Demo Update: More Comfortable Controls & Brighter Nights

Seashell Hoarder: Tidy Up · published

Hello everyone!

Thank you to everyone who has played the demo and shared feedback. This update focuses on making the controls more comfortable, improving nighttime visibility, and making settings easier to navigate.

Controls

  • Added toggle sprint. Instead of holding Shift or the left stick button, you can now press once to sprint and press again to walk. Hold-to-sprint remains available.

  • Added separate controller look sensitivity. Choose slower turning speeds and enjoy gentler camera movement when making small stick adjustments.

  • Controller camera rotation now accounts for frame time.

  • Secondary controller shortcuts now use RT, with updated button hints.

Nighttime Visibility

  • Increased nighttime ambient lighting and softened dark shadows and additional image darkening.

  • Added an Always Daylight option for players who prefer collecting during the day. The day–night cycle remains available.

Interface & Settings

  • Organized settings under Audio, Controls, and Visibility & Comfort headings.

  • Updated the new settings and related control hints across all eight supported languages.

Your feedback helps me improve Seashell Hoarder. Please keep sharing how the controls feel and whether nighttime visibility is more comfortable for you. 🐚
