Hello,

This time we would like to apologize for the language change problem due to a new update. We are working to resolve this, but as an immediate solution, we would like to inform you that if the game is in a language other than the usual one, there is a way to resolve it:

- In the Main Menu, in the bottom left corner, you'll find two arrows, which you can use to set the language you want.

- We know it's not the ideal solution, but it's an immediate solution so that while we're working on it, you can already have access to the game.

We look forward to any feedback you may have, and thank you for testing and playing our game.

Thank you for your support and patience.

Dear esteemed curators and honored testing engineers,
Primitive Society Simulator is about to enter in Early Access,

There are a few things I'd like to report to all of the bosses:

1. The Demo will be de-activated within the next 2 days.
After this period, those who have already downloaded the "FreeDemo" will no longer be able to play it.

2. The application for Play-Test is temporarily closed and will reopen upon completion of the next major update, likely during the Early Access phase.

3. Test engineers who have already received their keys will not be affected.

We are currently progressing with localization efforts,
aiming to provide the game in as many languages as possible. Given the human-history-centric of our project, we consider this a necessity.

The current plan is to complete support for 8 languages:
Français
日本語
Português-BR
Español-ES
English
Русский
Deutsch
繁体中文/简体中文

Once this phase is completed in approximately 1 to 2 months, I will let you know when we have the exact release date, "Primitive Society Simulator" will enter the Early Access phase.

Thank you for your support and patience.
