Demo Update: Fresh Content, Bug Fixes, and More for Controller Users!Oct 25, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHere's an update for the game that includes features from the full game that I am still developing. This update aims to improve the experience for controller users and make the game more immersive by fixing many bugs and issues that were previously present. I'm late with this update, but here it is. As a solo dev, it's tough to meet deadlines. This update is important because it also brings the brand new trailer for the game, showcasing the first official footage of the full game. For those concerned: the game will not be sci-fi oriented as the demo's ending might suggest, but it will be 80% horror and 20% virtual. This update brings a variety of quality-of-life improvements and new features: NEW FEATURES : New items to pick up and discover Flashlight rework: To make it more dynamic, the flashlight now moves independently of the camera (doesn't work on controllers). It also has a flickering effect, and its intensity adjusts when the player performs quick rotations. Skip system: It is now possible to quickly skip cutscenes and dialogues in the game. New dialogue box: The interface for the dialogue box has been improved, making it easier for players to interact with. Event changes: Some in-game events have been removed, while new ones have been added. 3D model updates: Certain 3D models have been replaced or reworked. UI improvements: Some UI elements have been replaced with better designs, improving the visibility of game objectives. Translation system removal: The translation system has been removed from the demo but will be reintroduced in the full game. New main menu: Warning messages will now be displayed. New trailer: A new trailer will play after the demo, showcasing scenes from what the final version of MDNE404 will look like. Revamped tunnel: The tunnel leading back to the real world after death has been completely redesigned. Visual effects: New visual effects have been added to make the backup generator more visible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44790765/940e912da435e4fad1724e57b3849ad0e1b31b1a.png BALANCING : Combat adjustments: Improvements have been made to make combat easier on controllers. Humanoids nerf: Damage reduced from 8.5 -> 6. Slayer power shift: Range reduced from 3 -> 2 / Increased strike speed and block consistency. Aim assist: Aim assist is now available when playing with a controller. Steam Achievements : Steam achievements are now easier to get.
