Long time no see, but it doesn't mean I was drinking a pina colada with Waffles (I wasn't).
I'm happy to share this new major update with 3 main new features:
Workshop localization
16:10 resolutions compatibility
Steam cloud saves
I have to be honest with you, this is the probably the last big update for Inspector Waffles and from now I'm going to focus mostly on my next games.
Workshop localization
Some weeks ago, I found out that some non official localizations were available on Internet: it was a good surprise to see some players who were interested to make their own translations of my game. I helped them by creating a easier framework to include it in game. Fortunately, Steam lets devs to implement Steam workshop for community content.
Anyway, with this new feature, you'll be able to make the game in any language you want. If you are interested, I made an article which describes everything you need to know: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/discussions/18446744073709551615/5135803832916502175/?appid=1055850
Big special thanks to Vinczei who helped a lot to test it. He also did an hungary translation, which is super nice. You can already download it as a workshop item.
16:10 resolutions compatibility
Finally you can play Inspector Waffles in 16:10 resolutions, all bugs related to these screen resolutions are now fixed.
Steam cloud saves
Your save files are now stored in Steam cloud, you can now play through the game on different computers.
Thanks again for your feedbacks and support, and hope to share some news soon :)

INSPECTOR WAFFLES IS OUT!
Hello, Inspectors! We are so happy to announce that (drum roll please!)...
Inspector Waffles is now available!
[previewyoutube="j1mqUX3Nqj0;full"]
What a journey it was! I've been working almost alone on Inspector Waffles for more than three years, and I'm very proud to be finally able to share it on Steam (and GOG, if you prefer DRM-free!).
Thanks again to my amazing community who have helped so much with testing and feedback. There are over 300 of us in the Discord server, so please join in the fun!
And one very important request: if you're enjoying the game, please please please
leave a review on Steam!
It's so important and helps a lot with visibility -- it's a great way to encourage Steam to recommend the game to other players!
What next?
A minor update will happen soon, mostly to fix some typos and optimize game performance. If you see any bugs, feel free to let me know in the Discord!
Sidequest merch
You won a prize during the side quest contest? Congrats! We're working as fast as we can to send your goodies, and they'll be on their way very soon. If case you missed the original contest announcement, here are the goodies we're sharing with contest winners!
Thanks for your support, and have fun playing Inspector Waffles :)
I hope you are all well! I'm very happy to share that Inspector Waffles will be part of the Steam Festival! You'll be able to watch it right here on the Inspector Waffles Steam page!
THERE WILL BE ANNOUNCEMENTS!
The Inspector Waffles sidequest game, The Kidnapped Catnip, is running, and the prizes (some are physical!) are so good!
Just a quick reminder:
Every person will get their name in Inspector Waffles' credits
Ten people will be randomly chosen to receive a high-quality vinyl sticker of the Inspector Waffles logo
Five people will be randomly chosen to receive a limited-edition official Cat Town Police Department Inspector's Notebook
The first 5 winners will receive the official Notebook + Waffles logo sticker
The first person to complete the final ARG puzzle will get both the physical rewards, PLUS they will name a character in the game
As mentioned, the ARG will be released in parts, one part per week. On February 3, when the contest begins, I will share additional details here on Steam, on Twitter, and in Discord for where to go and how to play. In the meantime, you'll want to make sure you are a member of the Inspector Waffles Discord!
Please leave any comments or questions here in the meantime. Otherwise, I'll have more info on the case very soon!
The Kidnapped Catnip!
Hello, Inspectors! I hope everybody is enjoying THE BIG ADVENTURE EVENT! It's a treat for Inspector Waffles to be showcased alongside so many other great games. If you haven't yet, visit the event page and check out some of the demos!
BUT BEFORE YOU GO! More waffley announcements to make!
I will soon be able to share the launch date for Inspector Waffles. Until then, I want to let you all know about an ARG we are hosting! (Not "arg" as in "arg I'm a pirate", but "ARG" as in "Alternate Reality Game") Our ARG 'metagame' is a side-story featuring Waffles and a character you haven't met yet: the tech wizard Pixel! You are personally invited to put on your Inspector hats and solve the mystery of...
THE KIDNAPPED CATNIP!
Dun dun dunnnnn! A huge shipment of catnip has been stolen! Beginning February 3, it'll be up to Pixel and Waffles (and you!) to solve the mystery. If you don't recover the catnip, how will it be legally distributed so cats can recreationally relax?! Mystery!
The Kidnapped Catnip ARG is a multi-part contest. By completing the final puzzle, you automatically win a reward. More details below on what the prizes are!
