This is a rather major update, and very delayed given the release of the game, but this hopefully fixes all the related issues that have surfaced with the controllers, also supporting a bigger number of them.

Hello, Cyberpunks!

Minor update:
-Fixed an issue when loading the game (graphical glitch)
-Fixed the sprite oldest crash (though that means that I had to remove the reflection frames/effect from the game), but fixing a crash > visual effect.

-Now the back button on the main menu displays proper information.
-Fixed a visual glitch for the Chapter 12 Boss.
-Did another patch for the Sprite::Oldest Crash, which refuses to die (This time I'm very certain however, cause there was an omission on my part that I noticed).

Now, an upgrade option menu is available when you finish a stage. The game notifies you when UPGRADES are

possible, you can gain points from the COMPLETION RATING of each stage up to 100% per stage.

In specific you can upgrade the following things:

A) DAMAGE IN WEAPONS:
- Bat
- Gun
- Laser
- Flame

B) IMPROVEMENT MECHANICS:
- Increase the Charge Rate of the LASER.
- Increase the threshold in which the FLAMETHROWER overheats.
- Damage reduction("Hysteria depletion") on the penalty you receive when you use Second Wind.
- Increase Total Damage when in Time-Dillation.

C) PROTECTION:
- Damage reduction

-Also added a minorine achievement.

FIXES:
-Fixed an issue with the Keyboard and Options UI of the MAIN MENU.
-Restored certain dialog lines

Fixed an issue where number of kill stats could be greater than the number of enemies on the level.
-Fixed an issue where shooting the laser on a platform would hurl you forward.
-Now "dogs" in chapter 10, take double damage (NORMAL MODE)
-Added a tip for chapter 11.

Now slowmotion hurts less when you use it. (Normal Mode)
-Second Chance now hurts less when you use it. (Normal Mode)
-Adjusted duration on all the platforms that use hysteria on chapter 9, so that they stay more (Normal Mode)
-Now SWARM (the flying robots that cut your head off) now don't instakill you. They deal a lot of damage, but no more instakills.

Now game will appear by fully filling the screen (instead of using black side and top borders), and you can adjust the option in OPTIONS, on the MAIN MENU or in the configuration tool. This was always possible, it's just a bit silly that this isn't the norm and several new players have expressed annoyance over this.

"Borders: None"
"Borders: Side"
"Borders: Top"
"Borders: Side & Top"

Now after twenty long years, APARTMENT is accessible from the main-menu
- Now Back + Y on your XBOX 360 will do the CTRL-B trick as well.
- Added a background behind the RESET text, when you die to make it easier to read that text.
- Fixed a bug with CTRL-T message.

Fixed a crash bug if you restarted (CTRL-B) in the ending cutscene of Second Chapter's Boss fight.
-When you pick a joystick the game will re-check and set up proper button configuration.
-Ctrl-B will now skip the LOGOS in the beginning (requested by Jaledor)
-Fixed an exploit where you could get Seth standing in the middle and easily beat him.
-Got rid of sprite-oldest bug (which is what caused a lot of people crashes).


Merry Christmas!

Fixed a crash bug on Chapter 5 Stage 3.
-Fixed a crash bug on Chapter 5 Stage 4.
-Now, goblins on chapter 7 will die when u cross a checkpoint.

Fixed two issues with the keyboard controlling the stage select
-Update the demo to current main build

) Fixed an issue with Stage 4 Chapter 12 (initial jump was harder and it would consider your drop as a fall, when it shouldn't)
2) Increased speed in which camera moves (in intro cutscene) when you are on boss hardcore mode for chapter 8 Boss Fight (Octavio)
3) Fixed some leap of faith issues in Stages:
--Chapter 9 Stage One
--Chapter 9 Stage Two
--Chapter 9 Stage Three
--Chapter 10 Stage One
--Chapter 10 Stage Two
--Chapter 10 Stage Three
--Chapter 10 Stage Four

I've increased the damage of the flamethrower on the zombies
-Also increased the stun delay for the Swarm regarding the Chapter 8 levels
-Fixed an issue whereas the flamethrower sound and delay would pass from stage to stage, now it stops and properly resets to 0.
-Concerning normal difficulty, now sitting on chairs with sanity below 100 won't kill you.

