updated in Ukrainian to the current version, which is 25k+ words! This means that the bulk of the localisation work has been completed. All that remains is to localise all the selection menus, character descriptions, mini-games, and all dialogue edits in Ukrainian and English. We should also note that the game's structure will be further improved after the final localisation update. This will have a significant impact on the ease of translating the game, and we are confident that it is worth the resources invested. The new structure already applies to:
- PC chat dialogues – now all messages and correspondence are in one file, so you don't have to search through all the events to find where a particular message was added (legacy code fix, picture 2)
- Tasks for the journal – now you have 3 files, 2 of which are responsible for routes and the storyline. Inside, they are distributed according to the cards in the journal itself, so there will be no confusion and you will be able to translate efficiently while navigating them (picture 3).
In other places, translation conveniences have already been created, but will be improved if necessary. If we notice that we have missed something, we will correct it with new major updates or we will specifically provide a separate localisation after it.
As for other news, the muzcovites(ruzzians) are starting their winter campaign to leave us without electricity, so we are currently experiencing quite serious problems with this (what a great and humane culture, I must say). We are forced to remain without electricity for 6-10 hours at a time. We can no longer afford to release an update in the first half of the month, but we were very close to doing so. Even if we don't manage to release it over the weekend, expect it next week. So, although it's not our fault, they won't be able to overcome our persistence. They'll be choked by it ^_^.
We are now saving as much time as possible to work as soon as the power comes back on. So we'll see you when the localisation update is released. And it's just around the corner, as you can imagine
. Thanks for your attention!!! Budmo!!! Stand with Ukraine!!!
