Full localization is finally fully implemented in Plantera 2. The game supports 16 languages and while there is not much text in the game it has still been quite much work to fully implement and it feels very good that it is finally done!
Also while it is not yet 110% confirmed the planned release date for Plantera 2 will be April 12! (in almost exactly one month) It has been an insanely long journey but it is not much longer now!

I have been working on a feature for Plantera 2 that I call the God Mode. With these upgrades you will be able to push some world behaviours beyond their normal thresholds.. This is meant for people who want to keep playing the game past all regular unlocks.
As can be seen above, playing god can have some unexpected and very serious consequences.... ːPhenː

Not the most exiting announcement, but since I got a question about if I was going to have Steam achievements in the game (yes) and I was currently implementing them when I got the question I also thought it was a good idea to post an update about it since it was a while ago I did the last news update.
I will aim to have around 30 achievements in the game.
As for the overall status of the game, after I am done with implementing the achievements I will send the game out to a few selected testers. If no major issues are found I will then start to look for a good release window!
For the achievements seen in the picture above I will post their names below and I think it will be quite an easy guess as to how to achieve them!:
Wanted to drop another status update since it was a couple of months since the last one! Progress is going good even though I know I have wildly underestimated the time frame! I wrote a post about it in the forums since I get questions about the status of the game: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1091920/discussions/0/2264689848049975753/?ctp=10
I am still mostly working on fixing bugs and polish but I did get to implement something fun also that I mentioned in the last update. The bees. The bees will collect nectar from the plants and return to their hive to produce honey.
Just a little bit longer now..!

I just wanted to make a quick status update since I know that it was a long time since the last announcement. The reason for not having a new announcement in a long time is that the game is feature complete so there have not really been anything "new and exciting" to report :)
Right now I am basically doing runs of the game to see that everything is as I want it to be and as polished as I can make it before sending it out for bug testing. The last "run" I did I did find some things that I wanted to change so that is basically what I am doing now. One of the thing was implementing a "Tool Tip" that appears over buttons etc to better explain what they do. The other one was to make outlines on everything when you mouse over items when you select things to Move and Trash. This was quite time consuming though since I have to create outlines by hand for everything.
Also I created a Bee that I might implement..
I know it has taken a very very long time, much longer than I myself ever anticipated and even though there is almost 3 times more objects than in the first Plantera I was expecting to be finished much sooner. However I will never rush anything out before I think it is fully complete.
Anyhow my goal is to make runs of the game until I no longer find anything I really want to change or polish more. Then I will localize the game and send it out to some testers. Then it will release :)

Was focusing on trying to do the important but boring and time consuming work of ironing out bugs and balancing for release and noticed the water looked kind of bare even with the fish and dolphins in it so could not resist going on one of my regular less important tangent to add some water decorations. As with other decorations in the game they give Deco Points which is more important than regular Coins in the later game stage.
And yes I know it is taking its time, but it is coming! ;) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
