Hello Giants! We are beyond happy to finally launch our first localization of the game and are already working on the next one! To celebrate this first milestone, the game has [b]a -20% discount [/b]during all the Summer Sales on Steam! The Zhangjiajie National Forest Park located in the Hunan Province in China was recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Site in 1992. The park is recognizable by the unique pillar-like stones formations that can be seen in it. Did you know that one of these pillars was renamed [i]“Avatar hallelujah Mountain”[/i] in honor of the movie[i] Avatar[/i] by James Cameron in 2010?
