Die deutsche Lokalisierung ist zu etwa 75% fertig, da aber alle unsere Übersetzungen von der Community erstellt werden, wird diese nie wirklich vollständig oder richtig gut sein. Ich habe mich selber in letzter Zeit darum gekümmert, diese zu verbessern und 8.0 wird einen spürbar größeren Umfang in der Übersetzung haben, aber eine Übersetzung garantieren können wir generell in keine andere Sprache als Englisch.

We're blown away, it's so great to see people 'get' what we're going for with the game, and this is just the beginning, still in Early Access, so much more to come.

"Eco made me realize that games are actually crucial for understanding our relationship to all kinds of natural and man-made systems. The thing that gives me chills is that I think it is only in games that we can play with economic systems. And I walked away from my experience in Eco feeling like I learned so much even though we had no instructor. No one was connecting the dots for us. We simply learned through play."

Der Plural wird aktuell durch Code hinzugefügt, der die verschiedenen Sprachen leider nicht beachten kann. Wir planen das zukünftig zu beheben, aber der Aufwand dafür wäre aktuell höher als der Nutzen.
