In this update, we have focused on adapting the game to new operating systems and controlling it from various input devices, as well as optimizing and improving many aspects of the game. This is a major technical advancement for NLY, which will strengthen the foundation of the game and allow many travelers to join the YJ universe!

📣 What's new?

+ Android and Linux

The game is now available for four systems, including Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.

Controls

The input system has been completely updated:

  • The input reading system has been optimized
  • The system has become more responsive
  • Adaptation for keyboards, most types of gamepads, and any touch input
  • The somersault is now activated by pressing the Ctrl key instead of double-tapping in the direction

The input system dynamically changes depending on the input device on any system!

Settings

Three new settings have been added to improve graphics or optimize them for weaker devices:

  • Upscaling (FSR) rendering for optimization on weaker devices
  • HDR mode, which processes and outputs the image in an increased color range, eliminating stepped gradients and increasing contrast
  • Clear light makes the light clearer and improves light overlay

The control menu has been updated.

Adaptation for mobile devices

  • Gyroscope affects the parallax effect in the main menu
  • Other technical adaptations of scripts and objects

And also

  • Adaptation of snow particles to screen size
  • Smooth camera transition when exiting H-scenes
  • The exposure and intensity of static shadows have been changed
  • Improved main menu and level backgrounds
  • Moon added!

Fixes

  • Bug with incorrect appearance of the slider for zooming in on the camera during a repeat H-scene
  • Bug with incorrect damage calculations during H-scenes (damage was counted as 1 out of 3 for stunning Yoki)
  • Bug causing Yoki to freeze during shield activation
  • And other fixes
