General Update
Good news! The students of Edgewood discovered some exciting new knick-knacks at the end of the spring semester. Come find them before the Administrators take them away. There's also loose talk of some new irregularities in the building, but those are probably just unfounded rumors. In short, we have a handful of new items and new floor characteristics for you to enjoy on the experimental branch -- we hope you like them!
Yes, this is the first update in a few months. Unfortunately, we are now working full time jobs apart from our efforts on ODP, which means our development time is heavily dependent on whatever time we can get away from work. Given these constraints, we're going to do our best to keep updating and adding to the game, but we can't promise how far we'll get.
If we had our way, we'd pour all of our time into ODP, because we love this game and there's a lot more we'd like to do with it. It's also really fun as a developer adding stuff to the game and getting excited thinking about whether players (you!) are going to think it's fun, how you'll use it, and what you'll say about it.
Controller Support
One thing which we've wanted to add since day one is controller support. We're cautiously optimistic we'll eventually get there. One of the difficulties we've had is reversing controls, so we're considering changing what happens when Cordy gets confused. If you have a better idea for what green smoke could do to Cordy, let us know in the comments below. (Until then, you can still use JoyToKey to play ODP with a controller!)
How to get onto experimental branch
You can access the test/experimental branch via Steam by right-clicking on Our Darker Purpose in your library > Properties > Betas tab > and opting into the Test branch. (No beta access code is necessary, you can ignore that). Warning: Experimental branch may have unusual bugs and/or cause loss of save data!
