[h3]Version 1.1.0 is now available![/h3]
This update fixes a few critical bugs involving black screens and explosive weapon damage. It also introduces support for translating the game text to other languages. The first full text translation available is Chinese, supplied by one of our outstanding community members. If you would like to participate in translating the game to your language, the localization tool can be opened by clicking the button at the bottom left of your monitor in the game's intro scene. It will allow you to create a new language pack and edit the translations for the game text. Language files will be generated in the Localization folder in the game directory. We have a channel in our Discord server for collaborating on localization.

For compatibility/testing, the previous version will remain available as an opt-in 'beta' branch.
