Hey hey! It's been a while, right? Already 6 hours since the demo launch, and we have an update for you!
Hotfix 0.3.2 should already be available on Steam 🎉 If you haven't updated yet, you definitely should! And while we call it a "fix", it's actually the whole heart of the game that was replaced just last night by this unnamed here - our dev (say hi to @someusername_03 on Discord if you spot him).
In short: you can now type in any language with any keyboard layout. So all those "where is the damn ';' on my keyboard?" moments should finally be gone.
The longer story: when we first started implementing input for The Final Sentence, we planned to support only a few languages and keyboard layouts. So we carefully mapped input based on the physical keys you pressed on your keyboard and this movement was also translated to the typewriter on the table. This is why, for example, the numpad didn't work. It was by design because:
- There is no numpad on the typewriter.
- We read the "key" pressed, not the symbol returned by the OS.
Thanks to your quick feedback and the incredible work of our dev, you no longer have to deal with this mess. Now you can type just like you're used to!
Cheers 🙌
