Hey everyone, the 1.1 update is rolling out, but it might take a couple of hours for your Steam client to get the update. For a taste of whats changed check out the new trailer above, otherwise read on!

New features:

• Steam Input support, which should allow more different types of controllers to work with the game
  
• New Game+ mode, which you'll need to beat the game using 1.1 to unlock (although you can do this with an old save file)
  
• New biomes
  
• New enemies & minibosses
  
• New weapons
  
• Spoiler log generation
  
• Seeded challenge modes
  

The patch that went out just now (v1.0.11) is a small one. This update fixes the GIF upload feature on the arcade challenges. Apologies that this wasnt fixed soonerI only found out about it yesterday!

In case you missed it, we announced our new game Cassette Beasts last month. Some of you may have noticed hints about it in Lennas Inception, in the lead up to its announcement!

Cassette Beasts is a monster-collecting RPG where you transform into the monsters you collect, and then fuse with your companions to create combined forms! Check out the website, store page, and the trailer:

The v1.1 update for Lennas Inception is coming along too. Andoh, whats this? Are these monsters fusing? I wonder what else Cassette Beasts and Lennas Inception have in common



Until next time!

Hi folks, hope you're all keeping safe! I haven't left my flat or spoken to another human being in two weeks, but there's nothing new about that :)

Luckily, the way we prefer to work at Bytten Studio is remotely, so we're still mostly unaffected at this stage. In fact we've been working on something very exciting that I hope will provide some of that positive news we all so desperately need. We'll be sharing that with you soon!

In the meantime, patch v1.0.10 is on the way out. Here's what it contains:

• New enemies
  
• New biomes

Hi folks, a new patch is on the way out! Heres what it contains:

Hi folks, a new patch is on the way out with bug fixes and a couple of speedrun-related improvements! Heres what it contains:

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• Added an optional in-game timer to story mode to aid with speedrunning. See below for details


• Made the positions and types of enemies spawned by the hallucination potion deterministic. On the same screen and the same seed, the same enemies will always spawn in the same positions

• A few users have reported an inability to launch the game on their machine. I've made some internal changes to the way the game starts that will hopefully resolve the issue, or if not, to at least log some additional information that will help track down the cause of the problem


• Fixed the cave music not looping correctly in 32-bit mode


• Fixed the perfect ending final boss fight locking up if you go into it with the hover effect on


• Black bars are now drawn along the side of the screen in ultrawide resolutions to avoid spoiling the locations of hidden rooms


• Fixed out-of-date dialogue in the Hallucinatory Battle Arena -- there are 9 rounds, not 11


• Fixed the Missinglasses breaking when using speedrun tricks to skip memory cutscenes


• Fixed a dungeon generator bug that caused water to sometimes be placed on the edge of a screen where you're not guaranteed to have the swimming shorts, potentially causing the player to be trapped there until death


• Fixed the temporary files the game creates not getting erased on Windows


• Removed an unintentionally bombable wall from a certain secret area

• The timer excludes time spent generating maps


• The timer is actually counting frames instead of time, so you might notice some drift versus wall-clock time


• The timer excludes time spent in menus, dialogs and the map


• Despite excluding the time spent in dialogs, it still includes time spent in cutscenes (however cutscenes are generally independent of player input so this won't affect relative rankings, etc.)


• It doesn't currently record your time upon completion of the game, but this is something we can add in future. For now you'll need to make a note of your time yourself

Hey everyone!

We've got a patch rolling out tonight with a ton of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements!

[h3]Improvements[/h3]

• We've added a 'Multiplayer' menu option to Story Mode. This menu option lets you assign controllers to player characters. If you haven't yet unlocked multiplayer it gives you a quest that will walk you through it


• All arcade challenges now start with the bicycle


• Made sparing Sandolphin and Delvin less awkward, and more like the other bosses: bring them down to their last hit point and then use the Power of Compassion


• The summary card for arcade challenge GIFs has been polished


• Removed the hovering effect from the blue, exploding, on-fire buff combo used on the final dungeon's minibosses and late-game cave monsters


• Whirligigs no longer receive buffs in miniboss rooms and caves


• Shortened the hallucination tunic minigame and made it more challenging

• Fixed inability to enter the palace via the sewer during multiplayer


• Fixed the incorrect functioning of the Missinglasses during multiplayer


• Fixed the inability to launch the game under the Turkish locale


• Fixed the overflow in the slot machines minigame


• Fixed the inability to use potions on a dead player in multiplayer


• Fixed the Chairman's bull projectiles launching early if you pause while they're spawning


• Fixed the Chairman's cashmehameha homing in forever on a dead player (in multiplayer)


• Removed the unused inventory slot


• Fixed spurious yellow dots in hidden cave rooms


• Fixed music sometimes stopping if you use the Missinglasses in Glitch City


• Fixed a few stray pixels in some animations on Shadow Lenna's sprite


• Fixed the incorrect description of the marshmallow quest


• Fixed the UI locking up while processing newly-recorded arcade challenge GIFs


• Fixed library books flipping 2 pages at a time if you bind the movement controls to the same keys as menu controls


• Fixed text entry breaking if you bind pause and/or cancel to alphanumeric keys

Thanks for the warm reception everyone! steamhappy

We're currently working on fixes for the issues you folks have been reporting. Lennas Inception might be a game about glitches, but some of them are unintended it seems!

A couple of patches went out last night and just now. Here's what's in them!

[h2]Patch v1.0.4[/h2]

• Fixed a couple of ways cut-scenes could be interrupted by phone calls and pizza deliveries.
  
• Fixed a bug that sometimes randomly returned control to the player during cut-scenes.
  
• Fixed some items of the players weaponry unintentionally palette-swapping to match the
  currently-equipped tunic.
  

• Fixed one of the final bosses dying instantly if you run into him at the right time.
  
• Fixed the map generator sometimes putting cave ladders in the way of dungeon entrances.
  
• Fixed a generator bug that created dungeons that cant be completed due to blocked pathways.
  
• Removed a particularly annoying section of the Goldilocks stealth side-quest.
  
• Removed the I AM ERROR mode from circulation in the daily seed, and made general improvements to the daily seeds ruleset randomisation.
  
• The locations of NPCs who trade with you are now shown on the map screen (in newly-created files).
  
• Ive also made some experimental changes that should hopefully help with the memory leak that reportedly happens after 6 hours of continuous playing.
  

At that point, player 1 can exit the dungeon and enter the Shadow Temple, pictured below, which is always near the starting town.
