V. 2.4.0 - The “Steam Next Fest” Update!

OH SNAP! ANOTHER ONE!

Hey there! Despite prepping and running the Steam Next Fest showcase, we’ve still kept busy bug fixing and making adjustments to Just Keep Running, and that’s what this update is all about! :D DOWNLOAD NOW! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2684400/Just_Keep_Running/

Key Changes

PRO TIPS

Pro Tips feature in Loading Screen We’ve pretty much reworked how Pro Tips are managed, allowing us to easily add, modify and remove tips, and use them across multiple scenes thanks to Scriptable Objects.

Thanks to this rework, yoo now also have Pro Tips in the loading menu! So if you’re waiting for something to load for a while, you can also get some tips while you’re at it.

1-1 CHANGES

Stage 1 Showcase Speedrunners, take note! We’ve had to swap the location of the Cube Button in Stage 1 of 1-1 to prevent players from potentially softlocking themselves pretty easily. This might make some strats a little more harder to pull off in this stage, just FYI! 👍

BUG FIXES & ADJUSTMENTS

Most of this update consists of small bug fixes, adjustments, and preparations to make the game experience better. Like fixing the coffee table model so that… well, THIS doesn’t happen. We do a lil noclipping (SO to Lungsc for capturing this footage!)

Full Changelog

ADDED

• AddedPro TipsAdded Pro Tips to the Loading Menu.

CHANGED

• Pro Típs

  • Reworked Pro Tips system to add, remove, and manage tips more easily, and show tips across different menus.

  • Modified tips to reflect the current version of the game better.

• 1-1, Stage 1: Shifted Cube Button away from the door to prevent softlocking.

• Notes and Readables: You can now press Escape (or a similar key) to stop reading a note.

• AdjustedEnd ScreenChanged controller binding for “Continue” to avoid issues when trying to use the Upgrade menu

• Cleaned up code behind the scenes.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Playing the game with a Switch Pro controller may lead to issues controlling the player's character. This is seemingly an issue with the Unity Input System, and sadly out of our control.

• Playing the game with a Dualshock 4 controller, or playing on a Steam Deck while having a keyboard connected, may lead to issues involving controlling the game with the Keyboard itself. This is also potentially an issue with the Unity Input System, which is beyond our control.
