Project Roles

TheMaxine is now the Writing Director, and Beethovenus is now the Project Manager / Creative Director! We're shifting towards having multiple project leaders -- while this was already a thing with our system of project directors, we wanted to make it a bit more clear roles-wise.

Localization Documentation

UPDATE: Documentation for unofficial localization patches is now available here!

As mentioned in the changelog, the in-game tooling and systems have been further upgraded and finalized. We just need to finish putting together the documentation for v2.0's localization tools, and then update our website.

Once we do this, you'll be able to start making your own unofficial localization patches, if desired!

This should hopefully take place in the near future, and we'll give updates on what's happening here. In the meantime, we're still working on official localizations for Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Dutch with our official translators. We'll share more details once we have them!

If you experience any issues on this version, please visit our support page for information and assistance. There's definitely been some odd ones out there!
