Update 1.1: QOL Changes and Bug Fixes


After launching Any Direction Is Better Than Where You Stand Now, I've gotten a few reports of requested changes and bugs so Version 1.1 will address those.

When sprinting long distances you will now notice that this can be made easier by pressing the Tab key, which will initiate an auto-run until you press it again or continue walking with W. Also, so that you don't forget there has been a popup that will appear at an appropriate time informing you of the key to use. The same thing goes for the sprint function which can be accessed by pressing Shift. Now when leaving Lunaris for the first time you should be informed of the proper Sprint key. 

I've moved some quest log notes around in order to make the second main quest (fetching iron ore) less confusing. In addition to that, I've added some non-quest giving lines to Matheo that should help orient you in what to do next if you're confused. I also updated the side quest to recruit Ferran to make it a little more clear that it isn't necessary.

There was an issue when entering into dialogue windows where if you clicked anywhere that wasn't a dialogue box that the mouse cursor would go away and lock you into dialogue with no option of continuing. I've corrected this error and this should no longer be a problem.


Future updates I'd like to do to the game would be:

  • Adding a definitive non-destructive ending to Ferran's side quest
  • Add an indicator to differentiate between critical path quests and not
  • Get music to play on game load
  • Add more main quests, I'd ideally like it for the ship and launcher to slowly be appearing more and more over time
  • Add some form of collectable reward for exploring the map


For the time being, I will be leaving up the download for the original version of the game in case it's necessary for any Greenlight Jam reasons but if you can I highly recommend you to download and play version 1.1.


Thanks!
