Emerges from his cave completely disheveled and is blinded by the sunlight...👋 Hello dear Nowherians and lovers of bureaucracy! How are you all doing? I hope you're doing great.First of all, I'd like to apologize. My plan was to release an update a few weeks ago featuring feedback I had gathered over this period, but a mountain of paperwork and the need to disconnect for a while ended up forcing me to postpone it. Fortunately, everything is back on track now, so I hope to have news regarding that very soon.Now, moving on to the main reason for this post, I'd like to share how I plan to handle the new languages that will be added to The State of Nowhere after giving the matter a lot of thought.Since I can't afford professional translations and, at the same time, I want the game to be available in more languages, I've decided to use an AI-assisted translation system supported by detailed…

Hello dear Nowherians! 👋 I’m happy to announce that a new update is now available, bringing the following features:A statistics menu where you can track your overall in-game progress.A collectibles menu where you can view all available achievements, as well as all endings with a brief guiding description.The game will now check on startup for any unlocked achievements that were not registered on Steam.

Next, I’ll be working on an update based on all the feedback gathered so far, which—if everything goes well—should be ready in early May.

To ensure that the Malignism ending can be reached and doesn’t depend so much on random occurrences, the following changes have been made: Robbers now have a 100% chance to appear until all item drops from neutralizing them have been completed; after that, their appearances will be random.
