Thank you to everyone who gave feedback, commented in the forums, wrote reviews or even created video reviews of Jasper!! <3
Here is a first batch of improvements based on the input:
Chapter Selection
- You can now replay any levels and chapters you have previously finished.
- All soul dust you earn while replaying the levels will be added on top of your already collected soul dust.
- Feel free to start hoarding soul dust for the next levels this way. If it's too broken I might change this in the future though.
Book
- Narration on first page can now be skipped
- Skipping through book pages now skips through individual lines instead of the whole page. Continuing to skip during page turns still skips whole pages.
Level Tweaks
- Tweaked interaction cameras in attic
- Made attic a little brighter
- Increased duration of boy sequence right after the poem by the well, so it's less easy to miss
Tutorials
- Added controls tooltips as a basic tutorial and reminder during gameplay. Will add a setting to deactivate any tutorial overlays in the future.
- The button prompt during sequences now fades out after a while for more immersion.
General
- Post process bloom is now set correctly from the beginning
- Jasper is not freezing anymore while charging a lantern
- Tweaked audio levels: Music and sfx were too loud
- Fixed minor bug when entering pause menu while a sequence is playing in the background
- Fixed level change breaking when soft-restarting the game via the pause menu
Credits
- Increased visibility and added the link to the credits to various sub-menus. Credits will be integrated directly into the game in the future.
