Simplified Chinese Localization + New Translation system
Hello there!
One month ago, on Github, one of you submitted a draft to translation extortion to Simplified Chinese. I am extremely happy people take this time to translate the game into their language, so I took time to (try to) review everything and improve the translation system to have a qualitative version.
This update carries a stable version of this simplified Chinese version as well as the new translation system.
I also want to talk about another project I am working on. If you like industry management games where we talk about ethics, optimizations, and lots of other stuff, take a look at my next game, Manufactur'inc. There already have two DevBlog about the game, and two more are planned in the following weeks!
If you're interested in the game, please wishlist and/or follow it! It would mean a great deal to me.
Thanks again for your support, Elanis
[Beta] Simplified Chinese and new translation system
Hello there!
One month ago, on Github, one of you submitted a draft to translation extortion to Simplified Chinese. I am extremely happy people take this time to translate the game into their language, so I took time to (try to) review everything and improve the translation system to have a qualitative version.
I already applied this version to the Store page and achievements, but I am now here to ask players (you!) for help with the game itself. Since I had to change lots of stuff, this specific update will also impact French, English, and Swedish versions in addition to this new Simplified Chinese version.
So, what am I asking? Download the beta version and launch a new game (this is important, it won't affect already done actions in-game), and play the game. If you notice any issues with the text formatting or content, I'd love to hear from you before I release this update.
So, how to play beta?
Restart your Steam client
Go into game settings via the gear icon on the top right

Announcing Manufactur'inc
Hello everyone !
Almost 3 years after Extortion release and a year and a half after Alchemistry release, I'm happy to announce that I will release a new Steam Game !
Manufactur'inc is a company and industry abstract management game. That means that you will have to grow, blueprint, optimize, and control your company to reach your objectives and compete with other players.
But achieving financial success won't be the sole purpose of the game since you will be able to make choices about ecological impact, worker happiness and a lot of other things as well !
If you're interested by the game, please wishlist and follow the game page ! You can also join us on Discord at https://discord.gg/c8aARey !
And of course, I will continue to update existing games with new features every few months for some time :)
Thanks ! Elanis
