WE FOUND THE KEYS TO THE HOUSE!

Jokes aside, thank you so much for the wait! I’ve been busy rewriting the story of JKR and that’s gonna keep me busy for a while, but we’re back to actively working on the game, and this small lil update is proof! :D

Key Changes

COLOR ADJUSTMENT

You can adjust certain game colors in the Settings menu.

This one has been on my Trello for… uhh, I dunno actually. Let me check real qui–

Uh. Awkward.

…well, it’s here now! The “Colorblind Correction” filters we had before weren’t all that useful (it was made especially clear when Accessibility specialist Ian Hamilton called us on it). It’s more for detecting contrast issues rather than actually HELPING with perceiving color info. These filters have now been completely stripped from the game.

Instead, in the Accessibility settings, you can just simply adjust the colors of gameplay elements to your liking! This is strictly for UI elements for now, but with future updates, we will add more things you can customize in the game :D

A LOT OF UI UPDATES

Upgrades / Settings UI

A lot of changes were also made to the Upgrades / Settings UI! Tutorials, icons, splitting into groups, new settings, etc. Some very neat QoL stuff :)

BTS ADJUSTMENTS

More secretly, a lot of changes has been made to the Saving System and the way we make game builds, both to make things more efficient and smaller, and also to accommodate new and future features.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Playing the game with a Switch Pro controller may lead to issues controlling the player's character. This is seemingly an issue with the Unity Input System, and sadly out of our control.
• Playing the game with a Dualshock 4 controller, or playing on a Steam Deck while having a keyboard connected, may lead to issues involving controlling the game with the Keyboard itself. This is also potentially an issue with the Unity Input System, which is beyond our control.
• Parts of the game might appear in pink. This is caused by shader stripping and will be ironed out with future patches.

  • Hotfix releases mostly include quality-of-life changes or fixes to other bugs and issues.
