Let Bions Be Bygones Events: Localization Update
Oct 11, 20245 New Languages, Bug Fixes, and What’s Next!
Hello everyone!
We’ve got a major update for you today, and it's one that many of you have been eagerly waiting for. After a lot of hard work, we’re thrilled to announce that the game is now available in five new languages: Simplified Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, and German! This has been a huge endeavor for both our team and the talented localization experts who poured their hearts into making sure the game feels natural and immersive in each language.
Why was it so challenging? Well, it turns out that translating the game’s unique tone, humor, and all the jargon (oh, the jargon!) was quite the task. On top of that, the complex branching paths in the game didn't make it any easier. But we’re really proud of the results, and we’re excited for even more players around the world to enjoy the game in their own language.
That said, we know that nothing is perfect. Some translations may still need tweaking, and you might find an occasional line that slips through in English. If you do, we’d love to hear from you! Please report any issues you encounter either in the Steam Discussions or on our Discord. We’re committed to fixing any mistakes as quickly as possible!
Bug Fixes Galore
Along with the new languages, we’ve also tackled a lot of the bugs that have been piling up. To be honest, once we dove into localization, it was hard to release any new updates (our project hierarchy is a bit of a tangled web—live and learn, right?). But now that we’ve cleared that hurdle, we’ve fixed many of the game’s lingering issues. We hope this results in a much smoother experience for you all, with fewer, if any, game-breaking bugs. As always, if you do come across any pesky problems, let us know and we’ll squash them ASAP.
What’s Next?
Now that localization is behind us, our next big focus is something many of you have been asking for: gamepad support! Not only that, but we’re also working on Linux and Mac compatibility so that more players can enjoy the game on their favorite devices. With these two in place, we’re also excited to say that Steam Deck will be supported as a result, which we think will be the perfect way to experience everything the game has to offer!
We’re also planning to add support for more languages in the future! However, due to the complexity and effort involved in this process, we can’t give any dates or confirm how many more languages will be added.
Thank You for Your Patience and Support
We want to give a huge thank you to everyone in our community for your patience, feedback, and enthusiasm throughout this journey. This update is a big one, and it wouldn’t have been possible without your support. We’re excited to see what you think of the new localizations, and we’re always here to listen to your thoughts and make the game even better.
Until next time, happy gaming!
