Wow, getting this out there took longer than I had hoped, for a variety of reasons. On the flip side, this has given Fred the opportunity to catch up (or rather get ahead), so I can start churning through story implementation again!

Anyway, like I said in the previous patch note, as Fred toiled away on some massive animations I seized the opportunity to make the game translateable through the Steam Workshop! This isn't huge news for everyone, but for a significant portion of our player base, having to play the game in English is really bothersome. Despite most gamers having a decent understanding of English, the details are still lost to many players.

Most importantly, this finally allows English speaking users that are sick of Bag's attitude to turn him into a cheerleader-type instead! Or make an English 'translation' with less cussing. Or… why not one where everyone swears like a sailor?

Hopefully the tools will see some use, or I'm going to cry myself to sleep for all the work spent on making them! Click here for more info on the tools

Another somewhat significant addition is a hopefully much more robust save backup system, which works independently of the Steam Cloud. I've also disabled the emergency save feature that triggers on crashes, as I suspect it was, ironically, the culprit of some save file loss bugs.

Oh, and you can transform Essence into hats now, for those of you who've got Arcade Mode Essence flowing out of your ears by now!
