Patch notes: v0.2.1
Improvements * We've implemented a Chapter Select. I'm not sure if this functionality will be in the final game, but it will be useful for Early Access. I'm hoping no one ever loses a save again, but realistically, while the game is still being built these things can happen.
* Deadworld has had some improvements to the art. There is more junk around, and the green liquid now flows.
* The game should now force a change to your resolution to be at the ideal resolution for the game
* You are now told when you've progressed from one chapter to the next
* Solve now holds one of the lanterns you picked up
Bug resolutions * Resolved issues with Hotspots sometimes being disabled when they shouldn't be, ruining EVERYTHING.
* Jake was missing in Elsewhere for some Mac users, if he's not back I'm gonna ring his mum. But he should be back.
* Spelling mistakes, big ups to Orlando for somehow finding a double space that I didn't even know was there.
* In the Right Wing corridor in the Vault, you could walk on top of a bookcase. Alex, unfortunately, does not have that particular superpower.
* Rieko no longer reads her book instead of talking to you during the last cutscene in Deadworld
* Resolved a save bug in the Classroom
* Siena told you, you'd finished recovering her sweets before she should have. That liar.
Known Issues * Play in Window has stopped working.
* Saves sometimes stop working
Part II and Mac Support
Hi there,
Just a quick note to let you know that Part II is now available on Mac and Windows!
There is a chance that your save files may not have survived. Sorry in advance if this affects you. Pretty soon we will enable you to skip between the parts, so if you don't want to replay Part I in order to play Part II just wait a little longer and you won't have to.
Also, just a reminder that we are in Early Access, so please let me know if you experience any bugs or find any spelling/grammar mistakes. My team and I do our best to pick these up, but some always end up slipping through.
We've made countless improvements to the experience based on your feedback so far, however, there are still a few things outstanding:
- The menus and some scenes behave strangely on some screen sizes (we're working on supporting more screen sizes) - in the meantime, if you set your screen resolution to 1920x1080 you won't have a problem.
- We have yet to implement gamepad support or mouseless play, we do plan on working on this soon
- There are some bugs in the save / load system right now when loading games from Part I. We're not sure of the cause of this yet but are investigating.
Thanks so much, everyone, and just a reminder we have a very lively Discord channel if you'd like to join the conversation or even speak with me directly: https://discord.gg/UWnes4F
