The Alien Paradise release’s second anniversary is coming, and the developer (me) was lucky enough to finish the quality of life updates on time to coincide with the date.
The updates include:
Latency System
Now, the input delay compensation is slip between audio and video, making the audiovisual adjustments more accurate and simpler to configure. The latency assistant was also updated.
Gamepad Options
With the addition of support to DualSense controllers, compatible gamepads will emit light patterns related to the level being played and rumble in sync with the game. The light patterns can be changed in the settings screen, as well the rumble can be turned on or off. The patterns introduction at the start of the levels displays the corresponding icons to the controller being used, being able to override the iconography also in the settings menu.
Random Mode: Sequence Levels
Last year, random mode was included to the Quickplay menu, where animations could happen at any moment of the level. While restrict to regular and multiple commands levels before, now the sequence levels can be played in random mode.
Affected levels: Frevo, Handicraft, Hopscotch, Trio Elétrico, Kitchen and Berimbau
