Features added:
Localization for Simplified Chinese, German, and Korean has been added
Bugs Fixed:
Maps for Soccer Sands and Azure Abyss have been updated.
Menu display issues caused by incorrect fonts have been fixed.
Known Issues:
Rapidly changing languages will cause issues in Reward phrasing in the Training Cloud
Resetting the Animo’s brain during the tutorial will render the Animo unlikely to pass the tutorial quests (don’t do this, please! 😢).
The achievement “Artifical Archeologist” may unexpectedly unlock.
Under certain circumstances, the tooltip length will remain at its max size and not wrap the text correctly.
Under certain circumstances, during the second quest of the tutorial, the dialogue will use older, unlocalized text for all langauges.
