Install Notes<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Linux<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Under Linux, you have to change the execution rights on the game file:
    \nchmod +x aThiefsMelody.*<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Mac OS<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Haha… I didn’t test on Mac, because I don’t have a Mac. But the beauty of Unity is that I can release on Mac from a Windows\/Linux system anyway.
      \nSo, if Mac users out there want to give it a try and tell me what’s wrong (or what’s right, hopefully \ud83d\ude09 ), you’re most welcome!<\/p>\n

      What’s new since the last demo?<\/h3>\n

      You have to know the demo quests are more or less final at the moment. The next official demos (including this one) will only provide bug fixes and graphics\/sound\/music enhancement.<\/p>\n

      Since December 2018, lots of improvements have been done:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Fix big crashes mainly after Bo Dojo<\/li>\n
      • Better animation timing and reactivity for enemies<\/li>\n
      • Better fight behavior for enemies<\/li>\n
      • Minor hero tweaks: texture, death animation, zen animation<\/li>\n
      • Now the hero meditates when we do nothing for a while<\/li>\n
      • The camera automatically follows the character. Much easier to play with a joypad now!<\/li>\n
      • Addition of a game over screen<\/li>\n
      • Creation of a procedural shader for foam rendering<\/li>\n
      • Foam around all islands<\/li>\n
      • Graphical polish in the Bo Dojo (stones, ivy, plants, …)<\/li>\n
      • Graphical polish in Water Dojo (water foam, water splashes, fireflies, ligthing, fog, heavy vegetation, breaking blocks, stones, cracks, statues…)<\/li>\n
      • Graphical polish for Aqualums Island (grass, flowers, fog…)<\/li>\n
      • Gameplay bug fixes in Water Dojo<\/li>\n
      • Redesign of some pickable items (maps & paintings)<\/li>\n
      • Minor UI fixes (swim force now displayed, avatars of NPC, …)<\/li>\n
      • Many minor bug fixes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

        What’s broken ?<\/h3>\n

        You didn’t expect everything to work perfectly, did you? I’m aware of a few bugs\/regressions\/problems:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Controls are displayed in English, whatever language you choose.<\/li>\n
        • Spanish is not implemented yet (even if it is choosable in the options)<\/li>\n
        • Some assets still need work to be done or polished (Audio, Graphics, UI, Dialogs, …)<\/li>\n
        • Some areas are still a bit empty<\/li>\n
        • The game seems a bit dark on some devices, especially with high quality graphics that handle shadow casting. It might be some gamma issue, I’ll have to check this out.<\/li>\n
        • Under Linux, it seems the keyboard controls sometimes get “stuck” for a few seconds… I know it’s a crazy thing to say, but it might work better with a Xbox controller :p<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Have fun! Peace!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
