Demo Updated!

Since the Kickstarter has been live, we have had a bunch of feedback about our Demo. There is a ton of praise, but we left some pretty critical bugs in there as well. Usually the Demo just gets left for what it is and there is no attempt at fixing until it is being shipped for the full release. We have patched our demo because we want to prove how dedicated we are to making sure everyone has a chance at experiencing our offering.

PATCH NOTES 5/27/22 (Please Download the new Demo version)

FPS and Platforms - Users with computers far more powerful then our own were experiencing difficulty in passing through platforms with tap duck. Well, we found you would have to tap at a speed that isn't humanly possible, so we implemented an equation that subverts this problem.

Slide and Platforms - After watching a few play throughs we noticed many different players falling to their peril consistently in certain locations. We found that in certain states of the slide the hitbox would grow down when going to stand and that would cause you to be under a platform resulting in a fall through. We are sorry for the controllers lost. This has been fixed.

Respawn Pods - One of our core mechanics is placing your own checkpoints in the form of respawn pods. We have more robust plans to introduce this mechanic in place for the full game, but the demo got a slate card and a little dialogue from Artephys explaining how the pods work.

We thought it was cool having Prin place the first one dynamically in a cutscene, but without context it only served to strip the player of a potential teaching moment. Several players never attempted to set another, resulting in a far more arduous and challenging experience than intended! When you land on the planet, we are forcing the player to place their first one before they can continue. We hope this conveys the intention better, as far as the Demo is concerned.

QOL Changes as well

From the bottom of our (star) hearts,

Thank you for playing our demo.
