Good news! TYPECAST is now Steam Deck verified! You can finally play this game, which has TYPE in the title, which was originally designed to be played with a full keyboard, with full gamepad support and exactly 0 typing! Wow! To celebrate this mild achievement I have discounted the game by 75% for the next week. Please enjoy. Please make several purchases for yourself, your friends, and your e…
Hey sorry I was gone so long. Life sucked for a little bit, not that it's an excuse to not update (or even really look at) the game you fine folks have purchased (or considered purchasing (purchase it (now))). Here are some bug fixes. - Fixed Steam leaderboards. These work again. Sorry about that. - Fixed some bugs with text being drawn on top of other text in some option menus. - Fixed some bu…
TYPECAST has been localized to the following languages, along with the Steam page itself. · Spanish (latam) · Portuguese (Brazil) · German · French · Simplified Chinese · Traditional Chinese · Japanese · Korean One thing to note is that the glyphs the player has to type while playing are still displayed with the English alphabet.
Small update. Nothing to write home about, really. You can if you want to though. Not sure your mom will care but tell her I said hi anyway. · Added 5x and 6x scaling options in the menu. · Fixed bug with UI scaling not matching the game scaling. · Added a gamepad focused tutorial if your input method is set to gamepad. · Added links to the main menu for my Discord, and shamelessly asking you t…
Hello. I took some time off for the holidays and then I lost all motivation to do anything then I kept getting sick and my wife got sick and my son was sick and everyone was sick for like two weeks and it sucked. Anyway, here is a little update. Fixes · Fixed bug with some enemies having incorrect shoot buttons assigned to them when using gamepad. · Fixed goofy menu behaviors when changing scre…
I added pad support. It's pretty fun. Harder and easier in its own way. I THINK that KBM players will still outclass pad players by a lot, but I'm not totally sure. If that is the case I will implement a gamepad only leaderboard. I didn't add a tutorial that covers pad controls, but I will. Until then y'all will figure it out, I'm sure. Or not. Whatever. · Added a new control settings menu to t…
Howdy, I added pad support, and a beta branch that is available to anyone, so you can check it out. It's not totally finished yet, and some things don't work, but I've called that out below. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Additions · Added a new control settings menu to the options menu. · Added gamepad support. Includes support for Michaelsoft, Sunny, and Pretendo button layouts. · Added an…
Fixed a bug with the "Gay Paris" achievement. It was resetting your parry count every run, but now its not. Yay. · Started working on gamepad / steam deck support. Nothing is in game but I wanted you all to know.
A few people have asked why I allow you to go behind the UI. Sometimes people think its a bug. Most of the time people have a negative response to it, which I always find surprising. Personally I feel that this is a non issue, and is actually pretty cool. I could be convinced otherwise, so let's talk about it. WHY can you go behind the UI? There are a few reasons, all of which come down to game…
Fixed a bug where the game would CRASH if you happened to die while a particular enemy was on screen. So dumb. · Fixed a bug where, when looping, one of the newly spawned enemies in the new loop wouldn't be able to be shot. Also so dumb. · Fixed a bug where, when pausing, the enemy spawn timers would COMPLETELY RESET. Maybe the dumbest thing. I'm going to bed. Please leave a review if you haven…
After getting a few requests I decided to add a pause menu. You may be thinking "what kind of moron would make a game without a pause menu?". I'm that moron, but let me explain. I wanted to avoid situations where players could pause the game, and see all of the letters on screen, and effectively cheat, and I thought the runs would be short enough for most players to not really need a pause func…
Fixed bug where you could take damage as soon as the run started. · Fixed bug with hovering enemies where their z position would get messed up during slowmo. · Fixed bug where Steam screenshots didn't work. · Added version number to main menu. · Yelled at God for not putting TYPECAST on the New and Trending section of the Steam front page. · God remains silent, per usual. · Added COLEMAK keyboa…

Whoever invented achievements is a jerk. · Fixed screenshake toggle not working in the options menu. · Fixed an issue where you couldn't loop after killing the final boss in certain circumstances. · Fixed a bug where the Power Meter was s…
Fixed a bug where Bomb Rats explosions couldn't kill you. · Fixed bugs with various achievements. · Fixed bug where gems couldn't reach the player if the player was too close to the edge of the screen. · Fixed bug where, when parrying the projectile of a dead enemy, the game would crash.
