Greetings Terrans!

We finished inserting French, Spanish and Russian scripts for the game. Additionally, the Thai and Portuguese Brazilian translations are close to completion and will hopefully be finished by the end of this year!

Art

9 out of 10 CGs are complete for the first DLC while 3 more CGs have been sketched for the first and second DLC. 700HASH is now switching to sketches-only while Doubleleaf will take care of both linearting and coloring.

You might be wondering why we are hurrying with the DLC illustrations when the main game isn't even out yet. You see, in a couple weeks, 700HASH will no longer have time to work on The Symbiant. In order to keep the game's artstyle consistent, we offloaded as much as we could to our second artist, Doubleleaf. This started with the coloring, but from now on, Doubleleaf will take care of the linearting as well, while 700HASH will provide sketches for the remainder of assets needed for the DLC.

This collaboration is working well for us so far and we're very happy with how the CG turned out!

Writing

In order to get 700HASH to finish the sketches on time, Irlana is prioritizing writing all the relevant scenes! A good 75% of the second DLC is written.

Programming

These past weeks were dedicated to inserting other languages into the game. So far we have completed: English, German, Japanese, Italian, French, Spanish and Russian, in that order. This leaves: Simplified + Traditional Chinese, Thai, Portuguese Brazilian, and Korean to complete.

Fable started gathering all the completed DLC assets and exporting the hundreds of expression layers for the 2 new characters who will appear in the DLC. Having them to the right size and naming the files properly is essential to make the actual coding smoother!
