Controller fix, vibration, mini game
Hello guys, I hope you are all safe and well!
I bring you a new update!
New support for controllers and vibration
In November 2020, with the change in the Steam library to support the new generation controllers, some types of controllers suffered an incompatibility issue with Raccoo Venture.
Since then I've been working on a fix for that, which required a huge change in the project and a lot of work. However, this change also brought very good things: a new and more complete support for XBox, PS4 and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers.
This new system recognizes any change of controllers in real time and adjusts the layout of the buttons showing the correct icons on screen, fixing an old problem for players using PS4 controllers in which the layout of the buttons was wrong.
In addition, a new feature came into play: vibration. Now you can can feel the power of the explosions right in the palm of your hands. Note: Vibration on PS4 controllers only works when connected to the PC via USB cable.
Small change in Verta
There was a small change in the game map. Orni Tonto decided to move his future facilities of Orniton Store to Central Verta, as he heard that customers there had greater purchasing power, leaving room for a new barn business in Luma, a fun and challenging mini-game. And speaking of that, the Orniton Store is almost ready to go.
New costume!
As usual, a new costume comes to make Raccoo's even more complete and ready for all occasions.
New songs
The new themes for Astuto Penácio, Pru and also a new soundtrack for the level 1-3 entered the game.
Minor fixes and adjustments
In addition, some adjustments and corrections were also made so that the game runs more smoothly.
That's it guys, I hope you all enjoy it and remember to leave your opinions here or on our Discord server.

Update 1.1.351
Hello folks!
I bring you this great Raccoo Venture update! Let's check out the news and changes that this new update brings to you:
News:
•New level
Now we will be able to unveil the secrets of Four Falls Temple, which has the most challenging puzzles in the game so far.
•New boss fight
Fatuus Fire is prepared and will do anything to prevent Raccoo from recovering the chess set.
•New costume
A brand new costume to increase the wardrobe!
•Soundtrack
In this new version we can check out some songs that are already part of the new original soudtrack. They are in: main menu, level selection world, Raccoo's house and also in the intro cutscene. The other songs will gradually be implemented in the game in next updates.
Modifications
•Momentum/inertia
A large part of the community complained about the lack of inertia in Raccoo's movement, which was one of the major changes in this new version, bringing inertia to the movement, giving greater immersion and perception of Raccoo's weight while moving.
•Saving Checkpoints
Imagine this situation: You activated a checkpoint and then killed all enemies and solved a puzzle, but now you can't save it again! With this update, another big change that has happened is that you can save a checkpoint again whenever you want, standing over it and pressing Y on the controller or E on the keyboard.
•Levels' names
Now the levels have an index in their names (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc.), to facilitate the location and communication between all players in the community.
•Throw/drop
There was also an improvement in the throwing/droping system, preventing you from ending up throwing an object when in fact you just wanted to put it on the ground, simply because Raccoo was not 100% stopped.
There are also other fixes and minor general improvements.
That's it! I hope you all enjoy it. Leave in the comments what you thought about these news and what you would like to see in the next updates.
See you soon, have a good play!

Original SoundTrack
Hello folks!
It's been a while since the last update, but it's been for a good reason. Now I come to bring you good news!
In the last few months I have been working with a composer who joined the project to create an Original Soundtrack for Raccoo Venture. His name is Lukan Peixe and he has done an amazing job on the game's tracks.
Listen to the main theme in the link below and tell me here in the comments how did you feel while listening to this song?
The new OST will be introduced gradually into the game during the next updates.
And speaking about updates, in a few days I will bring a new one including this new main theme, a new song for the first level and a brand new level with Boss Fight!
Thanks to everyone who has supported the game, buying, adding to the wishlist, sharing with friends and bringing feedbacks.
The game is getting better and better thanks to all of you. Stay tuned and have a good play!

Update 1.1.344
Hi everybody, I bring you Raccoo Venture updates. There are many cool features that came into the game to make it even more fun. So let's check it out:
•Save Slots
Many players asked me for a way to have differents save files in Raccoo Venture, as they would like to try new games without losing what has already been achieved or even for their companions and children could have their own progress saved independently. Raccoo Venture will have 3 different game slots to choose, called "game cartridges".
•Attention: Your previous game will be saved as "Cartridge A".
•Steam Cloud
Along with the ability to save different games, you can now also count on Steam Cloud so you can always keep playing from where you stopped, regardless of which computer you're playing on.
•Exclusive Early Access Costume
As a way of thanking the players who has trusted and supported Raccoo Venture, all those who acquire the game in Early Access period will have an exclusive costume as a souvenir of our EA journey.
•"Tupple K.O." system and "Hit Combo"
Nothing is more fun than being rewarded for defeating the countless Tattooed Tatus that we find along the way, right? From now on you will earn bonuses by defeating more than 1 armadillo at the same time or by defeating some armadillos in a row. So use your creativity and have fun with this new feature.
•Sacis and Breathing Orbs Counters
Now you can check out how many Sacis you've found looking at the new Sacis Chest at Raccoo's house and also you can check your Orbs by taking a look at the Fridge Magnets.
•New level, new enemy and new costume
Giving continuity to the adventures of Verta's hero, a new level is available: Serene Lake, which brings new challenges and a new enemy for you to defeat. Of course, a new outfit can be found to make Raccoo more and more elegant. As usual, this new costume is very well hidden so you can have fun looking for it.
•Fixes and improvements
In addition to all the new features, minor reported bugs was fixed and also control response via keyboard was improved.
That's it folks. I hope you enjoy the news. Soon I will bring more updates and improvements to make Raccoo Venture an increasingly fun game.
Keep sending your feedbacks and suggestions because they are very important. Thank you very much for your trust and support.

Update 1.1.339
Hello guys!
In this update I bring some new features, small details that will make the experience of playing Raccoo Venture even better.
Volume adjustment and in-game options
Many players asked for a volume control and also a way to change the game settings during the gameplay. Now it's possible by accessing the options menu in the pause screen, where you can adjust the graphics, sounds and language settings.
New language: German
Wie kann ich Ihnen helfen? Yeah! Now Raccoo can be played in German, a big thanks to Flo Baramundi who provided the German localization!
Total played time and "death counter!?"
Now it's much easier for you to track how long you've been looking for the sacred relics. The pause menu has a total played time counter. Unfortunately this counter is not retroactive and only starts counting from now on.
But what is that? A death counter? Dying in the game is something that happens quite often and it is very common for players to be curious about how many times they had to repeat their adventures until it worked. I hope you enjoy this idea!
Fixes
In this version, several bugs that were reported by the community during this first month of early access were fixed. Here is a list of some fixed errors:
Mushrooms don't respawn after the checkpoint.
Button at the end of level 8 repeats Pru's animation.
Raccoo gets "stuck" in some places in the switches room in level 7.
The Shaman's Temple doesn't open again after the checkpoint.
And many other minor fixes made.
What did you think about these news? Have you seen any of these bugs? Leave your comment telling your opinion!
Thank you very much and see you next time!
