Demo Update! Bugfixes and Video Codec (hopefully) proton compatible.
First of all, I want to thank everyone that played the demo during Steam Next Fest, it was really awesome to see so many of you enjoying our little game!
Almost 10.000 players downloaded and played the demo, and the response was great! : D
But, with a lot of downloads come a lot of unforeseen bugs! Based on the public and private comments, we realized we had an interaction issue that froze the game in very specific situations, when 2 interaction colliders were too close to each other and the player positioned Daaia right in the middle, and when the player interacted right at the edge of the collider and moved out of it as the interaction started.
Also people trying to play it on Steam Deck couldn't start the first mission, because the .mp4 codec we were using wasn't compatible with Proton.
So we (hopefully) fixed the interaction issue by rearranging the colliders, and also by changing Daaia's behavior during the interaction, now if the player starts interacting with something, Daaia will auto-walk and reposition herself at a safe interaction spot.
We've been testing this for the past 4 days and so far we haven't been able to reproduce that freezing bug anymore! : D
If someone gets a random freeze using this latest build (v0.1.5.2.10_Demo), please report it on Shikon-X Steam Community or in our Discord channel.
As for the video codec, we changed it to .webm using VP8 video codec. According to the Steam Deck documentation it should be 100% compatible with it.
So please, Steam Deck players, let us know if you can now play the entire demo and watch the video that shows up when you start the 1st mission (after solving Sparky's puzzle).
(We're in Chile and Argentina, and our countries can't get Steam Decks yet, so we have no way to test it).
If it works, we're going to reencode all the videos to VP8 so the full game is 100% compatible with Steam Deck : )
Again, thank you all for playing and especially for not getting mad if you found an issue!
Now we're off to finish the whole game : )
Gotta go!

Shikon-X Demo Update
There's several "under the hood" changed that just makes life easier for everyone and you might not notice,
Here are the biggest ones:
-New font
That's big one for us, the old font was tiny and hard to read, now we made a new font from scratch. This font supports all western languages, so if we can translate Shikon-X to German and other languages, we're ready for it (for now it's English and Spanish only though).
-New GUI
We didn't manage to finish the GUI for Steam Next Fest, so the text at the hub was just floating over a black background, it made the game look unfinished (because it was!).
Now we have a text panel with room for the character names and some other details!
-New Portraits
This is the biggest one! We used to have just the pixelart characters (but bigger), and now we have beautiful hand-drawn anime portraits!
We're super happy about this change and we hope you love the "real" look of the characters too : )
NEW - SO COOL!
OLD - SO NOT COOL!
That's all for today, please play the game and let us know what you think!
Cheers!
Reminder! Shikon-X livestream tonight @ 10:30 PM Eastern, 7:30 PM Pacific!
