Another killer day of productive coding:
Started the day with hard-coded English strings in the game.
Now we have google-docs spreadsheet, data-driven via the magic script strings with IDs.
But why stop there?
While you are at it, why not start the localization effort *now* instead of later?
Bam! EB: Now supporting 14 languages including Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic and Klingon!
Each localization file is a separate google doc to facilitate sharing exclusive to a particular translator.
Localization changes can be fetched and the game updated while running - leveraging all the work from yesterday!
Next - tutorials, quests and achievements!
