So, after nearly 2 years since the last update, I just released a new version of Blasteroids.

The focus was on replacing the UI with something a bit better, as well as adding 4 new "cheat codes" to give the gameplay some variety.

Oh, and remember this logo I mocked up nearly 3 years ago?

If any artists want to be of service, I could use a logo/title image. The game is going to be called Blasteroids, and I thought it would be neat if the "o" was a spiral galaxy. Kind of like this:

Every time I think I'm finished with this game I get some harebrained idea and whip it up. ;D

I'm preparing for another release of Blasteroids. One of the big new features this release will contain is support for "localization," or in other words, a language selection option which will change the in-game text to other languages.

I took a look at the Steam Hardware Survey and saw that 8 languages made up about 90% of all Steam users, so those are the ones that I chose to translate the game into. And I also added Dutch because one of the people I've been working with for the past several years is a native Dutch speaker, so I figured he could help me make sure the Dutch translation was good.

I mostly used this useful "Polyglot" spreadsheet for the translations, but it didn't have everything I needed so I had to rely on Google Translate for a few phrases.

So I've got English and Dutch covered. If anyone here speaks any of the other languages and would like to spend a few minutes looking through the game and checking that all the text makes sense in its respective language, I'd sure appreciate it. Respond here or send me a PM and let me know which platform you'd prefer to test it on (Windows, Linux, Mac) and I'll send you a link to a test build.

Here are the languages that will be part of the game in the next release:


* ✔ English :Thmbsup:
* Simplified Chinese (简体中文)
* Russian (Русский)
* Spanish (Español)
* German (Deutsch)
* Brazilian Portuguese (Português)
* French (Français)
* Korean (한국어)
* ✔ Dutch (Nederlands) :Thmbsup:
