Today is the 30th of December 2018. It has been 880 days since the last SinaRun update. 2 years, 4 months and 28 days. 685 days since the last news here about what I've been working on. 1 year, 10 months and 17 days. I've not been completely silent since then (see Twitter and Discord) but: Needless to say, that's a long time. Many of you probably moved on/forgot, some of you are probably disappointed or perhaps even angry (at me or the situation). The game must have been called "abandoned trash" or other names many times at that point. And I guess, that's probably fair... Though to be honest I don't expect much of you to be in the latter categories, after all SinaRun is just a game, a random indie one at that. (I don't even know if many people will be reading this post) However... It means a lot to me. Not necessarily because I LOVE the game that much (don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't have made this game if I didn't love and believe in it) but because it's my first real game, my first real project, the first real thing I poured a lot of time in. I've learned a lot about making games but also about myself while making this game. Even when it will be finished (because it will) it probably won't be a big game a lot of people remember like the big indie titles, but still that's probably okay to me because I'll forever remember it and it will forever be one of my favorite game because again, it means so much to me. I... don't want it to be in an unfinished state for the rest of my life. Everyone involved in this deserves better, you, me and hell, even the game does in some ways. The last two years have been pretty rough for me. Definitely not as rough as some of the people out there but still a lot of struggle with being depress, not having any motivation to work on the game for various reasons, who am I as a person etc. You know, the usual stuff. Stuff happens, I guess. Things have been going better these days, actually the last month or so was probably more productive than the last two years. I wish I could write my signature "haha" at the end of this sentence, but I think at this point, it wouldn't be too respectful. I want to finish this game and I want to make new ones too! I want to show you people that I'm not just "running away with the money" or "giving up". And finally: I hope there is still some people out there who just want to do the same levels hundreds of times in a row (only to get a slightly better time) because I'm making and finishing this game for you. Thank you.

It's been quite some time since the last SinaRun update (August) now! What's new? Well, after spending September-October realizing (a second time) that I didn't really like school I started working on the next SinaRun update (and also updating my website, if you haven't seen it yet it's pretty cool!). For this new update, my focus has been on improving the current content and overall polishing (I feel like I've said that before?). Of course, that doesn't mean there's no new content! But I must admit it wasn't the focus of this update. Alright, let's start!

Better UI Controls

Hey! As some of you might have noticed yesterday, my personal website princesseuh.eu domain expired and thus was not available. The situation is not fixed yet because of multiple reasons but for the moment I've setup a new domain : https://princesseuh.net Once princesseuh.eu come back I will make it redirect to this new address and everything should be cool again! (and in case some of you are wondering, yes this kill the SEO) Anyway! Today's patch fix a few minor issues you guys noticed and sometime appropriately reported in the last few days. Enjoy! Hopefully this is the last hotfix before the next content update

Hi! Yesterday I released an update, 1.5.1. Pretty much everything was smooth! However for a few users camera suddenly didn't work anymore. What happened? The issue was caused by an invalid configuration regarding controller sensibility. The game tried to load the specified sensibility but the variable was unexpectedly empty! Since the sensibility is partly calculated in the script that manage the camera, the camera completely stopped working for users affected by the issue. The issue was simply fixed by making sure the variable that contained the sensibility shouldn't be empty. In the future I hope to make the configuration system more robust to avoid this kind of issue and at the same time allowing Steam Cloud support!

Today I watched the French movie 'Comment c'est loin' which is about the rap/hip-hop duo Casseur Flowters. Basically the story is that they need to make a song in a day to please their producers who've been waiting for a few years for the duo first song, however under this basic almost comedy-like story the movie is actually about how the duo need to faces their issues, the fear of failure etc The end song which is both the song they make for their producer in the movie and the last song you hear before the credits theme is about how they or what they make will never be unaccomplished no matter what happen. How is that relevant to SinaRun you might ask? I don't know. I just though it was interesting and fairly inspiring Anyway, enough of this sad introduction!
Today update include changes to Elastic Light and others maps, many bugfixes and polishing there and there. There's not many changes that need to be detailed so the changelog should cover everything!

