Effulgence RPG News

[h3]I opened my localization sheet. You can suggest better wording in your language. [/h3][p][/p][h3]★★★[/h3][p][/p][h2]This is 100% optional. I'm a solo dev and I use comments to catch awkward phrasing. Play and enjoy is already enough - suggestions are a bonus.[/h2][p][/p][h3]★★★[/h3][p][/p][h2]How to help[/h2]

• [p]Open the sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tYRDJnPVPWaOzLXWYg2_mgiNun7Iw1JLO3wGOS4DigQ/edit?usp=sharing [/p]
• [p]Pick the right tab: UI, Locations, Dialogs + Hints, or Items. [/p]

• [p]Add a comment on the cell you want to improve (Right-click → Comment, or Ctrl+Alt+M / Cmd+Option+M). [/p]
• [p]In your comment, write the full improved line. If it's a small fix, you can just show the change. [/p]

• [p]Do not change the left "Key" column. [/p]

[h2]Notes [/h2]

• [p]The sheet is open for comments only. I will review and apply good suggestions by hand. [/p]

[h3]★★★ Thank you for helping the game read better in your language! ★★★[/h3][p][/p]

[h3]I'm opening a short 5-day playtest to stress-test the new planet/map controls. I'd love your feedback on how it feels with mouse, keyboard, and gamepad.[/h3]

[h3]Everything you see is made from keyboard text symbols and built inside the game's engine.[/h3][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h3]Wishing you a spooktacular Halloween in advance![/h3][p][/p]

[h3]Based on your feedback, I'm reworking the controls - taking ~two more weeks for polish. [/h3][p]★ Next week: a micro playtest (sign up on the store page).[/p][p]★ Bonus: a hi-res poster.[/p][p]Video:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Download hi-res (5010 x 7200, PNG, 20MB): [/p][h3]Thank you for the feedback! Please add to your wishlist and drop by the playtest next week.[/h3]

[h2]I've wanted to make a dragon out of text symbols for the game for ages and I finally did![/h2][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]I planned a mean dragon, but he turned out kind of adorable. He's even got a Peace Sign tattoo on his wing. He loves pacifists. They're delicious.[/p]
