Pre-Demo Update 3


Hotfix 3

Day two was another success, the continued user feedback has helped dial a lot of things in. Today is going to be a much less formal patch note and more of a check-in on the state of the game.

  •  Today all versions of the game received the Tutorial Update. Adding additional guidance and structure to the first few levels of the game using signs to communicate with the player. The goal here is to help connect the player to the mechanics of the game in a slightly more direct way, the hope here is to remedy some confusion. 
  • Along with the addition of the tutorial signs the early levels of the game have had some mild modifications in a handful of places. You will notice a much more open first level, this is a small preview of what to expect from environmental changes in the near future. 
  • The initial controls display in levels 1-1 has also been reworked. It previously showed the use of the up arrow, when currently there is no keybinding. Another change targeting player confusion. 
  • Audio adjustments in all levels to make the game overall quieter and improve the quality of the audio space. 

I'm sure there are some things I'm missing, but that covers most of the major changes today. Looking ahead into the next couple of days you can expect a few things. 

  • Coins will be coming back, they will feature a new look and some fresh animations 
  • More signage around the later levels of the game will be used to continually nudge the player in the right direction and aim to alleviate some of the confusion in some areas.
  • Some additional changes to the level design of current areas in some areas. 
  • More polish on existing animations and transitions 

With some new things to look forward to in the next few days and some new content to check out available now, that's about all there is for today. I'm going to continue cranking out updates as we get ever closer to the release of the demo. Keep your eyes peeled for a new devlog tomorrow where there will be more new things to discuss.