Hellooooo everyone. As said earlier this year : I was pretty busy with personal things and I couldn't work much on SinaRun. Well. The great news is I'm still somewhat busy but managed to get some work done on SinaRun! So that's nice. However the new update (1.5) still need some debugging, polishing and other things. Of course, I have testers but I figured it would be cooler if everyone could test and give feedback on the next update! So there we go. Leaderboards and multiplayer are disabled in the beta
To use the beta branch simply go in the game Steam settings, 'Beta' tabs and in the drop down choose 'Beta Branch'. To go back to the normal version click the other button. Now what's in this update you may ask? Lot of things! Maybe less than some of you expected, maybe more. Some of you will be happy, some will be crying! Actually it's a pretty bad update considering the amount of time since the last one..

Known Issues

• Some levels might look weird. Specially refering to the fog or colors
• This update introduce several anti-aliasing issues. I'll need to research a bit this because I'm not too sure how to fix it at the moment
• Level previews sometime doesn't represent the levels correctly (small visual issues)
• GUI Scaling is not finished and as such will cause issues at certain resolutions. Please report any issues!
• Shadows quality is somewhat lower than before
• Controllers might have issues on OSX and Linux
• Multiplayer is disabled in the beta (because it's broken)
• In a similar fashion to level previews : in the tutorial levels are not always represented correctly. While this is not intended, I don't particulary dislike it the way it is right now

Engine Changes

SinaRun now use Unity 5! Due to that many (non-intentional for the most parts) changes were made.
• Better performance all around! I didn't do many benchmarks but in the few ones I did the average FPS was much more stable and generally higher. Hopefully this is the case for everyone!
• Small visual changes! Unity 5 change the way fog work. Fog being used quite heavily in SinaRun it affect unintentionally how levels look. I tried to make them look as close as possible to what they used to look like but it was simply impossible for some (such as Slick Talk which use a big share of 'visual tricks' to look right). Addtional updates over time will come to fix the visual issues caused by the engine change but for the most part things work!

General Changes

• Added a new achievement (this was mostly to make 'environnement achievement' work. More achievement using this system will come in later updates)
• Maximum field of view is now 120
• The input settings now support mouse inputs. Which means you can now bind Jump to Mouse3 if you desire to! Scrollwheel is not supported as it doesn't work correctly in SinaRun since you need to hold the jump button to jump higher. Unlike CS:GO or Quake. But every button from Mouse0 to Mouse5 work!
• Added initial controller support. Please not that in addition to being unfinished this is only partial support and as such menus can't be navigated using controllers (yet!)
• The timer now start when the player leave the spawn position and not when the first key is pressed. This also means that on maps where the player start in the air, on a slope or anything that actually move the player the timer will start automatically (which is intentional for the moment)
• Added new settings to allow for X and Y axis to be inverted (I hope the guy who refunded the game because it was 'unplayable without invert axis' will rebuy it!)
• Default Field of View is now 85 (was 80 before)
• Removed the Equalize button in the input settings as it wasn't really useful and somewhat confusing
• Added new option to invert Sprint. If this is enabled you'll be running at sprint speed all the time and pressing the sprint button will slow you down to normal speed instead

Movement Changes

• Ground and Air Acceleration are now different based on if you're sprinting, running normally or walking. (As expected they are lower when not sprinting) This is a change I've wanted to do a loooong time ago (it's been in my todo-list for almost a year!) and now it's finally there. The acceleration while running normally is lower to prevent new users from being 'suprised' by the acceleration but still high enough to enable better players to stop sprinting when needed. As for the change to walking acceleration it's only to make it usable as the acceleration was waaay too high for it to be enjoyable when used. Recently I've thought about a few possible new mechanics that would still fit the minimalist style while adding new skillful options to runs. I'll have to look into it more and maybe it won't ever see the light of the day but I'll keep you guys updated!

