Hello everyone! This update we're introducing an objective app, improvements to character movement, QOL, and fixes!
Objective App
Within the tablet you'll now find the objective app, a new way to interact with the investigation. Included are two questions related to the case, and two research objectives. The old questions app has been replaced by this new system, and the evidence app has been moved back to the home screen of the tablet.
The answers to both case questions can be found within clues in the investigation app. Research objectives require gathering evidence with specific equipment.
As of now all objectives will be the same each case, in the near future we plan on creating a pool of objectives that are randomized each time a new case is started.
Improvements and Quality of Life
A number of improvements have been made such as:
- Movement can now be controlled mid-air. This should make jumping sections of the game feel better.
- Headbob has been adjusted so held items aren't bouncing everywhere.
- The ritual book now has a new held position that looks better, and shows the front of the book.
- Steep slopes, and small furniture is now less likely to cause the player to step up on it when walking by.
- The health monitor app will now display if a player is dead. New animations have also been added to each stat.
- Players no longer get stuck falling off of a ledge when crouched.
