NORMA: Story of One Platform Playtest (v2.0.1)

This update focuses on improving terminal usability, aligning terminal behaviour more closely with familiar Linux command-line conventions, refining save/load menu behaviour, and updating dialogue to better support quest flow.

Terminal Improvements

Case-Insensitive Autocomplete

• Terminal autocomplete now works regardless of letter casing.

• For example, commands such as cd Doc and cd doc can now autocomplete correctly when matching the same folder or file.

• This should make navigation faster, more forgiving and aligned with actual terminal behaviour during terminal interactions.

Refined Backspace Behaviour

• Improved Backspace/Delete handling in the terminal.

• Holding the key now continuously deletes characters, making command editing smoother and more responsive.

Updated File Execution Syntax

• File execution using ./ no longer requires a space after the command prefix.

• This now better matches standard Linux terminal behaviour.

• Example format is now closer to:

./filename instead of: ./ filename

rmt Replaced with ssh

• The previous rmt command has been replaced with ssh.

• This change better aligns terminal interactions with real Linux command-line conventions.

SSH Password Prompt Update

• The password is no longer entered directly as part of the ssh command.

• After using ssh, the terminal now asks for the password in a separate prompt.

• This creates a more natural and familiar SSH-style interaction flow.

Main Menu Improvements

Continue Button Updated

• The Continue button now works with both autosaves and manual saves.

• It automatically loads the most recent available save, regardless of whether it is an autosave or a full manual save.

Autosave Button Replaced

• The previous Autosave button has been replaced with a Load button.

• The Load button now loads only the latest full manual save.

Improved Escape Navigation

• Pressing Esc now triggers the Back button when one is available.

• This improves keyboard navigation consistency across menu screens.

Dialogue Updates

Quest Dialogue Adjustment

• Updated the colleagues eavesdropping dialogue to better align with the related quest changes.

• Improved consistency between the dialogue scene and quest progression.

Summary

Version v2.0.1 improves terminal input handling, makes autocomplete more flexible, brings command behaviour closer to real Linux terminal usage, and refines save/load flow in the main menu. It also includes a dialogue update to better support the current quest structure.
