Localisation is a tricky job, even when not contemplating languages English has tried its hardest to stamp out over the centuries. But in the present day’s 1.eight replace for Dicey Dungeons brings developer Terry Cavanagh’s dice-roller somewhat nearer to residence by including full Irish language assist, alongside correct gamepad controls, steadiness overhauls and two new baddies who’ve been ready on the sidelines since launch.
Described by Brendy in his Dicey Dungeons review, Cavanagh’s newest is a captivating “make-your-own-luck” dice-rolling deck-builder with some highly effective Saturday morning cartoon vibes. This week’s patch doesn’t dramatically change the game, as a substitute quietly including some very welcome additions to the game’s cube pool.
On the technical aspect, Update 1.eight provides gamepad assist to Dicey Dungeons together with two new(ish) enemies: the Bounty Hunter and Drain Monster. I say new-ish, as a result of each have been lower on the final minute earlier than the game’s launch last August. While the Bounty Hunter had an opportunity of displaying up as a remix baddie or achievement problem, Drain Monster hasn’t seen daylight ’til now, with each now showing as uncommon encounters.
But the key spotlight of in the present day’s patch is full localisation into Gaeilge. In spite of my (largely Northern) Irish roots, I sadly don’t know a lot of something in regards to the Irish tongue. But its addition is a welcome one – one thing developer Cavanagh felt was a “big deal” to implement given the shortage of games out there in his ancestral tongue, and labored with the translators at Ríomhacadamh to make a actuality.
He does, at the least, take a second to shout out Dreamfeel’s If Found – a game that, past having language assist, additionally gives contextual descriptions for Irish cultural touchstones all through its textual content. Its addition in Dicey Dungeons also needs to be a welcome one for the streamers keeping the Irish language alive on Twitch, a neighborhood that does unbelievable work with what little they’re given by means of official localisations.
Update 1.eight additionally comes with a “substantial design update” to Robot Episode 3, plus numerous optimisations, steadiness tweaks and bug fixes that may be discovered over on the official patch notes.