UI Changes

• Added experimental GUI Scaling. Need a lot more work but this is a great start
• Reduced margin between elements in menus
• Made several small changes to make sure the menu was adapted correctly for every resolution with the new GUI Scaling stuff
• Added quick notes in some menus to inform users of certain things (ex : Times not being saved in Training Mode) It unfortunally didn't make it into this update but something I want to explore soon is tooltips for settings that can't be explained correctly in one line. Good examples would be "Clear Input on Reset" or 'Crease'. These two in particular can be kinda hard to understand.

Map Changes

• Added a new map : Elastic Light
• Added cool looking height fog to Wanderer Hideout and Elevated Highground. Might be a bit 'too much' but I kinda like it
• Made Red Things a little bit bigger to make it more playeable with the updated physics of SinaRun 2 (aka this game)
• Moved Community Interest into the 'Main Line' category. Doesn't need any changes I think!
• Removed outdated effects in classic maps (Fish eyes, film grain, weird glow etc) Slick Talk
• Improved overall performance
• Made a few visual tweaks to make it easier on the eyes (+ Unity 5 unintentional changes)
• Fixed a few floating platforms/pillars that weren't supposed to be floating
• General polishing (missplaced platforms, lack of decoration in certain area etc) White Roads
• Reduced Bloom (this might not be noticeable due to the engine change. I'll do further tweaks after feedback)

Tutorial Changes

• Made phantom platforms a bit more transparent so new players don't confuse them with real ones
• Made the same change to spawn position I did back in 1.4.3 (to other maps) to make it much much easier
• Moved the spawn position a little bit in the second part (Golden Opportunity part) to allow players to move a bit before falling off

Bug Fixes

• Fixed some minor typos in the English translation
• Fixed mouse not being hidden and locked correctly after alt-tab in game
• Fixed an issue where shadows distance was saved incorrectly and led to shadows being disabled
• Fixed some level previews having incorrect geometry or missplaced objects
• Fixed an issue where performance when viewing Spiritual Era level preview was unusually low
• Fixed not being able to rebind a key to the key it was already binded to
• Fixed Back button in the Keybinds settings not going to the correct menu
• Fixed RightShift being unbindable and Left and Right Alt not binding correctly (they previously binded to CTRL Left&Right)
• Fixed an issue where the keybind would get stuck in 'Key already binded' even though the binding actually worked
• Fixed View Full Leaderboard button not opening the right leaderboard in some cases
• (Maybe?) Fixed issues where weird effects would happen when looking at literally nothing (aka no particles, platforms etc on the screen) when anti-aliasing was enabled
• Fixed various very rare issues related to wrong times being sent to the leaderboards or leaderboards not working at all. More work will have to be done toward this in the future. I added simple stats collecting to help debug these issues in the future. Hopefully it all goes well

Hi! In light of the update coming soon-ish I want to bring the community a bit back together Since the game itself doesn't have like a global chat of some kind (which would be quite a good idea actually. Maybe?) I thought about making a Discord server for the game! If you don't know Discord is a text/voice service like Mumble, Teamspeak or Skype which become pretty popular recently. You can read more about it on its website : https://discordapp.com/ Here's the invite link : https://discord.gg/0sxTlVBVZkMwFYYr Hopefully -unlike the subreddit- we will be able to build some kind of community there! Hope some of you will come and talk or at least lurk!

Hi! It's been a few months now since the last update. I'm terribly sorry about that. Recently I've been busy with a professional project and many others (I promise interesting! At least for me) things. And as expected when I'm not busy with these things I prefer relaxing doing random things than working on this (also laziness! Another problem that affect us all.) I'm still working on the update and I still plan on releasing it as soon as possible! I've recently taken a few steps to prepare the beta part of it (Since it's a breaking update I would like to beta-test it before using the leaderboards and stuff on it) As a way to show that I'm not just going away with the money and never coming back I'll be reducing the price of the game to 2.49$ USD until further notice. Effectively reducing the profit I'll make until I pick myself up and start working on this again. Again, I'm very very very sorry. I hope you don't hate me too much for this! I promise I won't let you guys down As always if you have any questions, feedbacks, ideas, problems etc don't hesitate to post in the forums, send me a mail, mention me on Twitter, post on the subreddit etc and I'll answer as fast as possible! A big thanks to the users that send me messages with their feedbacks or questions. It really help getting motivated to work on this and I'm glad some people are able to enjoy the game even with the lack of updates! Sorry. Princesseuh

