Patch Notes - Update 1 - Autopsy Only Mode PTE
Additions
Addition of the Loppers Minigame for removing the rib cage.
Addition of placeholder textures for specific conditions and wound graphics which now replace missing art assets in Autopsy Only Mode, to remove some ‘X mark’ placeholders for assets.
Examinations now have full descriptions, instead of single words for their examination descriptions.
Addition of randomized facial hair style and head design for the cadaver.
Additional sequence added to Autopsy Only Mode at the end of the Autopsy, where the player puts the body inside the fridge to close out the examination.
Walkman is now added as an intractable object.
Players can now interact with the in-game radio, which plays the main theme of Autopsy Simulator.
Fixes
Fixed a bug around missing translations strings found in documents throughout Autopsy Only Mode.
Blood tests are now fully functional in Autopsy Only Mode.
Improvements
Player now has to take photos and use the magnifier tool to inspect the cadaver before opening the body.
Overall improvements to the hint systems in Autopsy Only Mode.
Specific tweaks to the scoring system in Autopsy Only Mode.
Added some music and sound effects to Autopsy Only Mode.
NOTE: Our PTE is currently in English Only. We'll be looking to add more languages soon, but as this is a pre-alpha build the game mode is in English only. AOM will feature more languages in full release!
PTE Known Issues
Although we've fixed a number of bugs found in our previous playtest, the PTE build remains a pre-alpha meaning you'll likely run into issues throughout your playthrough. Our Known Issues list is below:
Softlock Issues:
Issue
Changing the Action button in the Controls menu makes neither LMB nor the new button working in menus for Autopsy Only Mode.
What to do
Avoid changing the action button. Our settings are a work in progress for this build, so this functionality is not yet finalized.
Issue
After finishing a blood test, if you quickly interact with another object or pull away from the blood test the game can softlock.
What to do
When finishing blood test with microscope, avoid quickly pressing the left mouse button. The cursor icon can be visible and still cause a softlock, so wait until your character's point of view has returned before left clicking.
Issue
The pipette screen can occasionally softlock.
What to do
The pipette may stay in the players control after completing the mini game, which blocks moving on. If happens it should be safe to restart the game mode.
Issue
Checking blood under a microscope occasionally softlocks the game.
What to do
If the blood under the microscope freezes, try to exit with right mouse button. If this continues, restart via the pause menu.
Other Issues:
Issue: Putting on gloves and aprons on at the end of an autopsy may cause players to revive points towards their final score. This is a current error and does not impact gameplay.
Issue: Players are unable to highlight wounds on the clipboard in Autopsy Only Mode. The Clipboard is not finalized
