v0.0.1.3 - Early Release
Welcome to everyone who has found the game through the Summer Steam sale!
I am back with another small bug fix update, fixing more bugs that was brought to my attention! Thank you for providing feedback, reviews and letting me know of bugs that have been found so that I can squash them.
Gameplay:

Fixed a death event anomaly in the bungalow not resetting properly, causing a fail condition if it was fixed too soon. This was due to the death timer being cancelled before it was created, leading to the creation and therefore timeout of such counter occurring.
Made improvements to the lighting in the Large House on lower graphics settings (More work to be done in future updates...)
Menus:

Fixed the proportions of the Map selection menu.
Fixed Main Menu getting locked up after entering a sub menu.
Fixed Game and UI input after leaving the Options menu.
Bumped Graphics settings variables to ensure even on low settings the game doesn't look too terrible. Please ensure to set new graphics settings.
Disabled Space Bar input after skipping intro in Main Menu
Disable Camera control in Main Menu
Thanks once again for submitting bug reports, please continue to submit them either here on Steam or on the Discord Guild!

Thank you to those who have left reviews so far as well as those who have reported bugs they have encountered. Below is a small list of the first fixes in which I have implemented, including some to the graphics settings and anomalies in The Bungalow.
Bungalow Fixes:

Fixed Knife Anomaly in The Bungalow - It now goes back to the correct location.
Fixed the Plate Anomaly in The Bungalow - It's rotation is now correct when fixed.
Changed the Continue button at the bottom of the Bungalow map letter to a CROSS (X) on the top right of the letter. This is to fix a bug with UI.
Added new sounds to the Bungalow.
Fixed the Wires anomaly.
Large House Changes:

Added new sounds to the Large House.
Options Menu fixes:

Screen Mode now sets and shows the correct setting.
Resolution Mode now sets and shows the correct setting.
Resolution Scale now sets and shows the correct setting.
Other Changes:

Fixed the ICO file for steam, it was still using a very old version.

Dev Update: Pre-release 3 - What is next?

This past week I have been working hard on getting the second location (Shown in Dev Preview #1) ready for Beta testing. While I have tested each anomaly one by one as I have implemented them, it's important to check that they still work as intended as implementation of other features has carried on. I have just uploaded the first build with the second location available onto steam for Beta testers to try out.
So what is next?!
I have a few things I want to do before I consider the game ready for early access.

First of all, I wanted two maps to be ready for release. We are getting closer to this goal with the implementation of the second location on the latest steam build. Once this has been tested and issues fixed, this will be complete.
Second of all, Lighting improvements. In some of the screenshots shared I am not comfortable with the quality of lighting. While this could be worked on, and probably will be worked on after release, I would like to make some improvements first.
Thirdly, More anomalies! In the first location we currently have 62 anomalies implemented. In the Second location there are currently 46 anomalies implemented with the goal of making 72 unique anomalies.
Forth on the list, I want to thoroughly test the Menus. I feel like there is plenty of room for improvement with functionality and styles of the menus.
Last on the list is the story. We are slowly laying out the story for Presence Lookout. This will change throughout the Early Access period, however I would like to implement the foundations of this. I have already implemented the basics of Letters & Notes within the game which will allow the player to collect Letters and Notes hidden throughout the locations, this will allow the player to understand the story more. The above image represents the first build of the Letters and Notes page found in the Main Menu.
I am looking forward to the future of this game, I hope you are too!
Don't forget to Whitelist the game, you can also join the Discord Guild to get regular access to information and screenshots that aren't posted in these news articles!
