I have a question

[duong4m]

So, i have read many wonderful reviews for this game, many said that this game's greatest mechanic is the hearing and you will need it to keep yourself safe. But the thing is i have a problem with my hearing, one of my ears is not working, will i be still able to enjoy the game regardless?

Hi duong4m! Thank you for your question. Hearing is essential at the moment, but you know, now that I have heard about your circumstance, I want to do something about it.

What I might do is add an optional feature where sounds appear as ripples on your left/right as indicators. Would that be cool with you? Hope you can let me know. If so, please stick around so I can announce when this feature goes live.

Thank you !

Thank you for your concern. I'd say it would be cool, but really you don't need to think about it too much, I enjoy watching let's play as much as i like playing the game myself. If the game itself is good (which is likely), i will definitely make sure to support it, no worries.

In fact, i will buy the game now just for your kindness and dedication toward the game and its community

Thank you for your support duong4m ! Maybe don't play the game yet. Let me see if I can add those ripples in. If not this weekend, then hopefully sometime next week. Thanks!

Hello again duong4m . I have pushed an update just now with a new visual guide feature for audio cues (enemy footsteps and pants).

In the menu screen (Clea on a swing), type 0011. You will hear a chime to indicate this new mode is now active (re-type to turn it off). The config is stored in your save data, so no need to re-type when you open the game again.

When this feature on, whenever an enemy takes a step or pants, you will see a red indicator to your left or right, depending on where the sound is from. The louder the noise, the bigger the red flash.

Please note at the moment, there are unfortunately some occasions when the indicators may appear on the wrong side. This only happens when you are extremely close to the enemy, but you are in different areas. There is an inaccuracy with the direction calculation because the widths of your area and the enemy's area are different. Hopefully this will not hamper the experience. If it does, happy to discuss further.

I am not sure if the indicators will become too "in your face". Maybe you will end up preferring to play with it off, even. Happy to hear your thoughts and continue from there.

And, of course, if you spot any general bugs, please let me know. Always a bit scary to push new features.

Thank you !
