Localization and dark mode update

[h2]Localization[/h2]

Multiple language support has been in progress for quite some time now, and it's finally ready.
So far, 7 languages are supported: English, French, German, Russian, Chinese (simplified) and Japanese.
Languages other than English are prepared using machine translation (LLM based) with some surface level validation, please report any inconsistencies here in Steam discussions (or if you didn't find any issues with translation also mention it there, so I can remove the "machine translation" label from the language choice list)

If you want to play the game in some other languages, please indicate so, with sufficient demand I may add more of them.

[h2]Dark mode[/h2]

One highly requested feature was dark-colored UI scheme which is delivered as alternative dark mode.
The default light color scheme also has been slightly adjusted. Hope you'll like the new colors!

When the game is launched for the first time you'll have an option to select the language and color scheme, or you can easily switch them from the game options at any moment later.
These features are already present in demo.

[h2]Next plans[/h2]

Currently I'm working on some visual improvements, such as snow effects and trails for skiers and snowmobiles. It may take some trials and errors in order to make these effects performing good enough (there's a lot of skiers after all) while fitting the overall style of the game, we'll see how it turns out.
