Hi there!

It appears there was a big issue with the asian languages in yesterday's update. At first we thought it was an issue with the translations themselves, but it turned out instead that it was a text rendering functionality that had a last minute modification that was acting up.

We sincerely apologize, and we hope this patch makes the game considerably more readable again for our asian players. Please do let us know, it's hard for us to tell since we unfortunately cannot read these languages.

Here's the complete changelog for this patch:

• [LANG] Changed chinese translation for Ammo Max
  
• [FIX] Missing degree symbols in codex
  
• [FIX] Fixed an issue that was breaking multi-line texts in Chinese, Korean and Japanese, resulting in wrong and/or missing characters
  
• [FIX] Fixed an issue with "Add X pieces" text that occured after switching between certain languages
  

Thank you all for your patience with us. As you can probably tell we are still very much figuring things out as we go. Maybe some day we'll know what we're doing haha. ^^'

Have a nice week,

Also, you might have heard, the Steam Autumn sale is on! Unfortunately, because of the recent price increase, Shotgun King cannot participate in this sale because of Steam's rules, but we do have another game we've released a few months after Shotgun King, called MOONPONG: Tales of Epic Lunacy! This one is 10% off right now for the Autumn Sale if you want to check it out!!
