Its finally time - 0.3.5 is available RIGHT NOW! This will probably be the final "major" update to demo, bringing a lot of bugfixes and improvements.
There are also some experimental features, most notably VAULTING IS MANUAL NOW! Im not sure how this will play out so any feedback on this is appreciated. I might revert it later.
There are also lot of significant changes to the games code so there will be new bugs again - any bug reports are appreciated!
New Features
added Revelo Cognitive Stimulator
Basically a minigame copying the popular wordgame "Wordle". The principle is the same but it features a "custom" libary of solutions which are somewhat relevant to the world/lore. It can be found on a few terminals across the game (Offices is the easiest one to get to). The solution changes every day, theres bunch already, might add more in the future (suggestions are welcome).
Yes its canon.
EXPERIMENTAL: game translation
WIth the help of all the translation volunteers (which is now credited!) there is now the ability to run the game in different languages other than english and german. You can try it out using the "language" command in the console (eg; "language ru" for russian). Right now the most complete languages are spanish and russian (with a few strings missing). the other languages (dutch, french, chinese) are largely unfinished and will probably just give you a lot of errors.
If you can speak any of these languages, getting feedback on them would be very helpful.
