A lot of new UX improvements coming in the next update!

Hi! I'm currently developing a new update featuring a lot of improvements to the user experience. The current version (1.0.1) bugs, inconsistencies and other stuff that make the playing experience much worse. I'll try to fix all of those in the upcoming update.

Features:

Warning! These are a subject to change.

1. New content!

Some new content, like the new beginning of the game, has been added! While it doesn't include chapter 2, there are some new secret areas for you to find in this update!

2. 16:9 support

This is definitely the biggest change you'll see. I've ported the game from 4:3 to 16:9 to make it better on modern monitors. The game is only going to support 16:9 from now on. I've asked about this change on Reddit and the majority voted for 16:9.

3. Improved UI

The UI is now consistent everywhere. The menus, title screen, battle system, text box and everything has been updated to follow the new UI guidelines! A lot of animations have been added too.

4. Improved battle system

Some updates have been made to the battle system as well, featuring a combo system, new animations, an improved dodge system. These changes will make the fighting experience much more fun!

5. Other smaller (but not unimportant!) stuff

The graphics got a noticeable upgrade. They are much sharper than before! The soundtrack got a few updates, with one new, one remade and one improved song. On top of that, some optimizations have been made under the hood that will provide a stabler, less buggy experience. There's been stuff done for easier and faster developing too, so I can now make more in the same time as before! That's all for the features! There might be even more stuff on release.

Release date

Probably in a week. Might be in just a few days. It can take two or three weeks if I become lazy.

Q&A

Will the saves be compatible with the new version?

Unfortunately no. The game has got so many changes that some things will be broken beyond playable in the upcoming update. You can keep playing with your old saves on the old version, or you can start from the beginning.

I don't like the new stuff. Can I revert to the old version?

Sure! You can download the old version either by entering the beta 1.0.1 from Steam or downloading the old version from Itch or Gamejolt to keep using this version.

Will chapter 2 be released with this?

Nope. Chapter 2 will be released with rest of the chapters in the future. The release date is still TBD and will take a few years at least.

Will Ralph be featured in this update?

a That's all for now.
