Dear Players,
We want to be fully transparent about the delays in releasing the English version of Path of Kung Fu. The main challenge comes from our early development approach—significant amount of the game’s text were hardcoded into the game systems rather than being set up for easy localization.

What This Means for Development:
1.A massive amount of content must be manually extracted.
2.Each system (quests, UI, items) requires separate refactoring.
3.Localization now involves restructuring parts of the core code.

We're simultaneously working on finalizing game content and optimizing player experience. It`s taking more time than our expect,and we are actively working on it.

A Heartfelt Thank You
We’ve received many kind offers from players willing to help with translation. We’re deeply moved by your passion for Path of Kung Fu! Unfortunately, due to the technical hurdles mentioned above, we can’t yet provide text files for community translation. Once the extraction is complete, we’ll explore ways to involve you in polishing the localization.
Your patience and support mean the world to us. We’ll keep you updated on our progress, and we’re committed to delivering a version that meets your expectations.

With gratitude,
Path of Kung Fu Team
