Here we are!
After two years of development, the major stepping stones I set for the game to exit EA are now reached:
*You can now play the Northern Expedition scenario! *You can now also play on your Linux and Mac computers.I will push the publish button this evening around 6pm hour of Paris.
I am sure you will have a lot of fun with the game.
It offers deep and complete content, with a high replay value.
Have fun!

[h3]What I will be working on now?[/h3]
I will work at a slower path for some weeks now, seeing friends and reading good books.
My next "big" project will certainly be made on Godot Egine, so I will take the time to get familiar with that engine.
I will probably make 1 or 2 small games with Godot to get used to it.
I am not sure what they will be about, but I already have some concepts and game titles I'd like to explore.
Would you play to a game called "Mad Men in Bunkers", or "Graal"?
When I feel confident enough with Godot, I will adapt Cold War 2 for PC.
[h3]What is planed for Rise of the White Sun?[/h3]
The Chinese Community translation is still going on.
It is currently at 80% done, and the files are being reviewed for integration to the game.
As you know, chinese localisation may produce bugs for Chinese players, so, I will really take my time to limit the troubles.
I will take a month to slow down and ship only small patches and fixes.
Then I will try to make a nice content update.
(see just below)

they are more cheatcodes, but they are so oriented "debbug" that you won't be able to do anything useful with them.
