Friends! We're 12 days away from release! During this final rush, as I frantically add the last touches to the game, I wanted to take a moment to talk about languages and update non-English speakers.

Friends! We're 12 days away from release!

During this final rush, as I frantically add the last touches to the game, I wanted to take a moment to talk about languages and update non-English speakers.

Initially, I planned to include several additional languages at launch. However, implementing the localization system requires more study and time than expected — time that would have been taken away from developing the game itself. After careful consideration, I decided to focus on development first, make sure the game is complete, and add languages at a later stage.

Today, I want to reassure anyone hoping to play the game in their own language that this will be possible very soon.

New languages will be added, hopefully within the first month after release:

  • French

  • German

  • Spanish

  • Italian

  • Japanese

  • Korean

  • Simplified Chinese

The game isn’t heavily text-based, so I may add even more languages later on.

And now… back to the cave!

I'll see you on release day.
