Patch notes 17/7/25

Hi there! After resting for a week we are right back at it! This is a new patch for the demo!

This patch consists on bug fixing and improving translation for the most part.

Controls:

  • Now if you play with a controller, you can use the D-Pad to play with tank controls or joystick for modern controls. For mouse and keyboard players: you need to change it on the options menu.

  • Now there is a button on the options menu that lets you reset to default inputs.

  • You could not pull out the matches with keyboard and mouse pressing 1. It was set to the numpad 1. Now it works. In Godot "key_1" and "1" are not the same thing hehe.

  • You could store the matches while holding them out. Not anymore.

UI:

  • Some players had a hard time seeing the "hold to exit" progress bar on the matches pamphlet. Changed the color from white to yellow.

  • Sometimes the matches UI didn't reappear after a dialogue. Now it always comes back.

Audio:

  • Some sounds sounded harsh. I lowered them. I hope they are not too loud anymore. I may have to tweak them again. sorgy... :(

Vending machine:

  • You could have infinite juice boxes. Not anymore. Miauguel doesn't deserve those kind of luxuries.

Cameras:

  • Sometimes the main camera changed to other random position. It shouldn't happen anymore, but I have to make a better job preventing this.

Inventory:

  • There was a bug that crashed the game when combining two items with the mouse doing a certain movement. No more.

English translation:

  • fearmongrel (https://x.com/FearMongrel) offered to do proofreading of the english dialogues! They are good. He is good.

Gameplay:

  • You could not restart the game correctly without restarting the app itself. Now you should be able to restart the game from the menu.

  • When dying you kept some random items. You should have the items you had when using the vending machine.

  • You could get stuck on some chairs and softblock yourself. Not anymore.

  • Fixed a blindspot between two cameras near the vending machine.

Known bugs (not fixed yet):

  • After using the vending machine Miauguel should sit down. He sometimes still refuses so sit down so this is a yet to fix bug but it's better than before.

  • Sometimes when going back to the main menu, it shows a black screen. I couldn't reproduce this error so I have to fix it in the next patches.

  • Sometimes, when tired, the input for the matches gets weird. I will fix this in the next patch.

Thank you so much to our Discord server members for helping finding those bugs!

Also thank you to all the people in the Steam community for the same thing :p

If you find another bug, please let us know in a review, Discord o Steam Discussion! Thank you!
