Demo and Development Update

This week we've added some great quality of life improvements to the game, and we've released a new demo update so you can try them out!

Changes and Improvements

• Added the offset feature to more components to provide flexibility with component placement and input order.

  • Alternator - Changing the offset will change the initial output used. Changing it while the board is running will immediately change the next output.

  • Four Way Alternator - Similar to the Alternator, the initial/next output will be changed.

  • Router - Offsets the count that determines when a packet is routed. E.g. if a router is configured to route every 4 packets, and the offset is set to 2, then the router will initially route after 2 packets then every 4 packets thereafter. This offset also applies both to the initial count and the current count while the board is running.

  • Timed Splitter - Offsets the timing in 1/4 note increments. E.g. an offset of 1 will split and switch outputs 1/4 note into a measure instead of at the start of the measure.

• Tutorials have been updated to include the offset feature and be overall easier to follow.

• Updated controller binding defaults for Steam Input. Controls are more consistent between game and menu, and controllers now use Steam mouse emulation by default.

• Updated default UI scaling and improved text formatting for dialogs and descriptions to make them easier to read.

• Added instrument volume to settings and tweaked all audio levels.

• Linux/Steam Deck now uses hardware cursor by default.

• Settings layout updated to fit lower resolutions screens.
