The Dawning Clocks Of Time - Director's Cut · published · build 26268512
Version 8.0 brings The Dawning Clocks of Time – Director’s Cut to Unity, powered by Spacefarer Retro Engine. This major update refreshes the way you experience the game, with widescreen presentation, redesigned settings, new visual options, and more convenient ways to play.
16:10 widescreen support, with letterboxing where needed to preserve the picture.
A redesigned interface with cyan accents, sci-fi icons, and the Dawning Rune.
Updated splash artwork and a new Spacefarer intro video.
Smooth transitions when starting the game and opening or closing settings.
A cleaner top bar displaying the full game title.
Open settings with F1 or controller Start. Adjust controls, graphics, sound, and gameplay options without leaving the game. Panels fade smoothly into view while the game frame gently resizes around them. Hide the top bar for a clearer view, then move your mouse to the top edge to reveal it again.
Choose soft bloom for a gentle glow, CRT styling with subtle curvature and scanlines, or subtle film grain for a more cinematic finish. Each effect can be switched on or off independently. Adjust the picture while keeping your adventure in view.
The normal save system remains available alongside save states.
2× fast forward: toggle faster gameplay with F2 or through settings.
Save states with screenshot previews: save and restore supported moments from the overlay.
Contextual menu tips: hold Shift or the controller’s West face button to display available help.
Disable tips in settings if you prefer. Their indicator stays in a consistent position.
Existing saves from supported earlier installations are imported automatically when found.
Screenshot previews help you recognise your saved moments.
The Game tab includes the battle and gameplay settings previously found in the System screen. Sound controls provide separate adjustments for music, background sounds, and sound effects. Map effects, HERE markers, and ATB Wait are enabled by default for new settings profiles.
Improved menu text fitting and spacing.
Restored the main menu’s full command list without unnecessary scrolling.
Fixed unwanted tile outlines appearing over parallax maps.
Fixed title-screen settings returning to the pre-title sequence.
