I wanted to thank everyone who voted for No Time in this years awards session.
A new side quest has been made public! Will you be able to track down The illusive Dude?
The question is, do you bisque?
Be also sure to check out the revampe Accordion Man quest, in case you haven't finished it yet.
Major bosses in No Time now sport their own dedicated health bar.
Lots of smaller features and revamps have been made to the game. The new studio intro as you have likely seen, the standart unity options box has been removed and all graphics options are now able to be altered mid game!
I have a bucket list of things to fix and add or revamp for 2021. Stay tuned for more :)
As per usual I leave the full changelog below.

V 0.62 || Custom Key Binding || PSX Mode
The first of a number of updates for this roadmap has just been released.
One of the main changes has been the inclusion of custom keybinding and revamps to the pause menu.
Partial controller support is not ready yet, but it should be added in the next major update. Once that releases, the controller support will not have custom key biding for now, but it may get added in the future.
Another fun addition is the PSX mode, giving you possibly some nostalgic feelings from the late 90s. While it is not quite finished yet, you can have it as a kind of preview.
Some of the jittery vertecies effect (originally in the psx due to no floating percission) has to be set up yet in the right way. I am stitching together different pieces of shader variants for retro effects, to get the perfect presentation working. Stay tuned on that for more!
The next update will include revamps to the Accordion Man quest (hold off before playing it therefore). I also want to another new side quest coming along. The question is, who is the dude...?
The change log is displayed below as usual.
Cheers and God bless -Erathor

ACT III Release Patch is incoming
Hello fellow players, I recently saw many comments about bugs.
Some have been reported due to being on the unstable test branch, which is as the name suggests experimental and not the official version. I removed that one from the public now, so you should be automatically moved to the default version.
There is a list of fixes soon coming to the default version.
Hope you will enjoy ACT III :)
Cheers and God bless.

ACT III Release planned for this week!
Greetings fellow players!
Well finally we are here. ACT III is planned to release on thursday this week. November 12th to give you a number :)
The update will include a new save system which means, if you want to continue your old save game, you need to switch to the legacy branch. This version of the game will be the current default one before the release of ACT III.
A new save system also means that you need to restart your game. But trust me it will REALLY pay off. While the default branch did not get any new updates for a while, this update will include big revamps to ACT I and II. A big overhaul to the visuals of the AI cars. and inner workings! More things to do, and explore! Being able to experience the story leading up to ACT III in a new and revisioned way!
Here is the official and final trailer for No Time's Main Story: https://youtu.be/Ce8cFBocvKc?list=PLViudMPECwSsA6hZj5NZ_5fZSGmctnX9e
I am also announcing a possible long play on saturday. You can find more info about it in our Discord Community :) https://discord.gg/73S46Gs Now here is a summary of the full changelog.

V0.46 Revamp V
Hello fellow players :D
You the next update includes the rest of the alternate future! You have to stop at the point, when you got to land on park hill after escaping. The next update will pick up from there :) NOTE: DO NOT continue after the sequence, where Edward cuts open the gate.
These phases are basically the revamps as they are being worked on. They will not include the reworked save files, meaning that you will have to replay ACT I and II once the release of ACT III happens.
DO NOT save if you want to keep your old save on the other branches. Only save if you want to start a new game on this branch.
The Legacy branch is for all who want to continue with their old save files even after ACT III released.
In this update, you will explore the secret inner workings of TOWER I, the residence of The Consul, also called Mr. C.
