Version 1.5 released! New content + QoL changes


The UX update 1.5 has been released!

Hi! This new update has a lot of improvements to the user experience. A lot of bugs and other clunky stuff has been fixed, and on top of that, many new features have been added!

Features:

These do not differ much from the initial announcement.

1. New content!

Some new content, like the new beginning of the game, has been added! While it doesn't include chapter 2, there are some new secret areas for you to find in this update!

2. 16:9 support

This is definitely the biggest change you'll see. I've ported the game from 4:3 to 16:9 to make it better on modern monitors. The game is only
going to support 16:9 from now on, due to it being too hard to maintain 4:3 support too.

3. Improved UI

The UI is now consistent everywhere. The menus, title screen, battle system, text box and everything has been updated to follow the new UI guidelines! A lot of animations have been added too.

4. Improved battle system


Some updates have been made to the battle system as well, featuring a combo system, new animations, and improvements to the dodge system. These changes will make the fighting experience much more fun! On top of that, the enemies have been balanced.

5. Other smaller (but not unimportant!) stuff

The graphics got a noticeable upgrade. They are much sharper than before! The soundtrack got a few updates, with one new, one remade and one improved song. On top of that, some optimizations have been made under the hood that will provide a faster and stabler, less buggy experience. There's been stuff done for easier and faster developing too.

There are a lot more minor improvements and/or fixes, but those aren't worth mentioning.

Q&A

Are the saves compatible with the new version?

Unfortunately no. The game has got so many changes that some things will be broken beyond playable in the upcoming update. You can keep playing with your old saves on the old version, or you can start from the beginning.

I don't like the new stuff. Can I revert to the old version?

Sure! You can download the old version either by entering the beta 1.0.1 from Steam or downloading the old version from Itch or Gamejolt to keep using this version.

Is chapter 2 be released?

Nope. Chapter 2 will be released with rest of the chapters in the future. The release date is still TBD and will take a few years at least.

Is Ralph featured in this update?

Yes? No? Maybe????


That's all for now.
