  Update: English Voice-Over

  New Additions: English voice-over is now available. Options Enhancement: Window Mode & V-Sync: Added a window mode toggle and a V-Sync toggle. FPS Cap: When V-Sync is disabled, you can now set a maximum frame rate. (Thanks to several friends for their private feedback on 3D motion sickness experiences and details) (Thanks to Forharnia for the specific suggestions in her review) Fixes: Made a series of minor adjustments to sounds and interactions. Fixed an audio issue that occurred when replaying after completing the game. Developer Notes: For 3D motion sickness, the new settings may help alleviate the issue. Window Mode: Generally considered effective due to providing additional stable visual references (i.e., the desktop outside the game window). V-Sync: Opinions vary; some players find it worsens motion sickness when enabled, while others find it necessary. Screen-tearing and insufficient-frame-continuity are common culprits for motion sickness. V-Sync helps to eliminate screen tearing by synchronizing the game's frame rate with your monitor's refresh rate, so its influence can vary depending on your hardware. if your monitor's refresh rate isn't very high, it means to reduece the fps of game. To simplify: Lower Hardware Performance: If your hardware is average and frame rates are typically lower, it's recommended to keep V-Sync on to stabilize frame rates and prevent screen tearing. Higher Hardware Performance: If your hardware is powerful and can sustain high frame rates, consider turning V-Sync off and setting a high frame rate limit. This can prevent potential frame rate drops due to V-Sync, especially if your monitor's refresh rate isn't very high. Events & Exhibitions: Our game has been shortlisted for the DevGAMM Awards 2024, We'll be participating in the Southern Europe Game Fest this month. A big thanks to DevGAMM for the selection and support. Thank you for reading. Enjoy your gaming and have a wonderful and warm winter!

To better support various exhibition scenarios in the future, we have made a series of adjustments and detailed rules specifically for the exhibition context, including but not limited to: 1.We decided to use a Playtest branch version running on the Steam client for the exhibition. Considering the ease of updates and platform features (Stats/Achievements), Also, because we experienced ‘Word Game’ at the 2022 Beijing Biennial, we were inspired by the exhibition method it employed.” 2.We also activated a Steam account dedicated to the exhibition, making backend data easy to query and control via the Steam API. We built a series of non-global stats specifically for the exhibition context. Queries by the WebAPI: https://partner.steam-api.com/ISteamUserStats/GetUserStatsForGame 3.We believe achievements are an important part of the gaming experience, and the Playtest version also supports the achievement system. We configured the Playtest version with the same achievement data as the main game to ensure that on-site players can have a complete experience. To adapt to the exhibition context and ensure that player turnov...
