A little spring refresh

Hi y'all!

Hope you're doing great. First off -- we are working on Act V, we're excited about it and eager to share it with you & wrap up this weird journey together, it'll be out sometime this year, and thanks as always for your patience & enthusiasm.

Meanwhile ...

While building the most recent KRZ interlude, "http://kentuckyroutezero.com/un-pueblo-de-nada/," we were also making some important updates to the codebase. We'll go into much more detail about what those updates were & why they were necessary in a future letter -- for now, here's an overview: - Accessibility improvements (adjustable text size, support on-screen captions for important sound cues, a bunch of other stuff). - Updated our engine (Unity) to the latest version, after trailing behind for years. This gets us the latest bug fixes & was a requirement for preparing the console version. - Adding support for localization. - Bundling all the interludes in with the rest of the game. - Other fun stuff that we will leave for you to discover ...

A lot of these changes meant going deep into code we wrote at the start of this project, when dinosaurs walked the earth. If you have some time and curiosity, would you mind checking out the beta of this new version of the game & let us know if you come across any issues?

This update also includes localization for Act 1 in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Latam Spanish, Japanese, Russian, and Korean. Damn that's a lot of languages! It's like the Rosetta Stone of artgames. Thanks to Annapurna Interactive for hooking that up. If you read one of those languages, we'd love to hear any feedback you may have about the localization so far. We also plan to do a full localization QA process with the team closer to launch of Act V, but early feedback is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a friend or family member who reads one of the above languages and who you think wouldn't mind taking a look at the game? We'd be happy to give you a download key to share with them, just drop us an email.

Right now the beta of this update is only available in Steam. Right-click on the game in your library and choose "properties", then under the "beta" tab select the "testing-public" beta. If you'd like to help us test but bought the game somewhere other than Steam, drop us an email.

Please send along any feedback or bug reports to cardboardcomputer@gmail.com.

Thanks! More soon!
