- Localization for Westwood Shadows - 15 July 2022
Hello, After our release, we got a couple of complaints about missing subtitles for the game. From the start, we had a section under Early Access notes that mentioned that we'll be uploading all the listed languages for subtitles and that was one of the reasons Westwood Shadows was released in Early Access. We removed the languages from the store page in order to avoid any further misunderstandings. We will be adding them one at a time. We are currently translating for the below languages: Greek French German Spanish - Spain Russian Simplified Chinese Portuguese - Brazil If you want to suggest any other languages please mention them below in the comments section. Thank you RedSoup

- Development update #3 - 29 September 2020
Dear friends, We are very excited about all the positive feedback and some extremely helpful advice and suggestions from all of you who played the first demo of Westwood Shadows! When we first started this game it was just 2 people with no experience at all in making games but with a lot of passion and many stories to tell! We then released the demo to start getting feedback and this happened. Suddenly this game started to draw more attention and love from people around the world. It is your love and support that drove us into making a few decisions. First of all, the User Interfaces are getting a redesign. We consulted many gamers and we put a lot of thinking into making the user experience, as pleasant and easy to use as possible. The inventory and Journal of the game were the first Interfaces to be redesigned and recoded. Below is a screenshot of the Journal. The coding of the game a…
