Hello!

Not too long to go until launch now (August 6th!), but thought it was worth pushing up a few more demo tweaks and fixes before then.

If you have any feedback, thoughts or requests based on the current demo (or upcoming full game), feel free to post them up on Steam or on our Discord! We are at your service.

What's new in 1.2.15?

- Music update! Madwreck has been cooking up v2 versions of the songs featured the demo, and these are now in the game. The soundtrack is shaping up to very special indeed.

- The first batch of custom user submitted rejection messages are in! There's some great ones in there; thank you to those who have submitted. You can still submit those by clicking the link on the main menu.

- Completion times for clues vs no-clues runs are now split out into their own rankings.

- Added an acknowledgement screen if you manage to go on all of the post-completion landmark requests.

- Updated D-pad flight controls: up/down controls altitude, and left/right steers. Steam Deck trackpads are also now supported as an input.

- Improved Steam Deck detection, including while docked, so appropriate graphics defaults are applied. This should improve performance on Deck.

- Area name notifications are now gentler and less frequent.

- Some tweaks and bugfixes to the city % percentage completion and clue direction accuracy.

- Various other controller, UI and presentation fixes that are too small to mention.

Thank you for playing!

Hello!

Version 1.2 of the demo is now live. It features a whole host of tweaks and improvements, many of them inspired by player feedback -- a sincere thank you to everyone who has tried the game so far. The full game will launch on August 6th. Until then, here's what's new in the demo:

Steam fixes

- Steam Overlay now works!

- Steam Input now works! This makes things like layout remapping easier for controller (and Steam Deck) players.

Gameplay - Small clue rework; useful clues now appear a little more frequently than less useful ones (the general words of encouragement).

- A new rare "seed cluster" pickup, for bigger coo boosts when there are no landmarks nearby.

- After completing the game, clues are now repurposed to guide you towards undiscovered landmarks.

Controls

- Controls are now fully remappable in the settings menu for keyboard+mouse players, too.

- Barrel roll! A new special move. Double tap in either direction to try it out.

- You can now change altitude with the scroll wheel, or with E/Q (rooftop landing has moved to F).

- Keyboard controls now automatically adapt to non-QWERTY layouts.

Multiplayer

- Lots of general bugfixes and improvements here! It now feels closer in quality to the single player game.

- Other players now animate fully, so things feel more dynamic.

- Fixed bugs that let the other player drift out of view when they change altitude.

- Wind direction now syncs across players, to keep things fair!

Other

- Added Russian localization! With many thanks to Headbomb for making this happen.

- Small visual tweaks: area names now appear on the map, and building textures have been refined.

- Improvements to building collision detection! This is now both lighter and more accurate.

- Many other performance improvements and bugfixes which are too small to mention, but important all the same.

Have a nice flight!
