We Do A Little Patching...


Here-ye, Here-ye. It's me, Mediasaur. Almost a year ago now I created this game for the Brackeys 2022.2 game jam. There were a lot of areas that were lacking and objectives that weren't clear to players. I promised I'd fix the worst of the game and obviously, that took longer than it should have. I'm still going hard on VRChat and games development, but only recently have I reached a point where I am ready to dive back into old projects. I've basically told myself that I'm tired of starting project that I give up on within a week, so ~I'm taking the baby steps to being more committed which should equal more content at higher rates. After all, there's nothing I enjoy more than making games.

So, here are some of the changes I've made that should make this game look a little better on my portfolio.

15/06/2023:

- Added outlines to objects related to active objectives to minimise confusion as to what the player should do next.

- Adjusted position of note in kitchen to be more readable. (Just ignore the dialogue inconsistency.)

- Fixed player movement so that diagonal movement does not make the player faster than they should be.

- Updated most of the models to higher-poly PBR models.

- Added a Retro Bleed effect that can be disabled from the pause menu.

- House is now a bit more densely decorated.

- Added a global room tone sound so it should never be totally silent.

- Lighting is now handled with Bakery so the shadow quality is much higher.

- Zoom is now fluid rather than static and is a lot less jarring.

- Door behaviour should be less fucky.

- MacOS support [DISACLAIMER: I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT ACTUALLY WORKS AS I HAVE NO MEANS OF TESTING IT.]

- Added a new, secret ending for those keen enough to find it...

And that's it! Not a lot has changed, still the same game at the core, and it may be that I update it once again some day. However, I just wanted to take care of the things that were hurting the game most. Love you guys, so excited to keep learning and making new things for the community. Stay bonerific, people.
