GRAPHIC SETTINGS & ACCESSIBILITY UPDATE

major update

BLACKSHARD · build 18128877 · published

On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Hi everyone!

The big day has come, the full Graphics Settings and Accessibility menus are finally here!
Here are some screenshots of what you can use from now on in the game. Thanks for your patience. We hope that more people will be able to access the game and enjoy it in the best conditions possible!

Regarding the Unreal Crash, it's a hard one, investigation still in progress. We are left, for now, with these three interchangeable and/or complementary solutions:
• Update the graphics card drivers

• Reinstalling the game seems to be enough and does not lose the savegame (tested and approved in yesterday's stream)

• Try Directx11 / 12, a bit more technical and less comfortable for the game's performance.

The jump section on pyramidal plateforms at the edge of the Convergence Zone has been completely reworked! It was too difficult, too poorly lit and deceptive in relation to what I wanted, and frustrated a lot of people. It's fixed!

The full BLACKSHARD OST composed by ALT236 and AL9000 is now available everywhere! Spotify, Deezer, Bandcamp etc! You can listen to it, buy it, listen to it again and share it, we are really happy about it and this collaboration has been a blast for us. A vinyl is in the works at Frozen Records, we'll talk about it soon.

Next, we're working on a full key rebind menu. Our dear ultra-tech Dev will be travelling from tomorrow to visit me in France before we head back to his home in Hungary together. I'll be there for a month, in his place in the countryside, so the work and creative emulation will be at their peak! We will complete the purely technical work on BLACKSHARD together, and then it will be time to tell you what we have planned for the future of the game and of the ENCLAVE collective.

I would like to take this opportunity to wave at the people who have (rightfully) posted negative reviews solely regarding the lack of graphics options, FOV, motion sickness, etc. If this major update addresses your concerns so you can finally play and enjoy the game, please consider supporting us by changing your review! We are fighting the Steam algorithm like all indies, every little gesture is welcome and helps us promote the game and look to the future.

And for everyone else, that's fine too! A comment with a smiley is already a nice gift <3. We love reading your reviews, they are really groovy, poetic even for some. Thanks, a lot.

We'll also continue to post webcomics on the Enclave website :

Until the next news, take care.
