Greetings in our first devlog for 2024!

We hope that you had a splendid Christmas and New Year's Eve celebration. We certainly did!

After a somewhat lazy start to the month, we're now back in full swing with our development efforts. As highlighted in earlier devlogs, our primary focus remains on enhancing the combat flow, introducing fresh UI layouts with comprehensive game controller support, and refining the artificial intelligence of our in-game enemies.

Initially, I had planned to share a brief video featuring a before-and-after comparison of our progress. However, I decided to shelve that idea temporarily. The current version under development is grappling with glaring issues related to lighting and the rendering of weapons. Perhaps I’ll showcase these improvements in the next devlog once these technical hurdles are fixed.

While our programming team is immersed in their assignments, I've been delving into research for our localization implementation, exploring our options for potential improvements. Drawing upon my past experience as a translator in community projects for various games, I've decided to give it a try and create a community translation project for Evil’s Den. Currently, it includes strings related to the Steam store, but in the coming days I’ll expand it to include in-game strings soon.

If you're keen on contributing to our translation initiatives or if you come across any translation errors that you might be filling to fix yourself, we invite you to join our project on Crowdin and be part of this collaborative effort!
