Long Live The Queen News

[p]Cleaning up a few bugs! [/p]

• [p]Elodie no longer disappears when you return after clicking the sidebar "menu" button from the classes or stats screen. [/p]
• [p]The sidebar "menu" button from the stats screen no longer leaves the stats background showing. [/p]
• [p]An unused file was removed. [/p]
• [p]Togami's dossier should be correctly displayed now.[/p]

[p]And of course:[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]All Hanako Games titles are currently on discount for the Steam Spring Sale![/p]

[p]This release focuses on translation and text-to-speech bugfixes.[/p][p]Changes since 1.5.13:[/p][p]- A little code cleanup[/p][p]- Tutorial text works a bit better in self-voicing mode.[/p][p]- Self-voicing during studying now truncates trailing zeros when reading decimal numbers.[/p][p]- Bubbles ("+1 Pressured", "Test: Horses → Failed") will now be read off in the correct order and only get read once.[/p][p]- Self-voicing will no longer get confused by lines starting with a - ("-1 Afraid") on Linux.[/p][p]- A bug, introduced in the engine upgrade, where translations of lines containing double spaces wouldn't usually work right has been fixed.[/p][p]- Some text that wouldn't translate is now translated.[/p][p]- New strings added to the translation template, mostly for text-to-speech. We also added some previously-missing strings. You can get the updated translation file or see the diffs at [/p][p]https://spikycaterpillar.com/long_live_the_queen/translation/[/p][p][/p][p]The above is now in the main/default branch. Fixes for a couple of graphical bugs are currently on the beta branch for testing.[/p]

[p]Multiple adjustments to automatic self-voicing (triggered by pressing 'V' during the game). This is an accessibility feature which, while not perfect, should hopefully be more usable than it was before. [/p]

• [p]Self-voicing indicator now more readable, telling you how to turn it off in case you triggered it by accident.[/p]
• [p]Main menu (and some others) have voice options added[/p]
• [p]Week labels no longer constantly voiced[/p]
• [p]Studying should now voice results correctly[/p]
• [p]Class selection screen a little more understandable[/p]
• [p]Moods screen summarises results in voice[/p]
• [p]Many sections reworked to use screen language so that the above would be possible, so please let us know if you encounter strange errors anywhere in the game.[/p]

[p]Other changes:[/p]

• [p]Candidate fix for a crash translating strings with {tag=} in them. Appears to have only affected translations.[/p]
• [p]Work around a crash syncing Steam stats if the API failed to get the death count.[/p]

[p][/p][p]Currently working on further translation-related issues.[/p]

[p]It's moving, it's shaking! We are pushing forward with updating the version of the game engine that Long Live The Queen runs on in order to improve compatibility with modern machines. We're also implementing cloud save and a few other Steam-based features. We've been testing this for a while but it's a BIG change and big changes can cause a little bit of chaos - please check in on the discussion thread here if you run into any problems so we can get right into fixing it.[/p][p][/p][p]The old version IS still available if needed but it's important to report problems so we can fix them first.[/p][p][/p][p]Please keep bug feedback in the discussion thread and not a reply to this event (which is harder for Spiky to see and reply to!)[/p]

After the end of this Winter Sale, I intend to retire the big discount bundle that covers all of our pre-Zorana games together. It's just too big and unwieldy and most people don't want to buy all the games all at once, even with a bonus discount. Therefore I intend to shut it down by the end of January and free up more page space.

With that in mind I wanted to give people a heads-up because this will be the last chance to get the "buy everything you didn't already own" discount on top of the "everything is on sale" discount.
