Hi!
Patch notes for our Steam Next Fest major demo update:
New features
- Localization: English and Finnish (language can be changed in the Cottage)
- Added a brand new level progress lock: In order to unlock the last demo level, you need to find a required amount of hidded eggs in previous levels.
- Added some in-game tutorial icons for basic controls. Detailed controls for VR can also be found in the VR menu.
- Lots of named NPCs with dialogue and wild Seekers scattered around the levels.
- NPC Interact system: When Kippo gets close to a NPC, an exclamation mark will indicate that they have some dialogue. Once the Interact symbol turns green and the player presses Interact, the dialogue will start.
- Updated dialogue system for co-op: Both players have control over dialogue speech bubbles shown to them, and can be progressed/skipped with the interact button. (Grip for VR, Space for keyboard, A/X or equivalent for controllers). The events after a dialogue will proceed when both players have progressed their dialogue to the end.
- Emotes for co-op: Kippo will howl and Spirit will roar with the Interact button.
- Added an audio fader in between levels.
- Added a Play button in the Cottage. A level can be started from that button or the Level Book.
- Added a Seeker Star object in the end of each level to better indicate the goal for Kippo.
Fixes and tweaks
- Updated default controls for VR. Detailed explanation can be found in the VR menu.
- Fixed audio not pausing when opening Steam VR menu.
- Many bug fixes & lots of visual additions in various levels.
We hope you enjoy Steam Next Fest and Seeker: My Shadow demo content. Have fun and keep the feedback coming!
