This week I spent mostly on German translation (I will take one more week I think at least) and did some minor fixes. One of the problems with translation is that I have to explain almost everything to my sister (who actually does the translation), because she's not a gamer and there's a lot of gamey stuff. Also German language has longer words, which don't necessarily fit everywhere:)

Meanwhile there's something exciting for one of the next updates:

What's new in 0.7.0
July 18th, 2015

- Achievements!

If Steam client is running achievements are being saved both to Steam and locally. Otherwise achievements are saved only locally (and won't disappear when the game is updated). There are 50 achievements. I tried to make some of them more interesting, so they can be used as some kind of mission goals.

You need to start a new game to be able to get achievements. Also achievement don't work with 'Free build' option turned on.

- New houses!

Each housing level now has several variations, plus some of the houses look much better that before.

- Quite a few fixes and tweaks (thanks to everyone for the reports!), including:

- Steam overlay should now work properly.

- Shift + click on 'Shutdown' button shuts all buildings of the same type down. Same works for starting buildings up.

- Neutral and hostile structures removed from tutorial (except graveyard) just in case.

- Also I added German symbols for the upcoming German localization. My sister (who's basically German) is helping me to translate the game.

- Spanish localization is in progress. Big thanks to Joaquin from simcitycoon.com (Check his website there's info on Hearthlands and other cool games)!

- Savegames from 0.6.5 should work with 0.7.0.

This week we focused on finishing achievements. Here's the achievements screen (not all of them have pictures yet):

If Steam client is running achievements are being saved both to Steam and locally. If there's not Steam client achievements are being saved locally (and won't disappear when the game is updated).

Also I've made some of tweaks and fixes, including:

This week I focused mostly on Steam achievements. There are going to be 50 of them. I tried to make some of them more interesting, so they can be used as some kind of mission goals. About 60% of them are done; so we mostly need to make appropriate pictures for every one of them now.

Steam overlay is also going to be working properly in the next update.

New houses are done! Here are some renders:
