• NEW LANGUAGES FOR BREAD & FRED - 16 February 2024

  Hey everyone! While we are working on some big special things you all are waiting for (and some other secret stuff), we decided to incorporate some new languages to the range we already have in Bread & Fred! We think it is important that everyone can enjoy the game in their own language, so all of us at Sand Castles want to embrace and recognise the identity a language has for their users. So, we are adding: Polish, Turkish and Latin American Spanish! In total we have 13 languages including: English, European Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean and NOW Polish, Turkish, Spanish (LATAM) For now we are putting a pause on more localization, but what other languages are you guys missing?

We also wanted to thank you all for this amazing year. 2023 has been wild for us and has changed our lives completely, and a big part of that is because of you and your support for our raging penguin game. Thank you everyone! Have a great end of the year and we will see you all next year, with (hopefully) some BIG news.

• Online Multiplayer Fix - 25 August 2023

  Hello everyone! We know some of you have been experiencing some issues regarding the online multiplayer. It's been quite difficult to know what was the problem, since some players experienced connections issues, others have an extreme ping and in general it wasn't a consistent problem to solve immediately, so we need to solve this ASAP. We are working on a mini-rework on the online system that probably will solve a lot of these issues (we hope so at least) and we hope to launch this fix very soon, we just need a little bit of patience. We know Bread & Fred relies heavily on the multiplayer aspect, and we hate that some of you aren't having a good experience with it. Don't worry, we are aware of these problems, and we are doing everything in our hands. If you want this fix to be sooner, you can help us out explaining exactly what connection/lag issues you have and not only "online works…
