Translation Beta - Widget Inc. localized!

18 Dec

Bonjour, guten Tag, hola, olá!

I've been hard at work in the background, getting the game ready to be translated into multiple languages. When I started work I never intended for the game to be in any language other than English - as I didn't have any plans for a major release. However, seeing the success so far, it only makes sense to translate Widget Inc. for non-English-speaking parts of the world, to include more people who might otherwise be unable to enjoy the game.

So, the past few weeks has been me going through the game with a fine-toothed comb, extracting every single line of text and converting them into a format that's more conducive to being translated. And the first version is finally here!

Supported languages

Right now, I have translated the game into German, French, Spanish and Portuguese. At the moment these are fully machine-translated, as apart from maybe German I'm nowhere near fluent enough to judge the quality of translation. There are also some issues with text being too long to fit into buttons and similar issues. Therefore, I have decided to release the update as a beta through Steam. If you'd like to help fully translating the game into one of the four listed languages, please give it a try! You can opt-in for the beta through Steam (right-click the game in your library and choose 'Properties'):

If you have suggestions for better translations, found text that doesn't make sense or is still untranslated, doesn't fit in bounding boxes - please let me know! I've created a channel in the game's Discord server for feedback on this beta test. Here's the Discord link in case you haven't joined yet:
Widget Inc. Discord[discord.gg]

Other languages may follow in the future, if there is enough demand. So please make yourselves heard if there are more popular languages that I should consider including in the game!

Thought the art was AI generated, but I figured I was going crazy.

Sure enough, there's AI generated imagery according to the Steam page. I should've paid more attention!
Oh well, to the refund bin with you. Definitely not fun enough to look past.

Patch 1.1.20 - City Life Cycle

22 Nov

Hi all,

After a few bugfix-patches during the launch window it's time for a bit more of a substantial update! Of course, there's also a few more bugfixes and balance changes here, but also the first new content after launch: Three new frames have been added! While all three are optional and not required to actually finish the game, they will hopefully provide some variety and alleviate annoying bottlenecks in the midgame.

The first addition is the Recycler frame. It is unlocked in Tier 5, and must be placed on a City or Ruin.
While active, the Recycler slowly sifts through the city's waste materials and converts them into raw materials: Iron Ingots, Batteries and Circuit Boards.

Later in Tier 8 you unlock the City Builder. This is the first "real" way to terraform your world, as the City Builder will slowly convert nearby tiles into Cities. And best of all - each City tile constructed will provide your with a permanent Productivity bonus for all of your other frames! However, the cost of adding tiles does increase as you build more of them.

The final stage of a City's life cycle comes at Tier 10: The Leveler. This new frame aggressively grinds through nearby City tiles - either created by the City Builder or already present on the map - and slowly converts them into Ruin tiles. During this process the Leveler extracts random items from the city, giving another small boost in production for some of the items that you may be lacking.

Other changes

Aside from the three new frames, there are also some other noteworthy changes to discuss:

Increased productivity for all Power upgrades.
A common bottleneck is the production of Power - even more so now that there are three new frames that each require power in some form or another. Therefore, I decided to increase the potency of all Power Productivity upgrades. This should help Oil Power Plants stay more relevant into the midgame, and reduces the bottleneck experienced when you first start production of Cloud Widgets.
Added "Available max" to inventory statistics. This number shows how many items can be crafted per second, provided all ingredients are available.
While it's not quite the "stats screen" I had in mind, I did add this often requested feature in the meantime. You can now easily see what your current production capacity is for any item in your inventory, providing all needs are met.
The first four levels of Prestige no longer increase frame costs (and the cost increase of further levels has also been decreased accordingly)
A common complaint is that Prestige feels kind of useless, since most costs also increase when you do. While that's not entirely true (costs do increase, but at a slower rate than production increases), I do understand the frustration. Therefore, the first four levels of Prestige no longer have a cost increase associated, and cost increases for all further Prestige levels have been reduced.

And some general bugfixes:
Tweaked number formatting for large numbers.
Rocket Fuel frame also grants a bit of storage space for additional fuel.
Glitched Frame can no longer be copied, moved, or deconstructed.
Changed Thinking Core, AI Core, Sentient Core sprites to make them easier to distinguish on the world map.
Prevented Copper Ore buttons from overlapping.
Prevented map details from changing when the map is redrawn.
Improved Warehouse tech description (to highlight the fact that they must be constructed).
Fixed bug where tech costs aren't calculated properly when switching between Prestige levels.
Added Auto upgrade 2 and 3 to Tech that is retained when Prestiging.
Made available (unpurchased) Tech nodes a bit easier to spot.
Omega Project Assembler now resets properly when switching to the world map.
Picoscale Lab now resets properly when switching to the world map.
Fixed "Ascend 10 times" achievement not tracking properly.

Prestige / Career / Ascend

What is the difference between these 3 terms? Thinking for the achievemenes. Ascend: What you push the left button after N rocket firings. Is career a single save file? A game without ascending first, or can you ascend and then do 10 rockets? There is an achievmenet "Ascend 10 times in a single career". Can we get a clarification?...

macOS support

I'd love to have native macOS support, I'm available to help test or even help with the build configuration (for free)! I know we can run it in wine but it has its issues, its a workaround not proper support.
