Amygdala v2.8 - Gameplay Overhaul, Improvement & New Content

Hi everyone!

This is the fourth day of the game's release, I'm happy to see that all the previous fixes made resolve most of the issues, both bug related and game optimization related.

So in these two days I dedicated myself to improving the overall gaming experience. I've seen several streamers playing Amygdala, collected feedback and listened to all the doubts related to some mechanics, so...Today Amygdala is updated to version 2.8!

An important note below: If you started the game on previous versions, you may encounter bugs due to the conflict between an old and new version of the game, this is because big changes have been made between one version and another, I therefore invite everyone to play a new game in order to avoid bugs. I know this may be frustrating for some, but it improves the overall experience.

Amygdala v2.8

Gameplay:

• AdjustedGeneralAll general collisions have been improved, it is now easier to pick up keys and interact with gates.

• General: All initial tutorials have now been moved to the HUB, plus some last longer before disappearing to allow for better reading

• AdjustedNightmare of Insatiable KnowledgeThe way up has been further improved, collisions now let the player go up without too many problems and there is now an arrow to indicate the beginning of the path.

• Nightmare of Insatiable Knowledge: The books to take now have a bright outline, which makes them more visible and clear in interaction.

Thank you all for your feedback and patience. I definitely plan to add more (free) content to the title in the future. I currently have no further patches in the works, for now I will collect more feedback for future updates.

PS. I am also collecting feedback to adjust the minimum and recommended requirements on the Steam page.

Thank you all!
