Thank you to everyone who stepped into the dream during Steam Next Fest.
We read every review, every post, and every piece of feedback, and it helped us identify the specific issues that needed attention. Once again, thank you to everyone who showed interest in Vapor World.
We knew it wasn't perfect, but we chose to release the demo in time for Steam Next Fest. Even if it wasn't fully ready, we wanted to show you what Vapor World is becoming. The long road to completion is just beginning.
Here is our first patch notes update.
⚙️ Controls & Movement Overhaul
The way Paslow moves is being rebuilt from the ground up. Character weight, movement speed, and all action transitions are being reworked. This has actually been in the works for a long time, but it was too large to ship in time for Next Fest. The first update of this major overhaul is now complete, and you'll feel the difference the moment you pick up the controller.
⏩ Cutscene Skip
All major cinematics and boss intros are now skippable. Fall in battle? Get right back to it.
⚔️ Combat Rebalance
Certain boss attacks that couldn't be blocked or dodged have been reworked into proper parryable patterns. Enemy behavior has been retuned for better rhythm and fairness.
👁️ Stealth
Enemies no longer detect you through cover when they shouldn't. Hiding now works the way it was meant to.
🕹️ Tutorials
Core mechanics like rolling and sprinting now have in-game tutorials. No more missing the tools you need to survive.
🌐 Localization
Translations have been improved. Missing text that caused invisible menus and buttons is now fixed. More languages are on the way.
🔧 Bug Fixes
- Fixed save/load issues that blocked progression
- Fixed combat music looping endlessly across areas
- Fixed cutscene timing and control lock issues
- Improved in-game character rendering
- Fixed numerous visual and sound bugs
- Many other fixes across the board
🌑 What's Next
Paslow is getting a full visual and animation overhaul. New concept, new animations, new presence. A completely updated version of the protagonist will be revealed soon.
The journey through the dream is far from over.
Stay with us and keep exploring.
Thank you.
