Hello there everyone!
Update 1.21 has been released bringing a decent amount of fixes and new features. 1.21 also introduces Achievements.
Thank you for everyone who sent us bug reports and suggestions! Thankfully there were no major bugs reported in the last couple months but if you think you found a bug please contact us.
As you know save game compatibility is a very important element for us and we are glad to say that this patch (like every patch before) is compatible with old saves!
Just as a reminder you can find community made translations for the game here:

(Please note that you need to put every translation mod inside its proper folder. Do not overwrite the “en” folder. Some mods use the “en” folder so you need to manually fix this!)

-Changes were made in the gui_texts.xml. (difficulty texts, level up text, tutorialpet)
Just a friendly reminder to everyone! If you installed translation mods inside the "en" folder you might experience problems (because the "files/dialogs/en" folder is the main text folder of the game and should not be overwritten). Supported translations should always install inside their own folder! (example: ru, de, ..etc)
If you are experiencing issues with translation mods delete the "en" folder and run Verify Integrity of Game Cache from Steam!
Thank you all for your support and have a nice day!
Yours,
Balcony Team
