National Park Girls: Love Our Parks Edition News

Hello everyone! I hope you've all been having a wonderful day. We have excellent news for our Chinese fans - the artbook is now available in Simplified Chinese, thanks to Currl Aya!

As there's two editions of the .pdf now depending on the language, they're now within an 'artbook' folder with your game files once you have purchased and installed the artbook DLC.

Thank you very much for all the love and support!

[p]Hey everyone! We’ve got another patch ready for you, and it adds a couple of very cool features that will make the game more accessible to more folks out there. We’ve implemented audio cues and… The game now has a Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) translation! All thanks to the efforts of one of our community members, currl aya![/p][p][/p][p]Audio cues are an accessibility option that displays notifications at the top of the screen whenever an audio file or music track is played back during gameplay. They describe the audio itself and the audio channel it’s a part of. Our hope is that this will help those with hearing issues, but it’s also going to be a handy way of learning the names of each song and the composer’s intent for each of them![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And now for a quick word from our translation extraordinaire, currl aya:[/p][p][/p][p]“Please love our parks XD”[/p][p][/p][p]Couldn’t have said it better myself![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]General improvements and bug fixes[/h2]
