Hey Guys!
Build 1.55 just went live! This is the build we'll submit to Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft for [b]OUTBUDDIES[/b]' console ports. Those still need some tweaking and QA but they're not far away anymore!
I would call this build the definitive edition of [b]OUTBUDDIES[/b], as finally, five months after the game's release last year, the experience is exactly where I wanted it to be. You guys helped me so much with this and I cannot thank you enough for your ongoing encouragement and support.
Here's the change-log:
[h1]Features[/h1][list][*] New final scene added to the staff roll
[*] HUD elements polish, especially the equipment screens and boss rush menu
[*] Rework of Buddy‘s scanning ability, new icon elements, graphics, and sound FX:

[*] Wozan now speak a little gibberish
[*] New prompts giving clues on how to handle the game‘s more obscure bosses
[*] Full visual rework of the last two bosses Nocturne and Xion:

[*] New idle stance for the player sprite as well as some minor other tweaks
[/list]
[h1]Design Fixes[/h1][list][*] Optional mechanism in the Buluc boss room to tune down his difficulty
[*] Bosses will expose CoOp specific weak spots only on actual CoOp, as doing this on single-player confused some players.
[*] Shooting and Charge-Shooting directly after a double jump or wall jump is easier now
[*] Buddy can now accelerate by holding the run button LT, due to a legacy issue this was only possible with LB in previous builds
[*] Rebalanced the volume of some clipping sound FX
[*] Rework of the game‘s map, now showing all connections between rooms
[/list]
[h1]Bugs[/h1][list][*] The menu cursor could move out of place in rare circumstances
[*] Fixed a possible soft lock in the transition between lower mines and the Cenote area
[*] Holding the run button on gamepads blocked activating some facilities and speaking to Wozan
[/list]
For the game‘s console release, we‘ll probably also do a rebranding on Steam, but that‘s not finally decided yet. Trading cards will be a thing for sure!
I wish you all the best and I hope you all take care during the pandemic! ❤️
Best,
Julian
