Redox wins at story & Hotfix #1 released

Hey, Decobird again! 

Two things from me, one about the game jam and the other about the latest hotfix!

Redox is 1st in story!

The period for rating submissions of the Indie Horror Community Game Jam is complete! Thank you to everyone who gave Redox a try and gave it a rating, it was heartwarming hearing everyone’s reactions! 

Out of eight submissions, we came overall third after a joint first, and the winner in story! Everybody say thank you Morodoll for a brilliant script ♥

Of course, that wasn’t the only time you can give us feedback on the game, please feel free to post a comment on the Itch page letting us know what you think! Leaving comments helps support small Itch games like ours a tonne as people love to hear what the community thinks before they try, so why not do your bit to grow the Redox community!

Hotfix #1 is live!

Now that the rating window is over, it means I can update the game!

These all are bug fixes, mainly relating to the issue I spoke about in the last post about progression breaking if you exit or finish the game and load a previous save. 

Here’s the whole list:

Hotfix #1 changelog:

• Fixed numerous issues where quitting to the menu and reloading a save would break progression
• Inspecting something near the end of the game is now a lot easier
• Added talksprites to dialogue that should have one
• Fixed inconsistencies between the same locations at the start and end
• Optimised save size
• Fixed issue where saving and loading after asking Ewan to follow you would cause him to not appear
• Fixed issue where interacting with the door in the bedroom will trigger the wrong dialogue
• Fixed issue where sometimes Cara can’t walk past a certain point in the apartment, stopping them from progressing
• Fixed instances of characters looking the wrong way in cutscenes.

As always, if you encounter any other bugs or issues, feel free to email me, dm me on Bluesky or send me an ask on Tumblr. I would say not to send a comment on Itch as it’s not the best at telling me when new comments come in.

Thank you everyone for playing the game and giving us feedback, your support is the wind under our wings ♥

Thanks for reading,

Decobird
