There were more people than expected that played this game. I am really glad that so many people seem to enjoy the game and thank you for all the feedback which helped my find some bugs and improve on some other parts of the game. I tried to fix as many as I could but unfortunately I couldn't figure out all of them. I might need to improve the way of sending feedback to get more information. Nevertheless I have fixed and improved quite a few things in this update. There were surprisingly a lot of players from China and the font I use does not support the language which causes some UI problems. But there is not much I can do about it. At least it can still be shown and most of the stuff still works. Anyway here are the changes for this update:

Word Lists

The biggest change what many people have requested is different language support. So I tried to add something like that, but there is unfortunately a limitation to it. The game can't support characters that cannot be typed using a single button. So Chinese or Japanese need to be typed out using the alphabet. I added a language document in the settings to allow switching the word list to support different languages. I will provide a free DLC with example files and instructions on how to create them. So you are free to create your own lists to type. The files can be found in the install folder of the game. There will be a new folder called languages. Due to the limited space, it's currently only possible to have 5 lists/files.

Other Updates

• I decreased the default background music volume. It might have been too loud for many people. Sorry about that.
• I removed unrelated food words for manager level. It might have caused some confusion since people might not immediately notice them as invalid words.
• You now still receive money even if you typed the word wrong. Since you already lose the multiplier, there is no need for another punishment.
• I added a help document in the settings where you can read the description for each level again
• Adjusted the money multiplier for each level and renamed it in the UI so it's more noticeable.
• I added couple new words for english
• There is now an extra steam status when in-game, so that all your friends know you are working.

Bug Fixes

• FIxed a bug where using the coffee while the bar is blinking didn't reset the timer, so you would still lose.
• There is a bug in the stress increase where it just fill up way too fast, but I couldn't reproduce it either. I have now tried to limit the values wherever possible which might fix this problem.
• Simplified the scene transitions. I couldn't reproduce this either, but sometimes the transition seem to get stuck on a black screen. Hopefully this fixes it.
• Resignation document won't show your steam username if it contains non-typeable characters like Chinese or Japanese characters.
