Localization news

Most of the work this time has been done on the system background for localization. While the game has been ready for translations since the beginning, it needed some cleanup and finishing touches. Soon I'll be adding the translations and rolling everything out - in total the game will support 11 languages soon!

Improvements

But that's not all, I've been improving the game with more feedback. Noteable mentions are two main things.

Shader customizations - this allowed me to improve the quality separately between the upgrades screen and the map. The text is now more readable on the upgrades screen and can be made even more! The classic (the default) mode is now much better. But that's not all, I've already been testing some approaches to make bigger changes, stay tuned for the future updates to see more.

Second noteable change is for those of you with two button mouses, or just a broken middle mouse button. In the settings you can now find a new section which enables emulation of the third mouse button for skill usage!
This was quite a large piece of work so it took a while but it;s now here, go give it a try please!

And the usual more smaller improvements and fixes - I hear you about that late game balance and I will be addressing it, don't worry you were heard ;-).
