Bare Witness News

Hello, all!

With this patch we've added Italian to the list of languages the game can be played in. As with other updates, please let us know if you notice anything weird or wonky with this update or with the translation in general.

This small patch is intended to fix a relatively rare bug that caused players who completed the game to loop back around into the middle of chapter 4. If you experience any weirdness with the game's endings after this, please let us know.

This was a small patch just to fix some pathing issues that arose from earlier fixes. No big changes, but if you are playing an earlier save you might find that you aren't getting the scenes you had seen on that path before. If that happens, you'll need to start a new game. This is more likely on paths involving Athena, so keep an eye open for any scenes you should be seeing/unlocking.

This small patch should fix some pathing issues some of you have mentioned on various romance paths. You should no longer see yourself forced onto a path at the start of chapter 5 that you did not specifically choose.

We've also localized the Gallery for both Portuguese (Brazilian) and Simplified Chinese, and our translators are currently working on the French translation. The gallery had previously already been translated for our Russian-speaking players.

We believe this should be the last translation fix necessary. Players who were encountering errors pointing toward the French translation should no longer have those. We'll be keeping an eye out in case players happen upon any further errors, so please report them if you find them.

It's taken us some time to really understand how the translations work in Ren'Py, and one of our moderators (608xperience, who's been active on the forums here) has been instrumental in getting these errors fixed and imparting his knowledge on us. As first-time developers, we're grateful for both his assistance and your patience. We may not get it right out the gate, but we're not going to step away until we know everything is working as intended.

Thanks again, and as always if you discover anything wonky going on, please let us know in the bug reports forum.