Hi! Since the last update I've been hard working on [strike]my Path of Exile build[/strike] the 1.5 update! I've talked a bit about the new features on Twitter and various other places already but here's a better preview of what's currently in and confirmed :

Input System update (Controller Support, mouse bindings and various fixes)

Unity 5 Upgrade

Like pretty much every games on Steam at the moment SinaRun is discounted during the Exploration Sale! -15% might not seems like the biggest of deals but considering the low price of the game it's still pretty cool! Obviously this is the biggest deal the game had so far considering it's not even one month since release. Don't forget to share it with your friends that could be interested!

Second 'major' patch for SinaRun. This update add Steam Achievements, various things requested by the community (lower minimum sensibility, spawn height changes, more info when selecting levels etc) and obviously fixes bugs. Hope you like it!

General Changes

• ADDED Steam Achievements! I plan on adding more over the time when I can considering right now the game lack some systems to make 'advanced' achievements work. Also the current icons are low-quality but I'll be getting higher quality ones in the days to come hopefully. Depending on the artists availability
• ADDED a Status bar that show various info in game. Currently doesn't show as much as I would like it to. More info will be added in future updates!
• ADDED a little box of infos when selecting Levels. It show the level difficulty, your best local time, the dev time and various tags that relate to the levels. Blast Tendency for instance has the 'Sea of Platforms' tag where Unusual Downtown has the 'Slides' tag. This should help players find a level that suit them. Levels can have multiple tags aswell
• ADDED more precision to the sensibility setting. The lowest it can be is now 0.05 and it work by 0.05 increments (similar to CS:GO). The highest is still 10
• ADDED a button to apply custom FPS cap without having to click 'Back'
• CHANGE Enabled the 'View Full Leaderboard' button in the leaderboards. It open the Steam leaderboards page in your browser
• CHANGE Changed volume default value for new install to be 0.4 instead of 0.5. There hasn't been any complaints about default sound volume but I felt like it was too high

A week after release here's the first patch for SinaRun. It should address most complaints since release! Hope you like it!

General Changes :

Today is the first day of November. Glad to see there's no snow yet in Canada. Though this period of the year is always kinda sad due to not much outside activities being possible. (Or at least not as much as in Summer or Winter) Anyway! That's not important. It's not like gamers actually go outside anyway. Today I'm here to talk to you about the first real patch for SinaRun! Since release I've been trying my best to read all news and threads on the forums about SinaRun to see the overall reaction to game or to see if there's any problems, feedbacks, issues etc. The feedback and complaints are all pretty similar and pretty much all about smaller details (Controller Support is a small detail to me compared to like 'hey the whole game sucks') so it's kinda nice! Hopefully once these issues are fixed I'll be able to start working on bigger things (Multiplayer overhaul, Unity 5 port, Level Editor etc.) without having to worry too much about the core game having too much problems! I won't show the full patch notes just yet (It's not 100% finished anyway) but here's a few things that are confirmed that I know you guys wanted :

• Pressing CTRL (by default) now allow you to walk (not useful for running obviously. It's intended for map exploration, multiplayer chilling etc.)
• Movement Changes! Air Acceleration and Sideways Speed are now both higher. This should help players that have problems turning in some maps and allow new creative shortcut on current and future maps
• Left Shift can now be rebinded correctly and a Reset button was added to the Input menu! Hopefully this should fix the issues of non-bindable keys (Right Shift is still bugged)
• Slick Talk has gone through a few visual changes to avoid burning players eyes! I also moved a few platforms to make the first turn easier for beginners while still allowing better players to skip it entirely using the previously discovered shortcuts. Hopefully this lead to less frustration while playing this level as a beginner
