BitCraft Online News

[p]This week brings many bug fixes and quality of life from the new year cleanup as well as the foundations for the new quest system. We are trying a new approach where anything capable of being put out only on the preview branch has been put out there, with the plan to promote that to the default steam branch if there are no issues. Hopefully this should mean that if there are any issues with those changes they can be opted out of easily while we fix.

• [p]New quest system that splits up the tutorial into smaller quests. This is the foundation for further changes coming in the next update which will be improving existing quests, adding new ones, and changing the order.[/p]

• [p]Passengers swimming in the center of the boat for the Fisherman's boat.[/p]

[p]Hello everyone.

The patch released today brings our initial translations for French, German, Spanish, and Japanese. This first release is intended primarily as a test of our internal translation pipeline. We are fully aware that these translations are very preliminary, and we are committed to significantly refining them over the coming months until they meet an acceptable quality standard.[/p][p]We plan to address translation issues through two primary methods: by acting on feedback submitted directly to BitCraft Support and by implementing a crowdsourcing effort in the coming weeks.[/p][p]Once the French, German, Spanish, and Japanese translations are complete, our focus will shift to introducing translations for additional languages.To discuss translations, please visit the BitCraft Discord and navigate to the "Experimental System Discussions" category. You can submit feedback on translations via BitCraft Support.
