Aftermath fixes update

Updated Dark Sheep to v1.2.2 addressing two issues with the Aftermath update.

[h2]Aftermath Level Selection[/h2]
Using keyboard to navigate Level Select wasn't working correctly.
The keyboard cursor wouldn't align properly and would make level selection confusing.

Aftermath Scoreboard
Viewing your Aftermath Levels results in the Scoreboard wasn't working properly, there was an issue with reading correct data.

More options & fixes!

Updated to v1.1.2

[h2]New Input Option[/h2]
In Settings - Controls, you can now choose if you want the game to register holding down a key or only pressing a key to move/undo.

[h2]Input Delay Option[/h2]
If you are using the Hold & Press option, you can select how fast the game detects if you are holding the key down. The available range is from 0.1 - 1 second. This can be adjusted in Settings - Controls

[h2]Changed Default Settings[/h2]
Based on player feedback, by default the game detects Press only and the Input Delay is set to 0.2.
This can be changed in Settings - Controls as mentioned above.

[h2]Rebinding in-game issue[/h2]
When rebinding the reset key while in-game, it would rebind the key and restart the entire level.

[h3]Enjoy the game and leave a review to let me know what you think about it![/h3]

Update 1.1.1

Just updated game version to 1.1.1

[h2]Level Clear Screen[/h2]
Following the Major update, after finishing a level, the amount of undos used in that level did not show. The screen always displayed 0.

[h2]Retrying levels[/h2]
When you retry a level after finishing it, the undo and restart counter did not reset.

Enjoy the game!

Hotfix for 1.1.0

Hotfixed the newest version 1.1.0 based on the feedback that holding down a left movement key in Chapter 4 doesn't work and only pressing it works. This issue has been fixed in this hotfix.


[ 2021-09-16 15:20:46 CET ] [ Original post ]

Major Update!

Version 1.1.0 just went live!

[h2]Infinite Undos[/h2]
Re-programmed the entire undo system completely. It is now not limited to a single undo as before. You can now undo as many steps as possible. Thank you everyone who brought up this issue in the feedback. Turns out the limited undo was too strict and punishing, especially in the harder levels.

[h2]Steam Achievements & New PAR Achievement[/h2]
Steam Achievements have been implemented. There's also a new one for getting a PAR in every single level. Happy hunting!

[h2]Press or Hold a key[/h2]
Same as with infinite undos, I've changed how the input works.
You can now press or hold a key to move around. Also works for undoing moves.

[h2]Improved Level Selection Screen[/h2]
In Level Selection you can now clearly see which level you've unlocked, finished and beat the PAR.

Grey number = Unlocked
White number = Finished
Yellow number = Finished with PAR

Level Selection contains a legend that explains this as well.

Enjoy the update!

Update v1.0.4 - Steam Overlay Crashes

Just updated Dark Sheep to the newest version 1.0.4.

[h2]Start-up crash[/h2]
Steam Overlay can rarely cause the game to crash, this seems to be a very rare and computer set-up specific issue. Most users didn't experience any crashes caused by the Steam Overlay and can use Steam Overlay normally.

[h2]Code cleanup[/h2]
Performed some code cleanups on my end, nothing that you'll notice during playing the game, but it did require me to push an update.

Enjoy the game!

Update v1.0.3 - Unlimited Skips & More!

Hello everyone,

Just updated Dark Sheep to the newest version 1.0.3.

Let's go through what's fixed and improved!

[h2]Unlimited Skips[/h2]
Due to the popular demand, I've changed the way skipping levels work.
Now you can skip as many levels as you like (except the last one). Before it wasn't possible to skip two levels in a row.

[h2]Level Select[/h2]
The in-game menu now contains the Level select option as well. Therefore you don't have to go back to the main menu, to be able to select a different level.

[h2]Best Moves[/h2]
Some people experienced issues with their best moves count not being saved.
This issue occurred when you would finish a level and went back to the main menu.

[h2]Game Icon[/h2]
When playing in windowed mode, the game wasn't displaying the correct icon.

Enjoy the game and make the Dark Lord proud!

Update v1.0.2 - Quality of Life & Hotfixes

Hello everyone,

Just updated Dark Sheep to the newest version 1.0.2.

Let's go through what's fixed and improved!

[h2]Key Rebinds[/h2]
Due to popular demand the Menu and Cancel hotkeys are now binded to the same key.
Also if you're trying to bind to a key already in use, the game will notify you of this fact.

[h2]Textbox Sound[/h2]
Added a new option in the Audio Settings. Now you can turn on/off the sound of text appearing in the text box during cutscenes. This setting is on by default.

[h2]Hotkeys Text[/h2]
In-game HUD Buttons show you what their assigned hotkey is. Certain keys such as Back Space were too lengthy and the text wouldn't display correctly.

[h2]Default Controls[/h2]
I've changed the default controls to be more intuitive.
Eg: Spacebar is the hotkey for the next level instead of N.

[h2]Transition from Logo to the Main Menu[/h2]
When you launch the game, after the logo fades away, you're supposed to be taken to the main menu.
However, this wouldn't have happent and you were forced to press a key.

Enjoy the game and make the Dark Lord proud!

Update v1.0.1 - Hotfixes

Hello everyone,

I've just published the newest version of Dark Sheep on Steam.
There were some issues that I've fixed with this update.

Level Unlocking
Some people experienced issues with the level selection screen.
The unlocked level was always 1 level behind.
Eg: If you beat level 3, you only had level 2 unlocked.

Level Selection - Keyboard
Using keyboard controls, players could have accessed locked levels.
Something that was not possible with the mouse controls. Ops!

Display Settings
When you would press the escape key in the Display Settings, it wouldn't take you to the previous menu.
Instead you were forced to press the Back button with your mouse.

Please keep in mind that I keep bug fixing my games even after the release.
If you run into any issues, you can report it via Steam or directly to my email address
DaisyGamesStudio@gmail.com

I am sorry if you ran into any of these issues and for the inconvenience they've caused.
