I decided to give the idea behind this game another try, but this time I will improve on everything that could have been done better in this game.
I removed/replaced stuff that was "clunky", and reworked everything. (Really, everything, including the Gameplay itself)
The visuals will be similar, but more colorful.
Here are three WORK IN PROGRESS Screenshots:
The game now uses cubes instead of these "things" that redirect the lasers. You can pick them up, and kick/throw them around. (Just like you would expect. And there will be more cubes than just the three you can see here.)
Visuals are similar, but many things got reworked.
And a new menu, still work in progress. (as everything shown here)
I am currently ~50% done with the content of the game, but it will take some time until it is done, I just wanted to make it official. (since some people already know about it)
This does not mean that there will be no more support for ReThink... I am here every day, looking for Stuff that needs to be fixed.
But for now, the game works, so I will continue to "fix" what could have been done better.
That's all for now. (Questions/Ideas etc. can be posted in the comments and/or discussions, I will try to answer everything)
EDIT: To make it clear: This is NOT part of "ReThink", this will be a seperate game, since they are not compatible on a technical level with each other. (I first wanted to add this to ReThink, but this would result in one buggy mess, due to missing plugins and completely different game-logic.)
ReThink would only suffer if i tried to add this to it, and i do not want that - better have a game with some flaws, but overall happy players instead of a mess that makes no sense at all.
Update 4 [Fixes Savegames and other Stuff]
Before this update, you could (under certain conditions, in certain situations) loose unused Items that were left on the ground when you saved and loaded again.
This is fixed now, but the Fix can not bring back items that are already "lost".
Since this was a very rare bug, there should be no further problems for anyone else. (especially not for new players)
IF for whatever reason there is a problem with your savegames, I can provide you with a fixed one, just write me a message in the Discussions. (SHOULD not happen.... but just in case)
What happened?
The Engine "lost" a part of the Code that was used to save the stuff you left behind. (The Items did not get written into the Savegame, and could not be loaded again because of that.)
I have no Idea why the Code was lost, since I had it working before release. (not kidding, really...)
Sorry for any problems that may have caused. (Actually there was only one report for this bug, so it is a very rare bug.)
========================
I also cleaned up the Discussions, and moved everything that is Fixed to "FIXED".
A redirection-Topic will stay for 7 Days, after that the Topics can only be found in the "FIXED" Forums.
Thank you!
Update 3 [More Keybindings, and one Fix]
Content:
- Keybindings for all keys. (before this update only movement could be changed)
- Option to invert Mouse Y (As requested)
***Everyone that used the previous Hotfix on an AZERTY-Keyboard now needs to rebind their Number keys to be able to use them as before.
Fix:
- Missing collision in Room 21
The Update has been tested multiple times and should work without problems.
If you encounter any problems, please post them in the Discussions.
That's all folks.
PS: Sorry for the delay, technical difficulties
Update 2 [Small fixes, Touchpad-Hotfix]
Just two dirty Hotfixes.
1: Object Rotation with Q/E (for Touchpad-Users who do not have a Mousewheel)
2: Number-Support for AZERTY (could not test it, SHOULD work)
Both of these will replaced tomorrow with actual key-rebinding.
Thats all for now, more tomorrow.
Update 1 [Adds Keybindings, Fixes Stuff]
"Small" Update that somehow is 245mb in its size.
Additions:
- Keybindings for all Movement-Keys (Can be found below the Graphics-settings)
Fixes:
- Menu could not be closed with Escape.
- Small lighting-bugs
- Missing Text for the Colorblind-setting
This Update went through many tests before it got released, so there should be no bugs.
If you still find a bug, please report it, i will fix it as soon as i can.
*IF* for whatever Reason, your Settings should get "bricked", you can delete your settings.sav that is located here:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\ReThink\Saved\SaveGames
This should not happen, i tested it dozens of times... but, just in case. (Do not delete anything else that is in that folder, unless you want to delete your savegames!)
Thank you.
Initial Release, 10% off.
A long journey finally ended a few moments ago.
I hope you like it.
Have fun!
If there are issues, please post them in the discussions.
