YWDH

Now features Japanese localization data, provided by Leah Hicks. You can now experience Grandpa's story in multiple languages.
Has had its UI replaced to be higher resolution and more readable for everyone.
The input code for the game now makes camera rotation easier.
The default movement configuration for the game is less likely to get stuck after alt-tabbing, and is more responsive on controllers with analog input.
Now uses the steamworks API.
General game optimizations to provide a more stable experience.

The logic for picking a language is:

Pick a locale automatically based on your OS language. This will be used if there is an error getting this info from steam.
If the launch argument --lang=ja_JP is provided, it will override 1.
If it can retrieve a language from steam, it will use that. (overrides 1. & 2.)
If the launch arguments -language japanese is provided, it will override 3.

The Blue Box Launcher

Now features a gear on each game page, allowing you to define options for each.
Now features the ability to provide launch arguments to any games. This can be useful for supplying documented arguments, or engine level arguments. (see: Unity Standalone Player command line arguments)
Now passes command line arguments from steam into each game. Use this sparingly, or for setting localization overrides.
Disabled unused modules, other minor optimizations that should result in fewer files downloaded.
Uploads game configurations to the Steam Cloud.

As always, we hope you like the update. This is just one of many small steps to make our games easier for everyone to enjoy. If you experience any problems with this update, please visit our support forum or leave feedback from within the launcher. Localizations will continue to be created and maintained as our games develop, in addition to these short glimpses into the future:
