Finished translating all the lines, added the button in the menu to change languages... and then I remembered that I also have a bunch of images to translate 😩
#Translation update: I just translated a pun-based joke that couldn't be translated literally into a pun-based joke in the target language that captures EXACTLY the essence of the original. In took me three day to come up with it. I'm very proud of myself. (I'm the one who wrote the original pun, I did this to myself) #foundersOfRedacted #indieDev #gameDev
Working on the #Italian #translation of "The founders of [redacted]"! Current status: 796 translated lines, 958 to go. For comparison, the previous games in the series had respectively 215, 155, and 645 lines of text. This game has almost twice the amount of text of all the previous games put together! Go play it and experience the beautifully crafted text first-hand! It's free! https://apicici.itch.io/the-founders-of-redacted #foundersOfRedacted #gameDev #indieDev
It's #sourcecodeSunday! I started working on the Italian translation of "The founders of [redacted]". Here is the code that loads the translations, which I just rewrote this morning to use TSV files instead of Lua files to store them. A decision I regret a bit, since I just spent over an hour fixing the unspeakable things that spreadsheet programs insist on doing to the poor double quotes in my strings. Oh well. #foundersOfRedacted #indieDev #gameDev image
I never specified what platforms "The founders of [redacted]" works on! As a #Linux user myself I'd like mention that the game is fully supported on Linux. In fact, it is developed on Linux, and it's the platform that get the most testing. Take that, platforms with higher market share! We also support Windows and macOS, and phones/tablets through the web version (all platforms have touch support). https://apicici.itch.io/the-founders-of-redacted 1/2 #foundersOfRedacted #indieDev #gameDev

Yesterday I did a final playthrough of the browser version of "The founders of [redacted]" on my phone. Touch controls worked great! But... I found the weirdest bug! There was a single sound effect that I couldn't hear. Just the one! I had given up on it since it wasn't a game breaking bug, but I had an idea for a solution while trying to fall asleep last night. 1/2 #foundersOfRedacted #indieDev #gameDev
