changedAs you know, Foxtail is being translated into multiple languages. Translating a big body of text with branching dialogs and conditions and complicated context is always a difficult task for both developers and translators.

changedWe're now getting descriptions like "In Backyard: Axe + Knife or Hammer (1st time)" and "Leah + Pie in House when Grandma~sleeping" and "Entering Forest from Oaks when gathering_herbs and before eat_all_raspberry" automatically for every line of dialog in the game. Translators will love this one!

addedA humble little button right next to "Run" that toggles a new dialog mode for testing the game. Instead of clicking through long dialogs over and over while tweaking text and logic, we can skip spoken lines altogether. When a dialog line is skipped, it automatically appears in the new "Transcript" tab, so we can still proofread the text while skipping it.
