Version 1.50.32 Released

Version 1.50.32 combines three targeted improvements: a larger Arcade, a broad German localization audit, and a visual correction to the Aquarium presentation.

This update also includes additional Arcade consistency fixes discovered during the final integration pass.

Three New Arcade Cabinets

The KoC Arcade expands from 13 to 16 cabinets.

The three newly integrated games are:

• Starfall 77: Void Patrol
• Tank Grid: Core Defense
• Star Volley DX

The new cabinets are integrated into the existing Arcade framework rather than simply being added as isolated HTML files.

They now participate in KoC systems such as:

• Save mirroring
• Save restore
• Arcade progression
• Completion tracking
• Personal records
• Cabinet quests
• Circuit collections
• Hall of Fame statistics
• Arcade meta progression
• Integrity diagnostics
• Focus and return handling

Arcade Library Expanded to 16 Games

With this update, the Arcade now recognizes a total of:

16 playable cabinets

The Progress Hub and related meta systems have been updated accordingly.

The previous wording referring to only 13 cabinets has been corrected.

Arcade Records Expanded

Each new cabinet receives four personal record categories.

The total Arcade record pool now contains:

64 record categories

These records feed into the existing statistics and Hall of Fame systems.

Permanent Arcade Objectives Expanded

The permanent Arcade objective structure now includes:

• 48 cabinet-specific quests
• 5 collection objectives

For a total of:

53 permanent Arcade objectives

These provide additional long-term progression across the expanded Arcade library.

Original 13 Achievement Logic Fixed

During the integration audit, an older progression issue was discovered.

Some achievements originally designed to represent completion of the first 13 Arcade cabinets could accidentally have become obtainable by completing any 13 cabinets after the library expanded to 16.

This has now been corrected.

The legacy achievements:

• Original Circuit
• Original All Clear

now specifically evaluate the original 13 cabinets.

The newer 16-cabinet milestones remain separate.

This preserves the historical meaning of the earlier achievements while allowing the Arcade to continue expanding.

German Localization Audit

Version 1.50.32 also includes a dedicated German localization pass.

The audit focused especially on dynamic or recently added UI text that can be missed by ordinary static translation checks.

The current localization audit covers:

125 dynamic and high-priority strings

Validation result:

125 / 125 translated

0 missing German entries

Audio Settings Localization

Several newer Audio Engine settings introduced during the recent audio overhaul were included in the localization audit.

German support now covers settings such as:

• Master Volume
• UI Sounds Volume
• Ambient Volume
• Dynamic Music
• Stereo Effects
• Reduced Audio Intensity
• Pause Audio When Hidden

This ensures that the expanded Audio Engine introduced in versions 1.50.27–1.50.30 integrates properly with the German UI.

Aquarium Localization

Aquarium-related interfaces were also included in the translation audit.

Coverage includes areas such as:

• Aquarium Shop
• Fish Binder
• Fish Roster
• Aquarium equipment
• Purchase messages
• Status notifications
• Fish species
• Color terminology
• Genetic pattern terminology

The aim is to keep the Aquarium consistent with the rest of the bilingual KoC interface.

Arcade Localization

The KoC interface surrounding the Arcade now receives improved EN/DE coverage for:

• Arcade Progress
• Records
• Challenges
• Hall of Fame
• Cabinet objectives
• Collection progress
• System messages

The imported standalone games themselves retain their original internal language.

Their gameplay code and text have not been automatically rewritten as part of this update.

This avoids introducing unintended gameplay or presentation regressions inside the standalone titles while keeping the KoC wrapper bilingual.

Aquarium Position Adjustment

The Aquarium display itself was positioned slightly too high within its presentation area.

Version 1.50.32 moves the Aquarium downward by a small amount:

• Desktop: +6 px
• Mobile: +8 px

This is purely a presentation adjustment.

No Aquarium gameplay systems were changed.

Fish behavior, breeding, progression, economy, shop systems, and simulation logic remain untouched.

Existing Audio Systems Preserved

The Audio Output Hotfix from version 1.50.30 remains intact.

The following systems remain available:

• 272 music compositions
• 138 SFX events
• 23 ambient profiles
• Adaptive soundtrack states
• Regional arrangements
• Priority ducking
• Procedural ambience
• Final Web Audio output routing

No audio architecture changes were introduced in this release.

Tutorial & Onboarding 2.0 Preserved

The tutorial systems introduced in version 1.50.31 remain available without changes.

This includes:

• 10 guided chapters
• 37 tutorial steps
• 24 glossary entries
• Spotlight Engine
• Combat Training Simulator
• Recommended Next Step system

The Arcade and localization work was integrated without replacing or reducing the new onboarding framework.
