The next official demos (including this one) will only provide bug fixes and graphics\/sound\/music enhancement. I now focus my work on adding levels and quests for the final release, which won&#8217;t be visible in this demo (especially new content).<\/p>\n<p>The main new things I&#8217;ve done since July 2015 are:<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\n<\/b><b>Content <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 new boss: the Robot Kraken<\/li>\n<li>Chapter 2 is now fully playable, including 2 dojos, 2 missions and 1 additional quest. Not everything is perfect yet, but at least, it&#8217;s playable! It&#8217;s more or less 1h30 of gameplay.<\/li>\n<li>New chapter title screens<\/li>\n<li>More ill animals on Zephyr Island and Eagle Island<\/li>\n<li>Enemy state (KO) is now saved<\/li>\n<li>Finally a trailer for the game! Check it out on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneiricworlds.com\/\">official website<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>More cutscenes are skippable<\/li>\n<li>The map now has a legend<\/li>\n<li>1 new level: the Governor&#8217;s villa, fully playable, but still lacks lot of graphics.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of new assets: spider webs, marble pilars, windows, carpets, furniture, cardboard boxes, shelves, chairs, tables, maple trees &#8230; and as usual, wood crates of course.<\/li>\n<li>The mouse is more sensitive now<\/li>\n<li>Shorter delay before magnetic gauntlet reloads<\/li>\n<li>Full new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneiricworlds.com\/\">official website<\/a> for the game with a clearer information display, in English and in French + updated portfolio<\/li>\n<li>The game should now be compatible with 20+ classical joypads, including Xbox 360 pads. Sadly, this new update removes the possibility to change controls, at least for this release. I&#8217;ll add a configuration screen later.<\/li>\n<li>New screenshot feature capturing images up to 12000 x 9000 px (just for me \ud83d\ude09 ). I use it to get graphical material for huge posters (yes I&#8217;m preparing for the Toulouse Game Show&#8230;)<\/li>\n<li>New option to invert the camera Y axis<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;New game&#8221; available from the in-game menu<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;A Thief Melody&#8221; becomes &#8220;A Thief&#8217;s Melody&#8221;, because it was a mistake from me&#8230; Thanks to everybody who notified me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Code &amp; optimisation <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fix calling turtle in closed water zones<\/li>\n<li>Optimisation of the mines level<\/li>\n<li>Lots of bug fixes on the climbing system<\/li>\n<li>Bug fix of the hero walking on jars when attacking<\/li>\n<li>Better fog rendering in the main menu<\/li>\n<li>Fixes on available action during tutorials<\/li>\n<li>Lots lots lots of various bug fixes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s broken ?<\/h3>\n<p>You didn&#8217;t expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I&#8217;m aware of a few bugs\/regressions\/problems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You can&#8217;t change the default controls (because of the newly supported joypads). I plan to add a configuration screen later. If you try to change the controls in the popup screen appearing at the start of the game, you might totally break joypad support.<\/li>\n<li>Joypads work, but the UI help is still designed for keyboard\/mouse. So&#8230; just test buttons if you want to play on the joypad!<\/li>\n<li>The mouse wheel behaves weirdly in the map. Prefer the keyboard or joypad for zoom.<\/li>\n<li>Some shaders don&#8217;t work correctly on Linux and MacOS, among which the tree rendering.<\/li>\n<li>Environments are still a bit empty<\/li>\n<li>Some sounds must be re-designed<\/li>\n<li>The game lacks some music\/sounds<\/li>\n<li>Some camera moves are a bit harsh\/weird<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Controls<\/h3>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-q9wkNK3jpy0\/VjN1P_sb-5I\/AAAAAAAAJhc\/g6CQyJVi-QY\/s1600\/controlsEN.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: #404040;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-q9wkNK3jpy0\/VjN1P_sb-5I\/AAAAAAAAJhc\/g6CQyJVi-QY\/s640\/controlsEN.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"212\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Have fun!
