Steam Deck Gameplay :
Note from dev :
I additionally bound the ability function to 3 on keyboard as well, because this control is broken on Steam Deck somehow. I will bind 3 to a button in the default Steam Input once I record some more Steam Deck gameplay for VU. I'll add that to this update post once I upload that video to YouTube. Apologies on the delay for this update. I'm removing the next update by counter to be kinder on myself. I do still plan on continuing fixes for some UI navigation and other various bugs to improve the experience of the game on Steam Deck. I'm still continuing the story of VU! Most of my attention will be towards making new issues of VU's sequel Spryward which is currently in early access. : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1862420/Spryward/

Note from dev :
Welcome all new players to VU! If you encounter any issues feel free to use the dedicated community threads to reach me. A bit of you have already been doing that and I appreciate it! It has helped out a lot. Sorry for the delay on releasing this first community update. I got very sick last week due to new allergies. Had to take a covid test just to be sure, thankfully came back negative. I'm switching gears to prep Spryward for issue 1 dropping this month. I will be releasing Spryward 1 issue at a time starting this month of May! Spryward will kick off 2 years after the finale of VU. If you enjoyed the work I've done here with VU consider continuing the story by wishlisting Spryward.

Note from dev :
As I stated in the last update, you will still see a next update date listed in the main menu. I'm still dedicated to doing level reworks, adding potions, fixing bugs, and overall improving the game. The end of Vacancy plays a huge role in Spryward and the entire future of the Apastron universe. Spryward will kick off 2 years after the finale of VU. If you enjoyed the work I've done here with VU consider continuing the story by wishlisting Spryward.
Thank you everyone who helped support this game in early access! I wanted to leave a section here as a special thank you to all the other people who helped make this game possible!

Note from dev :
Final boss fight drops this Wednesday the 30th. After that I will post the launch trailer and exit the game from early access on Steam. On Wednesday all content in the game will be playable. Every level is completable as of right now. You will still see a next update date listed in the main menu even after I leave early access. I'm still dedicated to doing map reworks, adding potions, fixing bugs, and overall improving the game. Because of all the subsequent delays I will not be increasing the price of VU after leaving early access. The end of Vacancy plays a huge role in Spryward and the entire future of the Apastron universe. Spryward will kick off 2 years after the finale of VU. If you enjoyed the work I've done here with VU consider continuing the story by wishlisting Spryward.

Note from Dev :
I was expecting to be done with VU by next weekend. I had a family member pass away this week and have to delay when VU leaves early access. I apologize for not having a continuation of the finale ready for this week. The delay will give me more time to work on the end of the game and continue to polish. My estimate is that VU will release on the weekend of the 25th now. Thank you everyone for your understanding. I hope you all have a good weekend.
