Preparing for the upcoming Steam Puzzle Fest I noticed a surprising amount of issues related to the input system, weither it is mouse and keyboard or controllers, so I decided to refactor it entirely. It is now more stable than ever and easier to manage any bugs related to it. Every stutter weither it is player movement related or slab interaction have been fixed. Visuals related to inputs have also been reworked, with new animations and designs.
Menus always have been looking a bit off compared to gameplay visuals, so I added proper buttons sprites. It is more readable, but the pause menu might need some more work on that regard.

Rebranding

In this update, we are changing the name from AHEAD to Libe! Since the game came out, we faced multiple difficulties to find content of our game on social platforms, even though there are. The thing is we thought our game should have a name that tells a lot about the gameplay but failed at picking the right name. Indeed, AHEAD was telling the story right away : you can only go straight ahead once you start moving, you have to plan ahead your moves to complete each level... but "ahead" is way too common of a word and we obviously made a huge mistake. So we finally decided to go with Libe, which tells quite a bit less about the gameplay, but as a contraction of light and cube, which are what sentinels that you play as in the game are, it is more unique, and still suits the game as the story relies heavily on the character having lost its light and its journey to recover it. That is exactly what we tried to convey in the opening shot of our trailer and now the name goes along with it. We hope this will make a difference and that we will finally be able to find our players' content on social medias more easily from now on. If you've made any content on the game feel free to share it with us by including it directly in your Steam review or on Twitter by tagging us @StarvingFoxStd, we'd be happy to bring it the attention it deserves.

Icing on the cake

Alongside the rebranding, we wanted this update to bring a new breath into the game so we spent some time looking for stuff to improve, and the list grew pretty fast to be honest. From confusing icons, to clunky animations, or even things that were straight up not working when we thought they were (oops), the time that passed since the initial release allowed us to see the game differently and find what needed to be improved. The game is overall more refine, smoother, and better-looking. The trailer also got an update. We still have some work to do on the game and we'll be shooting small updates here and there to improve your experience even further, make sure to include what you would like to see added or improved in your review so we know what to prioritize.

Linux Support

Libe has been supporting Linux for sometime now, but the Linux version never made it to Steam before. It is now available and has been ported using Ubuntu.
