Patch Note 1.2 - Hellish Hypothermia

Hi there, everyone!

It’s now been more than 2 weeks since launch, and the bug-crusher just keeps going!

Thank you so much to everyone that has purchased and played the game, it’s been a blast watching you enjoy the game!

Remember our special -25% discount ends May 29th, so if you know anyone interested in Aureole, now is the best time to get a copy!

Please leave a review on Steam. It helps as boost through Steam’s algorithm in these first weeks of launch ✨

This version brings some minor additions but a lot of bug fixes, as well as upcoming news on future language support (coming in a few days if everything goes well)!

Without further ado, let’s go with it.

News:

● The speedrun.com site for Aureole is now up and running, with some players already submitting single level times and others already working on full runs!

Additions:

● Discord button that redirects to our server added to the title screen

● You can now find a portal at the far left of the Hell Kingdom that lets you watch the credits roll whenever you want

● Already found collectibles now appear translucent / greyish

Changes:

● All of Hell Kingdom’s and some of Heaven Kingdom’s levels have received several tweaks to make some sections less frustrating and less “trial and error”.

● Several levels’ medal times have been adjusted to be more permissive in the earlier biomes and more challenging on the later ones.

● Collectibles are now saved as found the moment you get them, instead of having to complete the level for it

Fixes:

● Performance on the final boss stages has improved (presumably).

● The credits roll now properly pop up every time (presumably).

● You can now obtain 100% completion rate on your save file.

● All achievements are obtainable now.

● Hypothermia Summit can now be completed.

● We’ve made some tweaks to the player’s and spikes’ collision to solve several related bugs.

● All dialogs now properly display the speaker’s name and color palette

● Ghost racers now record your best time, instead of the last run, as intended

● The “mini-aureole” bug has been solved

● Heaven Kingdom’s puzzle can now be solved

● Quick restarting a level now displays its transition over the game’s UI

● Chromatic aberration always disappears properly now

● An error causing the player to do a “ground stomp” even when not pressing said action’s button has been solved

● Some typos have been fixed

● Booting up crash is now solved

● Collisions on the final boss stage have been fixed

Future updates:

● We’ll soon implement Korean and Simplified Chinese support to the game! Stay tuned for that one!

● Steam Cloud still doesn’t work. We don’t really know exactly why, but we’ll try contacting Steam support if we can’t figure out the cause.

● Level selection, exporting ghost racers and in-level ranking view are still things on our minds, although they’re not top priority and we’re currently working on our next project, so we don’t know when they’ll be added (if ever).

Hope this’ll solve every major bug so far haha
