Hello everyone!

In this first part of the UI update, there have been some changes to the UI and lore for the game.

The major changes include

• German translation
  
• French translation
  
• Norwegian translation
  
• A book that stores notes, the to-do list and reputation
  
• Visual update for the interface
  
• New main menu and loading screen
  
• New interaction UI
  
• Updated notes lore
  

If there is anything that you notice could be translated better, or differently, then don’t hesitate to let me know via the forums.

Important side note:

If you are playing on a save file from when the game launched, or from the latest update, I would recommend that you create a new save file to prevent a sudden corruption of the file that has been a result of some of the old code being stuck in the save files. You can still play on your old saves, but you might experience a sudden data-loss.

As always, let me know what you think of the changes and new additions!
