Mid October Update

There's a new update for Estranged: Act II on Steam for Windows (with Linux to follow soon), including continual work on the ending content, a re-work of the subtitle system to support captions and more!



More Ending Content

This update includes the next section of the current final level, with a glimpse of the aftermath in the level that follows. To jump to the new content, you can use the cheat map TheBase#sp10

Subtitle Improvements & Captions Support

The subtitle system has been re-worked to allow for "stacking" of subtitles, and support for captions (which can be enabled in the Sound menu).



The size and font of subtitles can also be changed in the new Interface menu if you find the default too large or small, or you have trouble reading the font.

Controller Button Re-Binding

The Controls menu has been split into a "Keyboard Bindings" and "Controller Bindings" menu, which supports the re-binding of controller buttons alongside keyboard and mouse buttons.

The subtitle re-work and controller button re-binding features were mainly aimed at making Act II accessible to all. If you have ideas for other improvements to make the play experience better for you, please let me know!

Vietnamese Translations

Act II now supports Vietnamese, thanks to a community contributor! This brings the total number of complete and partially complete languages supported up to 23! I would like to thank all of the translators in the community for their help with this - if you would like to help out, contact me on Discord!

Thank you for playing and shaping Estranged: Act II! If you'd like to submit feedback directly, join me and the rest of the community on Discord - https://discord.gg/estranged

Update 21/10/2019: Patch 1.3.2 Released

I have pushed a patch to address the following issues:
  • Addresses issues with the Vietnamese translations
  • Allows the subtitle font to be updated live
  • Makes the hints respect the subtitle font selections

This patch is binary-compatible with the version released above, meaning your saved games will still work.
