Update #29: More Features and Languages! (Patreon)

Hey All! Kom and Blue reporting in!

Blue: Listen, I don't have much time. They're on to me, you see. Who's on to me? I can't say. But they don't want you to know what I know. But the truth has to come out. That's right. It's time for the update post.

Kom: 🙄 Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all... (jk) We've got a lot of exciting things to talk about this time around. Since the STEAM RELEASE is just around the corner, we've worked extra hard these past few days.

Refreshed Level Selection Menu 🚀

The level selection menu in our campaign has just received a massive update! 🎉 We've made it way cleaner and more visually appealing. 

Here's what you can expect from the new and improved level selection menu:

• Better visuals: We've given the level selection menu a sexy makeover with new, improved graphics and animations that make the menu much more appealing to the eye. 🔍
• Improved navigation: We've made navigating the level selection menu much easier. You can now use the mouse and the Steam Deck touchscreen to select levels and get Beat Banging! 🕹️

Overall, this will make the level selection menu more enjoyable. 🤩

Improved Mod Selection Menu 🛠️

We're excited to announce that we've improved the mod selection menu. We heard your feedback and have been working to make the mod selection process even more accessible and intuitive. Here's what you can expect from the improved mod selection menu:

• Improved layout: The mod selection menu has been redesigned to make it more visually appealing and easier to navigate. We've updated the design to be more user-friendly. ✨
• Better organization: We've reorganized the mod selection menu to make finding the mods you want easier. Mods are now stored in mod packs containing an entire custom campaign with multiple levels! It even has cutscene support! 📽️
• More information: We've added more information about each mod, including the mod creator's name, the title and author of the song played in each level, and a user-written description.

Cutscene Support for Mods 🎬

Cutscene support for mods is here! Cutscenes are a great way to add story elements to your mod 📜. We're pumped to be able to bring this feature to our modding community.

Adding cutscenes requires you to edit your mod's files 📂, But soon, there will be an editor in the new modding tool. You can use the editor to order images, add dialogue, and even import audio and music. 

The visual elements for cutscenes are still a work in progress. 🔨

Here are some of the benefits of the new cutscene support for mods:

• Enhanced storytelling: Cutscenes allow modders to tell more immersive and engaging stories. You can create cinematic moments and add some juicy lore elements to your modpack.
• Creative freedom: Modders have even more freedom to make their mods stand out.

Expanded Language Support 🌍

We've expanded our locale! We understand that our game has fans worldwide and want to ensure everyone can enjoy it in their preferred language.

With this in mind, we've added UI support for the following languages:

• Japanese (日本語)
• Spanish (Español) Mexicano
• Filipino (Mga Pilipino)
• Italian (Italiano)
• Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia)
• Portuguese (Português)

Some cool benefits of this expanded locale are:

• Increased accessibility: With support for more languages, we're making the game more accessible to players worldwide. Players who speak these languages can now better enjoy the game without relying on translations. 🌟
• Expanded community: By expanding the language support, we're also expanding the community of players who can enjoy Beat Banger. This means more opportunities to connect with international players. 🤝

We're excited to be able to offer support for these new languages and hope that more players will be able to enjoy the game.

Kom: I'm glad to say we're still on schedule to release the game's Steam version in April. But even after the release, you'll still get early access content as we provide updates for Act two of the game and the gay / all-male arc!

Blue: That's it for today. I've got to keep moving. See you next time!

Kom: That's all for now!~ ✨
