Hey everyone! We’ve got another patch ready for you, and it adds a couple of very cool features that will make the game more accessible to more folks out there. We’ve implemented audio cues and… The game now has a Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) translation! All thanks to the efforts of one of our community members, currl aya!

Audio cues are an accessibility option that displays notifications at the top of the screen whenever an audio file or music track is played back during gameplay. They describe the audio itself and the audio channel it’s a part of. Our hope is that this will help those with hearing issues, but it’s also going to be a handy way of learning the names of each song and the composer’s intent for each of them!

And now for a quick word from our translation extraordinaire, currl aya:

“Please love our parks XD”

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Changelog 1.1.1

General improvements and bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where starting the game in English, switching the game language to Simplified Chinese, completely closing the game, and then reopening it could cause Simplified Chinese bold text to be unable to render.
• Fixed an issue where character-specific textbox patterns would not show when the game language was set to Simplified Chinese, instead showing the generic textbox pattern.
