The main goal of this upcoming update is to improve accessibility, reduce players getting stuck and redesign some areas of the game that are not representing what the game is about.
The official Demo is now on Steam!
Camera
- There has been a major bug that caused the default camera speed to be at almost 0, this has now been resolved
Menu
The menu has gotten quite an overhaul. I have decided to change the floaty interface to a screen overlay. This improves readability and allows me to show the menu more reliably.
- Menu is now an overlay that dims the screen
- Menu can now be activated during text scenes with some minor exceptions
- Latest Log now scales properly when there are too many lines instead of cutting them off
- Fixed a bug that caused music and ambient volume to fall down to 20% when exiting the game when the menu is open (If you have encountered very loud sounds, that was the issue. Make sure to check the sound settings after this patch)
- Quit Game no longer requires the player to keep holding a button. Press the exit key and accept to close the game.
- Default Settings were messed up when the game was started for the first time, this has now been resolved
Text Scenes
- It is no longer possible to skip text with B or SHIFT
- You can now auto-complete text by pressing A/Space and start skipping text by holding A/Space
- Fixed some smaller typos
- Changed some sentences that were grammatically correct but sounded bad
- Added some sentences to chapter 2 that might help finding the way to continue the main plot
- It is no longer possible to select and edit the text by pressing TAB
Levels
- Added a subtle hint to the exit gate of Kronos Bridge
- Changed the size of a trigger in the second level
- Updated several levels to be conform with the new menu and skip mode
Linux
- It should now be less likely for the mouse cursor to show up, but unity can’t be helped to show it once in a while. Opening the ingame menu (ESC) will hide the cursor again, should it still occur. I’ll try and file a bug for Unity in the next days and maybe get them to give it a fix.
