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

General Changes :

Added a Reset button to the Input settings. This should prevent issues with non-bindable keys!

Added Noclip to the training mode. Simply press F3 to toggle. The controls are the same as in normal mode. WASD to move, Space to go up, Shift to go faster etc. (CTRL to go down)

Added a new option to clear all inputs on Reset. Everytime you reset you'll have to press all keys you were holding again. Off by default! (in Game Settings)

Updated Elevated Highground level preview

Reduced the size of the general font used in the menus

Updated many menus with added spacing to make it easier to navigate and re-ordered stuff.

Various crashes related to rendering things. Nothing too specific!

Left Shift should now be bindable correctly. Pressing Right Shift will bind to Left Shift though

Velocity and X Rotation are now saved correctly in training mode

Reduced the size of the training UI to avoid it being over the chat in multiplayer in smaller resolution (it wasn't used space anyway)

Fixed being able to launch a menu transition while one was already happening

(very) Slightly improved performances during pauses, resets and level endings

Movement Changes :

Pressing CTRL (By default. You can rebind it) now allow you to walk. If you want to go safely somewhere.. This isn't supposed to help you make better times. If holding both Walk and Sprint, sprint will take priority

Air Acceleration is now higher

Sideways speed is now a little bit higher These two changes should allow for better turning (which in turn should allow for more skips and levels now designed around turns that aren't as worse as Slick Talk) and improve the experience while still having the linear feel in linear maps (such as Sweet Sweet Celestial or Blast Tendency) Further changes will be made if needed. Though this should already allow for more creative things and better handling

Map Changes :

Updated developer time for Wanderer Hideout, Sweet Sweet Celestial, Slick Talk, Community Interest and Spiritual Era Classic Maps Changes :

Added leaderboards to Blue Collums, Light City and Dark Abyss

Re-arrangered the menu listing of the Classic Category so that the three leaderboard-enabled levels are first

Slighty reduced fog in Light City Golden Opportunity :

Rotated and moved a pillar at the beginning of the map to allow for fun map exploration You might have played in multiplayer with me and I might have promised you that I would do it.. Slick Talk :

Added pretty pillars and others decorations to the background of the map. You can't reach them but they look pretty cool! It's mostly because I felt some part of the level were pretty empty of decoration

Added a few decorations inside the map aswell but none are really reachable without doing crazy thing. Doesn't affect any shortcuts previously discovered

Lowered light intensity. Apparently not everyone was fan of having their eyes burning

Angled Light differently to make some platforms easier to see

Added more platforms to the beginning of the big turn and changed current one to go with the movement changes and to allow a better experience for beginners

The exterior wall during the turn is now higher to prevent people from thinking that's where they need to go at first

Fixed a bug where you would jump higher in multiplayer (only affected Slick Talk)

Fixed some platforms that weren't affected by shadows (which was unintentional. Unlike Inner Synergy where the platforms are not affected at the moment) Overall these changes shouldn't change anything for better players while improving the first experience. I'm aware this map is painful to play as a beginner due to the big turn in the beginning. Though I hope the turn being painful and somewhat slow is what lead top players to search clever shortcuts around it.

Tutorial Changes :

Rewrote parts of the tutorial to teach the player that holding space make you jump higher, to watch out for the initial acceleration, the fact that R allow to reset during the first tutorial and to make it more obvious that stopping is bad!

Made the first tutorial a lot more safer by making the railing a bit longer, making the bridge wider, adding a little staircase if the player fall on the little railling under and lowered the deathbox so that the player can understand what happened if he were to fall.

Fixed the last 'level' of the tutorial not having a death zone Hopefully these two changes should lead to a better first experience assuming the player actually do the tutorial.

Multiplayer Changes :

When no games are found the game will now ask you if you would like to create one or play in Single Player.

Added back button to the level selector. There's always been one in Singleplayer so no reason to not have it in Multiplayer as well

You can't load the tutorial in multiplayer using the 'Change Server Parameter' menu anymore (it didn't work anyway. You couldn't see others players nor finish the map) Chat Changes :

Changed the formatting of messages to make reading easier. It's now "HOUR:MINUTE

- NICKNAME: MESSAGE" instead of "HOUR:MINUTE | NICKNAME : MESSAGE"

The chat font is now slightly smaller to allow for more text to be shown at once

The padding between each line has been reduced a little for the same reason as above

The Chat is now a bit bigger to allow for more.. well you get it.

The limit of character per message is now 155 instead of 100. Will be subject to changes but it should be good for the moment.

The Chat is now a bit more transparent when not focused. A way to hide it completely and making it appear only when message are sent will be added too.

The selection color is no longer a weird looking bright orange Patch Size : 7MB

SinaRun is a minimalist 3D platform/racing game.

The goal? Simply make the best time! What makes you different from the other players is not the cheap abilities you can get on the playground. It's how good you will be at optimizing jumps, turns and general route-finding.

The game is designed to not lead the players toward any levels. While all levels are (currently) pretty similar all levels feature slight changes in gameplay. Do you like small and quick jumps? Maybe you prefer bigger levels with turns and falls? What about sliding?

There's most likely a level you will like. At least I hope so! (If not please post in the forum and I'll see what I can do)

Find a level you like, play it hundreds of times and eventually maybe be the best on the leaderboard!

Current Features :

16+ Levels with multiple paths. Finding a good route is the first step toward a good time!
Leaderboards (Beat your friends or compete in the global leaderboard)
Online Multiplayer (Server browser, join your friends etc.)
Music by the awesome General Fuzz (Early Access Trailer Music by Keffy Kay)
Steam Trading cards
