DeadCore FAQ Please read it before posting. (Work in Progress in frenglish... sorry ^^)

[fabz]

Please keep in mind that this FAQ is a work in progress and we know that our english is not perfect, but we try our best. Thank you.

Concerning people who bought DeadCore on Alpha stage on Desura

So the v1.0 of the game is released now (hurray!) and it means 2 things:
- People that supported us during the alpha stage will get a (free) Steam key in addition of their Desura key (but we have to figure out with Desura on how to do that properly and sadly it is not as easy as it seems...).
- People that will buy the game NOW on Desura WON'T get a free Steam key as we have no way to provide more through Desura (sorry guys...).
That's pretty much all about it, thanks for your support so far, it means a lot to us small 'indies' ^^
Cheers!

Concerning the control

Does DeadCore support Gamepad?
There is no official support for gamepad, but we plan to add it in the future. It’s a lot of work because we need to make sure that menu navigation will be nice and that control feel smooth and intuitive.
However, we already try the game with JoyToKey and make some conclusive private and public test. So if you feel adventurous and want to try the game with your gamepad and JoyToKey, go ahead. We will try to post here some preset in a near feature.

Why can’t I bind “shift” as a valid input?
Honestly we don't know how we didn’t noticed it before, but we will try to correct that in a next update.

Why can’t I bind moving input on the mouse button?
Honestly we don't know how we didn’t noticed it before, but we will try to correct that in a next update.

Concerning game content

Does the OST is available?
Yes!
The OST is available on bandcamp here:
DeadCore OST [deadcore-ost.bandcamp.com]
We are currently seeing to have the OST available on Steam too.

Hey! I saw that particular crazy thing about the story and wand to discuss about it!
Yes you can, but if you feel you are going to spoil something, PLEASE warn people with a "Spoiler" in the Title.

When I finish the Story Mode, is there anything more to see?
The game feature a story mode, in which each level (except the first one) features at least two main paths, so you can play two time the story and go through a 75% different game if you choose each time a different path from your first run.

But even better!
In each story level, by collecting what we call "sparks", you can unlock new shortcuts in the current level. Each spark collected unlock a brand new level that you will find in the Speedrun menu!
Yeah that’s right! With 2 sparks in each story level to collect, it means that when you find all the sparks there is three time more levels to explore in speedrun mode than in story mode!

And guess what? There is also three extra levels made by our backers on a special event last year.

And there are of course collectibles (new abilities, boost, songs and logs) to find... And not counting that once you replay the first levels with the new abilities you earned in your first run, there might be some things to find and a huge amount of time to gain on the leaderboards.

If you enjoyed it, there are a lot of stuff to do inside the game past the first run in story mode... ;-)

I found an exploit or a way to broke the game, what should I do?
DeadCore main concept is about speed, challenge and of course leaderboards. The game was made by a very small team (5 people) and even with playing the game a lot (…and I mean a loooooooooooooot!) we could have easily stayed blind to some exploit.
We apologize for that, but please send us a mail to [e-mail] in which you explain the exploit you found or even better give us a video. It will be much appreciated and will help us keeping the game enjoyable for everybody. Thank you!

Concerning video setting

I have a powerfull PC but my framerate feel « low » even if I run the game easily over 60 fps.
It might be a Vsync issue. Try to select “custom” in the graphic setting, and set Vsync to On. If it Doesn’t work try to force Vsync using your graphic card driver (nvidia control panel or catalyst control)

Does DeadCore support Nvidia 3D Vision?
Right now no, if we have the time and the hardware to make the game compatible we will try to do it.
But feel free to try the Helixmod patch from http://helixmod.blogspot.fr/

Does DeadCore support Occulus Rift?
No. Damn we want an Occulus too and try to make an official support!
Well, like 3D vision if we find the time and the money, why not!

Does DeadCore support AMD Eyefinity and Nvidia Surround?
Right now no, but like very high resolution, we might try to fix that in a next update. Stay tuned.

My screen resolution seems to not be supported?
Sorry, if you use a brand new 21/9 screen we are not currently supporting this ratio.
People trying to run the game in 4K reported issues too.
We will try to fix that in a next update.

Concerning Let’s Play / Videos monetization

Can I monetize Let's Play videos of this game on YouTube/Twitch/etc...?
Yes! You're free to monetize your own videos that play, reference, or review the game.
Please note that if the video isn't about or doesn't reference our game ‘DeadCore’, you are not allowed to use any song from the game’s OST nor any other media from the game.
