Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your support and feedback on the demo! Today's update adds a How to Play guide and Interface settings, redesigns the audio bar, and tweaks a number of smaller details. Here's what's new:
New
- How to Play: the first time you start the game, a short guide explains how the story advances and how outfits are unlocked. You can view it again anytime in Settings → Help.
- Interface settings page: use "Background dimming" to adjust how much the scene darkens behind an open panel, or turn dimming off entirely.
- Added an "Add to Wishlist on Steam" button to the main screen. Click it to open the store page (demo only).
Improvements
- Redesigned audio bar: ambience and music now have separate sections, with tooltips on hover and one-click access to the ambience and music libraries.
- Removed the "Details" hint from the ambience panel, which made it look clickable when it wasn't.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed several issues, including incorrect color on the translucent part of the school bag, unsaved drafts being overwritten after editing an Inspiration entry, and the wrong display mode on launch.
This update does not affect your existing focus records, plans or game progress.
Ripple Lane 101: Moments With You will be taking part in Steam Next Fest starting October 19. Come try the demo, and add the game to your wishlist if you haven't already! If you run into any issues, let us know on the Steam Community or Discord.
