Hi friends,
Thanks to everyone who has downloaded and played the demo so far.
I did smaller updates over the past few days, to react to some things that came to attention, but in regards to some larger issues that have become apparent over the days (especially this morning), I opted to actually do a proper news post about what I've just changed:
- Keyboard controls should now actually work. If you've already downloaded and launched the demo, you need to either go into the games save file (under "users/appdata/local/gbvirthavafteregx") and delete the "save.ini" file, or go into the options menu and hit the "restore default" option in the control menu.
- There was a crash that happened when you tried to grab onto a wall during a door transition. That was supposed to be fixed already, but apparently wasn't.
- It should be fixed now, if you still encounter it, let me know!
- I added an NPC in the tutorial stage that gives you an option to skip the rest of it.
I'm incredibly sorry for anyone who had to deal with the broken keyboard controls over most of this week. I made a bunch of mistakes while setting up the controls themselves and the system that handles the key-rebinding, which not only made the key-rebinding not work in places, it also obscured the problem on my end, so it only became apparent once other people tried to play the game.
I made the decision to let you skip the tutorial, because I keep seeing people getting stuck in it for very stupid reasons and I'd rather folks get a chance to look at what comes after it, even though they might not be fully prepared, than having them get stuck in a situation that just isn't very interesting.
As always, if something's not working/looks weird to you, please let me know!
