New build! [url=]https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=HotM:Preparing_For_Launch#0.600.2_Localization[/url] [h3]What's New[/h3] [list] [*] The achievements all have icons now, and are uploaded to steam, and are prepped for being in the game, but you can't quite see them yet. That will be shortly. [*] Liquid Metal dragons are now Innately Alarming, making them a lot more interesting and challenging to use, and not quite so OP, without making them actually physically any weaker. Thanks to folks on discord for the discussion on how to tackle this. [*] This build has MAJOR localization updates. [*] First of all, the translations are now fully in place for all of the languages. [*] Secondly, I fixed a number of bugs with my code for importing those translations. One of them had to do with parsing Excel files, and I had to write my own stinking parser since the one I was using off the shelf just kept doing really wrong things. That was a deep dive into the guts of the Excel format in a way I haven't needed to do since about 2008, back in my business software days, before I even realized I would be a game developer the following year. Anyway, it was annoying, but took me back to old times in a vaguely fond way. And my code is also 4x faster than the off-the-shelf stuff, too, so changing languages is much faster. [/list]