Added new game mode, boss mode, contains instructions in-game
-Added two new achievements, regarding said game mode.
-Fixed some issues with Second Wind
-Fixed an optical glitch with Progress Saved
-Replaced Restart And Progress Saved with blue hued ones.
-Fixed some long pauses on some of Doctor's lines.

Fixed Second Wind's greatest mishaps, and the fact that it would spawn you on a non-existent platform. Also now, when it pulls you behind it resets all the falling platforms so u can actually make the damn jump.
-Fixed Ctrl-B in two parts
1) Now it points to the proper stage
2) It can be run at any time (mostly it will hold the command, but during 3-2-1 ending screen, it will immediately restart the stage.
-Now joystick will ignore the analogue stick if you're using the dpad, unless you move the analogue stick to the edge. That way we avoid people that wanna use the dpad and don't want sudden movements of the analogue stick to affect their play

I will try to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXq-14lV79s

Major Addition:
Second wind mechanic.
Basically this makes the artist, the artist, and the exoskeleton, an actual exoskeleton, once per stage, you can use second wind (if you want), within a second, after u fall to your demise, to turn back time and fix mistakes. I feel like this is a cool step, and since, unfortunately, we cannot go back and adjust each level to less platforming, that's how it goes. Plus since, second wind has been given to you on the tutorial, there's no point in not allowing it as a mechanic.



Fixes/Adjustments:
-Increased flamethrower cooldown cap
-Increased flamethrower damage on melting tires
-Increased laser damage on flesh enemies on Hysteria
-Fixed an issue with a moving platform, pointed out by CasinoCoin
-Fixed a potential, rare, but still potential crash chance.

) 6 achievements (Plus i added progress to the death and kills achievements)
2) Items/interactive points that require you to either get 80% on the stages of a chapter (not including the boss fight) or get above 90% on the respective boss fight.
3) Fixed Stage Select now points to the last chapter/stage in progress.
4) Added a minor visual/smooth effect to the chapter selection
5) Added some info for those that first enter the apartment, and/or are not aware they can move.
6) Fixed some typos.

These items will provide a bit more of backstory to the respective boss and will be presented as scattered items throughout the apartment.

Fixes planned but not yet in:
1) Long delay/pauses between dialogues.


There was an issue with the DLC being uploaded wrong through Steam, so if you have the DLC this update will also redownload it.

I'm open to any thoughts, so please share yours if you have them.

After some long consideration, and certain voices that have voiced their annoyance over this, even though nobody quite expressed it in a sense that I heard about this and refused to take action, instead it was a silent complaint, I've taken a forward step towards the addition of a new mechanic.

Basically till chapter Nine, where there is a healthbar, till then you have an armor. It kinda works like Ghouls N Goblins, except this one recharges on normal difficulty. Through the use of the shield.

Obviously, falls will still mean death, however when you are hit by an enemy, when your shield is down or can't block said attack, you'll be able to survive the hit. The armor will discharge when it absorbs said hit. That means you need to either wait for about 20 seconds for it to charge on its own, or you can charge it in 2 by using your shield. And then you can take another shot to the face.

That way we make the shield more useful, since many of the players I've seen do ignore it, and you no longer die cause some enemy pulled a gun on you faster, even though now u can see them.

This instructional message will appear on Stage Two, Chapter One, which is the first stage in the game that has enemies.

MESSAGE:

The exoskeleton's armor can prevent lethal damage, when it's fully charged
1) The armor will discharge when it succesfully absorbs damage.
2) It recharges on its own after a little while.

Normal Difficulty:
3)You can speed this process by opening up the SHIELD

On Chapter Ten Boss, damage on the boss has been doubled (Normal Difficulty)
-On Chapter Ten Boss Fight Stage, platforms will no longer disappear(Normal Difficulty)
-On Chapter Seven, Vikings will no longer get up (Normal Difficulty)
-On Chapter Nine, Mech-zombies will no longer get up (Normal Difficulty)
-Doubled the rate of the Hysteria restored (Normal Difficulty)
-Fixed stats regarding Chapter Nine Boss Fight
-Added a UI part, that shows two things:
1) Player's position relative to the level.
2) Closest enemy's position relative to the level.

