Update 0.10.8 (beta)

Hi Translators! 

Today we’ve got a small round of changes for the beta. A few bugfixes, a once again much-requested improvement to dictionary formatting (custom default formatting settings!), and a bit of content updates too, across hypotheses, transmissions, and dialogues. 

Some of these new additions are not thoroughly tested, so they will only apply to the Beta for now. But I’m sure they will soon make their way to the demo as well! 

Before diving into the changes, I would just like to highlight that we are over 5000 wishlists as of writing this (scratch that-- 6000 my goodness). A week ago, we were at around 300. The level of support, feedback, and kind words has been incredible. At times it feels a bit unreal. I thank you so much <3

Unrelated to this patch, but the full OST can be found on YouTube. A proper release to music platforms will come in the future.

Now, let’s take a look at the changes in this update: 

General Changes

  • Dialogues written for Week 36

  • Dialogue History properly uses the Translator’s name

  • Default formatting for new words can be set in the Dictionary’s “Global” Tab. Default Formatting Option for “After” formatting is set to “New Line”

Specific Changes

  • “:” and “;” are now accepted in Dictionary term names 

    • ‘$’ will not be added as it is used for some dialogue formatting. Sorry PHP enjoyers

    • '|' will not be added as it is used for signal embedding in dialogue. Sorry logic enjoyers

    • '@' will not be added as it is used for dialogue formatting. Sorry... email enjoyers?

  • Added hypotheses for -101 after Week 32

  • Added hypotheses for -144, -133, and -134  after Week 33

  • Updated hypotheses for -152-157

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where quickly advancing through dialogue would fail to replace embedded signals with their dictionary equivalent. 

  • Some whitespace is trimmed from transmission inputs, meaning “tab” should no longer cause in-game Compiler Errors (failed transmissions)

  • Fixed an issue following the opening cutscene, where a typing sound is heard on a black screen for ~4 seconds. 

  • Week & Act screens no longer update before the end-of-week break

  • Fixed a bug when clicking the “Set” button when naming a signal, it continues to edit the entry. 

  • Fixed “Run in Background” setting so it is no longer reversed. 

  • Fixed “Y2” typo in reference tab Distance Page.

  • Fixed “Is Is” typo in reference tab Rounding Page.

  • Fixed an issue with the beta-dictionary-updater (should not have affected most players).

Transmissions & Ideas

  • Transmission 92 fixed small error

  • Transmission 181 fixed small error

  • Transmission 294 updated

  • Transmission 359 fixed small error

  • Transmission 361 fixed small error

  • Transmission 556 updated and added submission listener

  • Transmission 388 updated for clarity

  • Transmission 508 added Idea

  • Transmission 559 fixed small error

  • Transmission 578 updated

  • Transmission 599 fixed error

Thanks again as always. Now, back to developing! 

(P.S. We’re just over 1 week from release!)
