Developer Letter, and the 1.4 Update

Frostrain - fixedcow

Hello, Frostrain loving conductors around the world! It's been a while, how have you been? It's been almost two months since we announced that we were launching a new update, and a lot has happened. Today we'd like to talk about.

New languages added

We've added new languages! Here are the new languages we've added

- German
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- French
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Ukrainian
- Hungarian
- Japanese

We apologize for the long wait and the late update. We had a lot of help from a lot of people, and thanks to them, we were able to make the update happen. Now you can start your journey to the promised land without language barriers!

Usability improvements

We've improved something that many of you have been complaining about.

- You can now skip the "Department of Press" rant at the start of the game. That was a lot of words, we apologize.

Bug fixes

We've also fixed some other minor bugs.

What's next

A lot has happened in the last two months. We tried to add a lot of features, and we even tried to introduce a new system, but the internal structure was much more complicated than we thought it would be, and unfortunately it didn't turn out to be successful.

However, we were too disappointed to give up on the project, so after a series of internal team meetings, we came to one conclusion: let's make a new one.

That's right, we're planning a sequel. We hope to bring you Frostrain 2 with all the exciting elements we originally wanted to include.

Unfortunately, as we've been saying all along, we all have day jobs, so it's going to be a very long development period, but we're going to keep working on it once a week and slowly but surely bring it to you.

We don't know how long this will take, because as you know, there are a lot of variables that come into play during a long development period. It could take two or three years, it could take ten years, or it could even stop halfway through. But we'll work as diligently as we can, because we're as passionate about the game as you are.

Thank you for reading this long post.

STEWDIO Reparations.
