We just released Update 1.6, introducing an all new "Hard Mode", Hurricane quick game, lot's of new languages and a dedicated Chinese website.

Read the full changelog below:

Changes:

• Added a new “Hard Mode”!
  In this all new game mode, you don’t see the effects your decisions will have before making a decision. This adds a whole new layer of complexity for experienced players, where you need to carefully consider the consequences each decision might have on both the scores and future scenarios.
  
• The Hurricane disaster is now playable in Quick Game mode!
  
• Added a new dedicated website (projectplanet.cn) with hosting in China. This should fix the connection issues some Chinese players were experiencing.
  
• We added a whole list of new (experimental) translations to the game!
  
  • German
    
  • (LATAM) Spanish
    
  • (Brazilian) Portuguese
    
  • Russian
  Please note that these translations may not be perfect yet. We’d love to hear your feedback on the translations in our Discord channel or Steam Community hub!
