fixedCitizen! We just pushed another update live. This one contains all kinds of spicy greatness. The most significant change is that the player character now pathfinds competently. That was never really an issue before, since he only had to traverse simple geometries. But once we started testing Chapter 5 in earnest, it was obvious the old pathfinding wasn't going to cut the mustard any more. Another change you'll be happy to hear about is that most of the freeze issues should now be fixed. Particularly those that occurred on a black screen, between room loads. The rest of the changes are minor, but delicious. You can read all about them in the list below: • Engine: Rewrote pathfinding code • Engine: Fixed freeze on black screen • Engine: Made sure the Game Menu icon appears properly • Game: Made sure credits music only plays once • Game: Refactored soundscape code • Game: Improved performance while on game menus • Chapter 1: Tweaked soundscape • Chapter 1: Added fishing sounds • Chapter 1: Tweaked Alicia's interaction hotspot • Chapter 2: Fixed temporary freeze bug when putting the helmets on Alicia • Chapter 3: Fixed depth sorting issue in cabin 1 • Chapter 3: Fixed door issues on the bridge • Chapter 4: Fixed freeze bug when you put helmet on mover • Chapter 4: Removed screen shake while manipulating photos • Chapter 2 & 4: Added information to the dream map • Chapter 1, 2, 3 & 4: Redesigned intro sequences • Chapter 1, 2, 3 & 4: Redesigned credits list Don't be shy if you find something wonky about the game. Regarding Chapter 5: We're still testing it and it's going very well. Release date announcement will follow shortly... Stay tuned. - a
