Found a bug: While you're in the inventory, the game still runs but Val is impervious to damage. This can be used to cheese bosses by pausing, waiting for an opening, unpausing, attacking, and pausing again, repeating this until the enemy is dead. Might want to fix that.
I like this new version very much, even if I had to get used to the changes... If think I found a bug, when I kill the lake monster and I get back to Lauren I have the heart in my inventory but she keeps talking me as if I still had to slain the monster. Or am I doing something wrong? I'm playing from web.
No, that's just where the demo ends for the moment. Go to the training gym after getting all the achievements and there's slightly more, but for now that's all.
Hey, just a random question, but do we have an update on the next big update (for more story)? Totally understand if not, I'm just curious (mostly bc I'm really excited to see where it goes lol).
Hello, there is a glitch such that when I get on the train in the training gym, all the abilities I get are deleted (with my inventory being 'error). Further, when I try to go to the next station (the parkour course), I am stuck in an infinite loading screen.
The game is really fun, though! Wish listed already
Played both versions now and I can confidently say I am absolutely in love. Can't wait to see how this progresses and I'll be sure to show this off to the people I know. I love the story, the gameplay, the visuals, and the music.
(Somewhat related sidenote: my three favorite characters are the killbox, Tunnels Greg, and Steven, but Rob seems interesting and Lauren has a lot of potential judging by both versions. I loved the lil box dude in the non-phys version, it reminded me a little bit of claptrap and I laughed so hard reading it, Steven is amazing, and Tunnels Greg is also awesome).
As for feedback:
I feel like the combat is a bit lacking compared to the non-phys version but this is still quite new so I totally understand why, plus as I saw the main thing I was excited for I saw in another comment response is coming; aerial combos. Also, I will say it feels a lot less cheese-able in this version. Absolutely a step-up so far.
The momentum felt a little weird and threw off the combat for me a little because I was sliding way further than I expected, but that's a skill issue more than likely.
I can't really think of any other feedback, beyond saying that this story deserves a load of attention, it's already better than most triple A games I've played in the last few years! Keep up the genuinely awesome work! <3
P.S.
Take a break. Run to make a snack, hydrate yourself, and take a nap if you need one, if you've read this far. We all need basic self-care :3
Thanks, I'm so glad you liked it! Lauren's probably my favorite character in the game so far, I've got a lot planned for her and I think you can already see some of it in the ending sequence (go to the training gym, then take the subway to the highway terminal and go to the top level).
Oh, I can absolutely see it. She's not quite there for me, but like... Can you blame me? Tunnels Greg is such a funny lil guy lol. And yeah, I was about to go through the training gym stuff but got sidetracked lol.
I used a higher-res rig and then render everything to a low-res texture, then scale it up. The characters are high-res sorta-pixel art, and the backgrounds and almost everything else are hand-drawn. This post is sorta old and out of date, but it covers the basics: https://sevencrane.itch.io/vapor-trails/devlog/214252/tutorial-basic-skeletal-an...
Really enjoyed what I played of the demo, super fun platforming and combat and I ran into very few bugs with one exception
Possible Spoilers ahead:
I beat the Lady of the Lake and then proceeded forward, I ended up jumping off a cliff assuming that was the way forward and now I'm stuck falling forever

Same, Lauren just keeps denying heart in my inventory. I checked this issue exists in web and desk versions.

Hey, just a random question, but do we have an update on the next big update (for more story)? Totally understand if not, I'm just curious (
mostly bc I'm really excited to see where it goes lol).Just found a funny bug, I keep respawning in the Smoking Beast's battle place and he doesn't even do anything unless I go close to the door.
Still getting the save issue, even after the update, just an fyi.
Meant to add it after, but this is what I'm seeing when I open my inventory, all the achievements are gone too.
There was a different underlying issue, try now in the web build
Still the inventory bug occurs, how do i reach beta andromeda in the training gym?
Yep still broken! I tried using the sandbag to hit up there but it doesn't seem to be enough speed :(
game crashing, or just taking forever to load, when dying to lady of the lake
also lady of the lake is a nice step up in difficulty from the og, no longer easy to beat
huh weird, i'll look into it
also how do i get to the training gym in this new version
actually game won't reload after pruning a branch period
Fixed!

It's a save bug, I have the fix ready and will publish it this weekend. Thanks for playing!
thx!
fix is out

I have no clue why, but every time I go to HWT, I get progress reset while loading the Terminal, meaning I can't do anything there.
It's a save bug, I have the fix locally and will upload soon!
How do you know when to stop. Because when I start making games. I when too far. 😶
I like pixel art. But how did you make it look so cool? Did you use a non-pixel art rig and then use a shader, or use a pixel art rig?
I used a higher-res rig and then render everything to a low-res texture, then scale it up. The characters are high-res sorta-pixel art, and the backgrounds and almost everything else are hand-drawn. This post is sorta old and out of date, but it covers the basics:

And I am so confused of what is the last achievemet.
Oh and is this unity or godot (I see in the chat that you said you might import it to godot so I'm confused)????
It's a Unity game, although if I had to do it all over again I would use Godot or Unreal.
The last (secret) achievement you can only do in a new game - it involves getting an item before someone asks for it
So when will the "new game" be here?
The lantern pogo is cool! But how to I give the lady of the lake's heart to her.
It's not coded yet, sorry! Glad you like the lamps though.
I'm a fan of this game (Love the pixel art!). I always trying to make games like this. But didn't make it. Glad you do! 🙂

ha, whoops...forgot to close it off. Thanks for playing! I'll push another update soon.
