Patch notes are here[recourse.cloudsandblue.com]!

Hello everyone! ːsteamhappyː

The long awaited update has finally arrived!

Ever since we've released Recourse, we've been striving to improve ourselves as developers. We have invested a great deal of time, money and effort into developing new skills and experimented like there was no tomorrow. While creating this update, we challenged ourselves to turn everything we've learned into a new puzzle or gameplay mechanic and put it in Recourse without breaking the game.

It was very difficult, but we're finally here! We're really proud of how far we've come and hope that you'll enjoy the new additions to our little game.

There's so much to go through. We hope you have the time and patience to read them all. It couldn't fit here, so make sure to visit the link above.

Btw, we recommend starting a new game for the full experience. We don't want you to miss a single thing!

Enjoy!

Hello everyone,

This update introduces a new in-level progress save system to Recourse and a new setting to determine the maximum number of enemies that will be spawned in Payload and Wave Defense modes.

1) Improved Saves: We have created a new gate type named "fused gate" to replace many existing regular gates in the game. When you open a fused gate, its fuse will blow and it will start open in replays after that. This new system offers improvements on two fronts: i) it reduces or removes the need for backtracking and re-solving certain puzzles, and ii) it leaves the gate open but resets the puzzles, so you can experiment with different solutions where possible without having to worry about unlocking the door ahead.

This system replaces the old in-level progress system where the opening order and states of doors were determined by level-based unlockers. The new system will keep your old files and shouldn't affect your existing saves; however, all fused gates will start closed since the system cannot retrospectively detect which doors were opened before the update. You'll have to unlock them once but never again. It may be a bit cumbersome if you're used to the old system, but it's the only way to switch to a more intuitive and stable save system to keep track of your in-level progress.

2) "Maximum Enemies" setting: Some users may experience lowered frame rates or crashes when there are too many enemies in Payload and Wave Defense modes. This new setting allows you to experiment and pick the optimal number of enemies that is suitable for your system if you ever experience such problems.

This can also be thought as a difficulty setting as it sets the number of simultaneous enemies that can attack you.

Alternatively, you can set the number of enemies to "0" and explore the Payload and Wave Defense levels peacefully. We have increased the number of collectibles floating around to make sure you have enough points to unlock all areas of the level without having to eliminate any enemies.

This setting does NOT affect the number enemies that are spawned in puzzle levels or those that are already in the level when you enter, as there are very few existing simultaneously.


Happy puzzling,

Clouds and Blue Team

Three maps from the demo have been added to the game, introducing seven more achievements and an unlockable upgrade for Sleet’s holographic bubble shield which increases its duration and adds damage reflection. The upgrade automatically unlocks when you collect the 20 bubble pieces in these levels.

The puzzles leading to these pieces are a bit harder than those in the original game.

Have fun solving them all!

If you ever wished you could solve a ridiculous amount of puzzles using physics, fire, electricity, wind, sounds, colors, circuitry and much more, you’re in luck.

Recourse is 25% off, ending on May 31st.

Buy now and ride off to a glorious triple sunset on the back of a flying manta!

Hello everyone,

This update contains a lot of under-the-hood improvements to lay the groundwork for the upcoming free map packs. We have also launched recourse.cloudsandblue.com to serve mainly as a gameplay manual.

There is also a press kit page[recourse.cloudsandblue.com] providing resources such as logos, screenshots and media files for those interested.
  
• Save profiles have been converted to widgets that display your progress, collectibles and upgrades in the same place.
  
• Logic nodes have been updated to display the number of active incoming connections below the required connections text. They also more clearly indicate whether you should activate/deactivate more connections.
  
• Payload and wave rush levels have been modified to have points and other pick-ups placed in the levels for quicker progress.
  
• A few new dialogues were added.
  
• The demo has been updated in the same manner as well.
