Update 1.02
I have finished the first round of formatting for all of the books in the library. There are still some issues, but they should all be much more pleasant to read now! I will now focus on the second round of formatting and the preparation of the Chinese version of the game.Read full article on Community Announcements (den amerikanske drage jake long)Patch NotesOfficial
Update 1.01
First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of updates for this game so far. There have been technical issues with the project file where I work on this game ever since release which has only now been resolved. This means that I can finally begin to update 'Reading Simulator'. The first update (which is this one) is a response to feedback from some users who have found it difficult to read the books as they are simply too small. Therefore, I have increased the size of the books when reading by 50%. I hope this will help the issue. Furthermore, I want to announce what is being worked on right now as a part of upcoming updates (release dates for these are unknown): NOTE: These are NOT in the game yet! - A fix of formatting (Fixing the overlapping of text making it difficult to read, adjusting the text to the new book sizes, etc.) - Chinese localization including a library containing Chinese literary classics written fully in their original language. - Achievements.Read full article on Community Announcements (Shoho Games)Patch NotesOfficial