INTERFACE Related Adjustments:

-Changed the graphical interface regarding how the speed shows, to actually make sense.
-Added overlay with XBOX controls for Controller Binding UI
-Fixed an issue with the joystick sprint button being the same with the switch weapon

GAMEPLAY Related Adjustments:

-Added a shield minor delay that makes you invulnerable when you turn it off
(That is done to avoid the bullshit factor, mildly put)
-Removed an enemy from Stage 4 Chapter 3
-Fixed enemies on Chapter 5 (The Diving ones, they are now way easier to dodge, before they would calculate the distance and your current speed and predict a falling drop)

Fixed sprite oldest crash (very rare)
-Fixed tip text appearing on progress saved screen
-Fixed issues with certain UIs regarding d-pad and controllers in general

Thanks to recent feedback,

1) I've added a small UI when the game starts for the first time (till you actually end up playing) that gives the chance to the player to select between preferred control method between
-Mouse
-Keyboard
-Controller

2) Also a fix has been done concerning the 1000 deaths achievement, that ended up being bugged.

3) Hoverboard controls are now better. Up and Down or Jump and Shield

The update is 5.0mb and won't reset or alter progress.

In addition to the updates, fixes and changes mentioned in the last update, wanted to bring this to your attention.

By popular demand I have now included the original soundtrack. This is my gift to the early fans of the game, and will be free for a limited time.

Additionally, just added Trading Cards.

Thank you all for your support. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts on message boards. We are around and try to be responsive.

I've had a big discussion with a user today, and from the overall experience, you guys and gals, have shared I've updated the game again, with the following fixes.

-Double B

Added a functionality, which means that when playing with the joystick,
if you press double B (which is the back button), the first time it takes u to the respective back button, and the second time, it activates said back button and takes you out of the UI.

-POV Works for MENUS

POV seemed to work only with the game controls before, now it works also with all the menus/UIs.

-CONFIRM BUTTON MOUSE-OVER GRAPHICS

Adjusted the visibility of the mouse-over graphic for the Confirm and Cancel buttons that would appear once you started a new game.

-UI BUTTONS MOUSEOVER GRAPHICS

Adjusted the visibility of the mouse-over graphic for several buttons that would make it hard to discern before, now should be good and very visible where the selection is at.

-Twitching

Fixed a minor twitching glitch that would appear when u first go on the world map screen, from the MAIN MENU.

-Apartment on the MAIN MENU

Fixed an issue, where you could take ur selection on the Apartment, on the World Map Screen, thus making the selection disappear entirely, now, that is no longer possible.

So taking as much feedback as humanly possible, I've done another update, it's way more unimportant than the previous one, but towards the correct direction I believe.


*Bugfixes*

1) Fixed an issue that would rarely but still occur on Stage 1 Chapter 1 (both modes)


*Reduced difficulty factors regarding Normal Difficulty (Hard mode is unaffected)*


1) Bosses Ichi and Ori are now easier to beat.
-Ichi's platforms move slower now
-Ori takes less hits to kill
-Ori bubble radius decreased a bit as well

The reasoning behind this is that most of the people give up on either of these bosses

3) Now, difficulty scaling, scales lesser for Normal Mode by 50%
4) Moving Bombs on Stage 2 Chapter 2, are now moving slower and thus make the level quite less annoying. And themselves as well.
5) Chapter Eight's Swarm is now disabled for twice the time as it was before, thus making it easier to handle, you're not supposed to allow it to spawn, but at least u can easily outrun it and finish the stage, and get that achievement.


Epilogue.

Honestly, if you think there are bullshit factors, please do report them, I want to make this game as potentially best as humanly possibly, I think the content is there, was always there, I just hope it's accessible.

As always progress will not be affected or deleted ever by any of the updates, so you're in good hands.

I've decided that a lot of the issues lying with the game's frustrating nature, lie on the lack of checkpoints, and thus I've implemented two difficulty modes, one with (default), one without. The change should be available on the main menu options, in case you want to change difficulty.

Let me know what you guys think!

Certain stages won't feature this, (4 total) and none of the boss fights will.
Plus we got trading cards and the rest up and running
