Week 4 - Bugfixes & Content Updates

Fourth Time Around (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

A couple hundred downloads and a holiday season later, thanks so much to everyone who's played this weird little game. I'm hard at work with some polishing ahead of February Next Fest. In the meantime, some updates following the first month since launch.

BUGFIXES

  • Some further improvements to UI aspect ratio/robustness
  • Further improvements for dialogue finickiness, especially w.r.t. scene transitions (believe there may still be some work to do here)
  • Balanced audio volume a bit in certain places following streamer feedback
  • Improved responsiveness of the gun. Previously, firing the gun required a somewhat long mouse click (around 0.2 second hold); the intent was to add some weight to the feel of the gun, but the actual effect was that some players simply thought the game was bugged when short, rapid clicks did not prompt the gun to fire.

CONTENT

  • Added warning about changing aspect ratio to intro notes.
