Death and Taxes: Translation Updates & Spring Sale
It's Oak here, with a small update on what we've been doing with Death and Taxes. We've continuously strived to get Death and Taxes localized to other languages, and so far it's been going quite well! Recently we've added Turkish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese into the game, and these languages how now received a new round of playtesting, editing and rewrites, increasing the quality of the translations.
In addition, I fixed some smaller bugs related to text rendering, with text being cut off in some places.
Last but not least, I reworked the credits scene after you finish the game, adding the people who have worked on the translations and also making it a bit prettier!
Our next steps is to translate Death and Taxes to Korean and Japanese, and so far they are 12% and 31% done respectively. Stay tuned for more updates on this :)
There is also a community effort to translate the game to Ukranian, and it's already been done as far as 2% ^_^
Spanish translation is also coming along strong at 77%.
So, I hope y'all enjoy the Spring Sale and if you haven't yet, do considering buying Death and Taxes, it would support us immensely to bring new games to you (watch out for an announcement about a new project in this space very soon!). If you have any feedback for us, feel free to share it with us here on Steam or on our Discord!
Much love,
-Death and Taxes

We are pleased to say that we have been chosen to be part of the EAST MEETS WEST GAMES FEST! I have no idea if I should be writing that in caps, but even then, it's pretty cool so caps are okay I guess >_>
I would like to take this moment to appreciate your continued interest in Death and Taxes! And a big thank you to our publisher Hawthorn Games for bringing the game to our Chinese-speaking audience! We have performed so well, and we're overjoyed at the response. Being included in the East Meets West festival is absolutely banger!

Simplified and Chinese version of Death and Taxes is officially released today!
After more than one month of overtime working on the translation and localization of this game, 100,000+ words and 8,700+ items are all done! Thank you for your patience. (Thanks for asking, our working environment is cozier than the Death Office, because you know, we no longer use the fax machine - v -). While we've done LQA multiple times to make sure the quality, massive game script and severe constraints of time really hindered us to make it into perfect. So we will continue to optimize translations and localizations along the way.
If you encounter any flaws in the text or bugs in the game, please join our Discord. Give us feedback or share your insights with other Grim peers!
Anyway, we are happy to announce that the Simplified and Traditional Chinese version of Death and Taxes is officially released today! Yes, today!
Happy reaping! you fellow reapers!

In addition, I'm happy to announce that we have partnered with Hawthorn Games to bring the game to the Chinese audience due to popular demand! Hopefully we will have more to share with you soon, but we aim to have the game finally available in Chinese in November already. Keep an eye on this space ^_^

Broken Alliance updates!
Just wanted to let you know how things are going with our next game, Broken Alliance!!
This style of game usually has two main layers, the adventure and the combat layer. In the adventure mode, you travel the world map, gathering resources, hiring creatures, building towns and in the combat part, well, you fight. Lately we've been working a lot with the combat section of the game, and earlier this year, we made a pretty big step of going for a deckbuilding style combat.
We haven't nailed down how it will work exactly yet, but day by day we're getting closer to figuring it out. We're also trying it out in the engine (which totally works)
ok maybe it doesn't totally work yet. BUT WE'RE GETTING THERE!
The goal this week is to have the combat in such a shape that we could show it off at a private demo event this weekend, and after that we want to work on a more public demo, something that y'all can try out yourselves, too ^_^
Also, we're going to be at Gamescom! And maybe we're going to have a playable demo of Broken Alliance there >_>
...only time will tell.
So, if you like what you see, please do wishlist and follow to keep up with our progress!
Till next time!
Much love,
-Oak
