Good news Darkside detectives, we've pushed an update to The Darkside Detective!
As you may be aware, we recently released The Darkside Detective on new platforms (e.g. Xbox, PS4, PS5 & Stadia), as well as a sequel called The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark (which is also available on Xbox, PS4, PS5, Switch and Stadia) and as part of that development process, we made a bunch of improvements for stability and performance to the framework we've built for the Darkside series. Now that the game has been out and stable on multiple platforms, we're delighted to bring all that work to the original game.
If you've had a fairly frictionless experience playing The Darkside Detective, you shouldn't notice much new, but over the few years the game has been out, some people have experienced bugs, and this new version should address those issues.
A complete changelist is:
- More stable save system, fixed many of the issues that in a small number of cases caused issues with saves becoming corrupted
- Added the option to save during gameplay
- Added gamepad control remapping
- Miscellaneous small gameplay fixes and visual improvements
- Improved performance
- Modernised architecture to improve maintainability
- Fixed gating issues in the bonus cases
Many thanks to the members on our Discord who helped us test and bug-fix this version before it went live. If you run into any issues at all, please visit support.spookydoorway.com and we'll try to get you back up and running.
