I haven&#8217;t stopped working on Fruit Typing Challenge, though! A lot has happened behind the scenes since my last update, so I wanted to share some of the bigger changes with you.<\/p>\n<h2>Rewritten with NVGT<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest changes is that I completely rewrote Fruit Typing Challenge using <strong>NVGT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The previous version is still available on itch.io, but rewriting the game in NVGT gives me the possibility of bringing the game to other platforms in the future.<\/p>\n<h2>New Hardcore Mode<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve added a new <strong>Hardcore Mode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In Hardcore Mode, mistakes are not allowed. Make a mistake, and the game is over!<\/p>\n<h2>New Custom Mode<\/h2>\n<p>A brand-new <strong>Custom Mode<\/strong> has also been added.<\/p>\n<p>You can choose your own number of rounds and time limits, as well as toggle power-ups on or off.<\/p>\n<p>Custom Mode is designed mainly for practice, so it doesn&#8217;t affect your high scores or achievements.<\/p>\n<h2>Language Translation System<\/h2>\n<p>Fruit Typing Challenge now has a <strong>language translation system<\/strong>, allowing people to contribute translations for the game.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the available translations are still AI-generated. If you&#8217;d like to contribute or improve a translation, feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/hongjun.org\/?page_id=10\"> contact me<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also continued making improvements to the game&#8217;s accessibility and overall experience along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for continuing to support and follow <strong>Fruit Typing Challenge<\/strong>, and again, I&#8217;m sorry for disappearing for so long without an update.<\/p>\n<p>Development is still ongoing, and I hope to have more to share with you in the future!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hong Jun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fruit Typing Challenge \u2014 Development Update Hello everyone!
