Fix for Achievements

[p]Hey, we've had some reports recently that some achievements weren't working after the latest game update.[/p][p][/p][p]I've had a look into this and it was an issue on the Steam backend where unfortunately when adding the new Chinese translations for achievements some were added in the wrong place. This meant that when the game tried to unlock that achievement (when playing in any language) it wasn't able to.[/p][p][/p][p]The achievements impacted by this were:[/p]
  • [p]Lumberjack[/p]
  • [p]Overkill[/p]
  • [p]Heartbroken[/p]
  • [p]Postwoman[/p]
  • [p]Indecisive[/p]
[p][/p][p]The fix is now live and Heartbroken, Postwoman and Indecisive should automatically unlock next time you load a save file where these events have occurred as their progress is included in your save data.

For Lumberjack and Overkill you would need to redo the requirement for these in combat, sorry about that.

There isn't a patch for the game as it's a backend Steam fix for this. After making the fix I closed and reopened Steam (to make sure it refreshed) and was able to unlock all of the above achievements when testing.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you[/p][p][/p][p]Tom[/p]

Trading Cards, Backgrounds and Emoticons are here!

[p]Hey![/p][p][/p][p]I'm a little late posting this as the community items actually went live last Thursday![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We have 3 backgrounds, 6 trading cards and 6 emoticons available. C.B. has prepared the backgrounds and trading cards. We commissioned our good friend Sol to create the emoticons for us and we love how these turned out![/p][p][/p][p]Did you know that you can click on a trading card and it expands into a bigger piece of art? We didn't until we started working on these! C.B. put extra attention into the large versions with extra details and characters featured in the backgrounds of the trading cards.[/p][p][/p][p]Here's Michelle's full trading card artwork as an example...[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you and enjoy![/p][p][/p][p]Tom[/p]

Chinese Language Support and New Character Portraits

[p]Hey, today's update adds Traditional and Simplified Chinese language options![/p][p][/p][p]Alongside this we have five new character portraits, including T.A.D, Larry and Stacy! All named characters in the game now feature a dialogue portrait painted by our artist C.Bedford.[/p][p][/p][p]We've made a few other adjustments and bug fixes as well, here's the full list of changes.[/p]
  • [p]Feature: Added Chinese (Traditional) and Chinese (Simplified) language options[/p]
  • [p]Feature: Added five new character portraits[/p]
  • [p]Adjustment: updated tank controls to be more precise when controlled with an analogue stick[/p]
  • [p]Adjustment: adjusted some cameras during dialogue for a better view of the character[/p]
  • [p]Adjustment: credits have been updated to include the teams that worked on the new localisations and physical versions of the game[/p]
  • [p]Adjustment: added a splash screen following the credits to mention that Time Attack mode has been unlocked (on first completion of the game)[/p]
  • [p]Bug Fix: under very specific circumstances of controller input, the previous camera view could be retained when going through a door[/p]
  • [p]Bug Fix: depending on story choices, the operator could use an unintended greeting when speaking to the player on Day 3[/p]
  • [p]Bug Fix: under certain circumstances a blocked door in the final combat area could display a dialogue prompt but no message would be displayed when interacting with it[/p][p][/p]
[p]The new translations have been prepared with our lovely partners at Soft Source who launching Sorry We're Closed on a range of platforms across Asia today.[/p][p][/p][p]We're probably leaving it here for new painted portraits as the remaining characters are relatively minor interactions. We hope that you enjoy the 18 new paintings that we've added since launch![/p][p][/p][p]Thank you[/p][p][/p][p]Tom & C.B.[/p]
