Hello, everyone! Its been a while since we last spoke but weve had a good reason: weve been hard at work on a new update to improve some aspects of Alt254s gameplay as well as adding a series of quality-of-life improvements, like map annotations -- check out how cool they look:
Weve been working with one goal in mind: to make the game as accessible as possible, so you can enjoy the minimalistic journey of Alt 254. So, without further ado, heres a list of the new features that you will find in this new update, available tomorrow:

• Map annotations: you can now put marks on the map to signal what you encounter along the way.
• You can check what ground level you are in when the map shows up.
• The UI has been revamped to give you visual cues when there's a secret passage nearby. We don't want to spoil the surprise -- but you'll notice when you see it!
• Combat has received a general overhaul to make it fairer.
• Also, you will be rewarded with HP when you defeat an enemy.
• Enemies now only respawn after you die. They wont do it when you reach a checkpoint.
• A new system to evaluate the players needs has been implemented: now the Oracle shows more coherent and useful clues.
• Some puzzles have been tweaked.
• Several bugs have been fixed.
