🛠 CHANGES AND FIXES SUMMARY 🛠
Updated Content / Quality of Life changes
CHANGES TO TUTORIAL AND EPISODE 1
The tutorial levels are now:
- JUST A NORMAL CAR?
- CAR WITH LEGS
- CAR WITH TOO MANY LEGS
- CAR WITH JUMPS
- CAR WITH VERY LARGE LEGS
- BEAR WITH ME
Each of these have gotten a new make-over visually and we tweaked the controllers.
- There’s a new transition scene between tutorial and the first episode ⭐
- Certain levels have been removed from Episode 1 and integrated into the Tutorial instead
- New decorative scenarios and dialogue added to the surroundings in Episode 1
- Changes to the navigation of Episode 1
- New UI for dialogues alert (see bottom gif for example)
Part of this is also the transition between the episodes! Now, instead of getting a bear on top of CAR and this bear unlocking the computer to the next episode, it does so right away, with the new Episode Elevator!
THE ELEVATOR
- New ‘Episode Elevator’ - a much quicker way of navigating between episodes. Enter the Elevator and scroll to select the Episodes as they unlock!
- New Hypezones for each Episode, now in the main room
- It also gives an overview of which levels you have completed and what kind of crown you got in the Episodes 👑
Edit: Yes, this means some of the secrets of the dungeon travel has been moved... Time to find the new spots 👀
