Hey guys, a small patch has just gone live:

• Fixed losing momentum on step-ups in rare cases

This so called "edge glitch" has been by far the most requested fix by the passionate Refunct speedrun community. Also Refunct was released five years ago. Thank you so much for your support! To celebrate you can pay what you want (starting at 0$) to download Refunct's soundtrack by Singto Conley in high-quality MP3 or FLAC. Thank you! - Dominique

It's surreal that a game I made is now available on later versions of consoles that I originally grew up with. I am eternally grateful and thankful for the huge support of each and everyone of you which allowed me to finally fulfill my childhood dream from 20 years ago: Refunct on Nintendo Switch Refunct on Xbox One Refunct on PlayStation 4 Also the Refunct Discord has been officially verified. Come say hi to the welcoming community and chat about Refunct, the upcoming Refunct speedrun tournament and more. Seriously THANK YOU - Dominique

Figure 1: Deadzone after (left move, right aim)
Figure 2: Deadzone before (left move, right aim) Using smaller radial deadzones (figure 1) instead of square ones (figure 2) allows for a wider range of input and more control.
Figure 3: Aim acceleration Changing to a linear aim acceleration (figure 3) with an outer zone which has twice the sensitivity allows for the highest precision in addition to fast turning. This is called Dual-Zone and is also the default in Overwatch. It will take some time to get used to but should increase the speedrun potential when using gamepads. Please let me know what you think as I am especially interested in getting feedback about this specific change.

Changelog

• Improved gamepad movement and aiming
• Improved performance by optimizing meshes and materials
• Improved settings gamepad/keyboard navigation
• Fixed clipping into geometry after climbing in rare cases
• Fixed incorrect field of view when restarting during outro in rare cases
• Fixed noticeable near shadow cascade transition
• Fixed outro time hour formatting at 1000+ hours
• Tweaked field of view range to 70-120

You can try the changes on Windows by opting into the 'test' beta branch in the Refunct Steam library properties. Thank you for your feedback, Dominique

Hey guys! Refunct Update 9 is now live which adds better water reflections, 6 new achievements, 11 new languages and more:

• Added lit and shadowed real-time planar water reflections on at least medium and especially ultra effects quality settings (not supported on Linux)
• Added 6 achievements
• Added Arabic (not supported on Linux), Bulgarian, Czech, European Portuguese, Greek, Hungarian, Japanese, Romanian, Thai, Traditional Chinese and Ukrainian localization
• Added right-to-left UI layout support for Arabic
• Improved some existing localizations
• Improved outro text quality
• Fixed maintaining velocity when walljumping off of the very top of objects
• Fixed resetting language to default on macOS and Linux
• Tweaked automatically detected quality settings
• Tweaked alternate outro text criteria
• Tweaked selecting first played music on startup

Achievements

Of the new achievements there are 3 which add additional questions asked from the collected cubes which will be automatically awarded if you start Refunct on a completed save. The other 3 achievements are about finishing Refunct under a certain completion% and in specific times adding challenge while still being very fair for those wanting to experience the depth of the movement system and introducing different ways to play Refunct. They were added due to high demand for replayability after getting 100% Refunct in-game and to make sure that Refunct has the same features on Steam compared to the recently released Xbox One version. I am sorry for those that might feel temporarily robbed of one of their "Perfect Games" due to adding those achievements post-release so if you are not able to complete them please feel free to send me a mail to the address found on the support page so I can unlock them for you.

Speedrun

Also consider joining the Refunct speedrun community and challenge yourself further by submitting your recorded runs to the official leaderboard where you can see some cool tricks and optimal routes which may be helpful for getting the achievements.

Conclusion

Hopefully adding those completely optional achievements and other improvements like better reflections adds more value to you guys. Additionally Refunct is now available in all 27 languages currently supported by Steam thanks to the translations done by this awesome community. Your continued support and understanding is very appreciated. Take care!

Do you want to get your name in the in-game credits + get a copy of Refunct and are you a native speaker of either Traditional Chinese (繁体中文), Arabic (العَرَبِيَّة), Ukrainian (Українська), Greek (ελληνικα), Romanian (Română), Bulgarian (български), Thai (ภาษาไทย) or Portuguese vs. Portuguese-Brazil? If so please translate Refunct into your native language in the following spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tu-7cMYiVQhhdmVxd_8iHiukA0xOpHHFpGaKN443JM8/edit?usp=sharing Refunct has already been translated by the community into dozens of languages showing their vast helpfulness and kindness and adding support for all remaining languages supported by Steam would allow more people in the world (and maybe even some in your country) to experience the game.
Thank you!

Refunct is a relaxing game and is best enjoyed on your own pace. Notwithstanding due to popular demand a new update has been released to improve the speedrunning experience including a completion timer, instant restarts and more! Head over to speedrun.com to take part in the speedrun community. Simply record a video of your run, press the menu button during Refunct's outro to show the completion time (after completing the game at least once), upload it to Youtube or similar and submit it. For advanced Windows users there is a Livesplit script available for automatic resets and splits between each level segment thanks to some speedrunners writing it. Simply download Livesplit, extract it, start Livesplit executable, right-click opened window, choose Open Splits > From Speedrun.com..., Search for Refunct, choose the slowest non-grayed-out time, hit Download, start Refunct, go to ESC > Options > Window Mode > Switch to Windowed Fullscreen and start running (you only manually need to reset after a completed run using a hotkey as defined in Livesplit settings). You can also join the community moderated Refunct speedrun Discord server to chat with the runners and get help setting up Livesplit. Here is the full changelog of the update:

• Added game completion timer shown in menu during outro after completing game once
• Added instant game restart
• Added persistent music and time of day through restarts
• Added underwater low-pass music filter
• Added exit game confirmation dialog
• Added focusing restart button on menu and hiding level restart confirmation after second restart
• Fixed z-fighting of some travel pipes and remaining pillars
