Hi everyone!

The quality of life at Edgewood is about to get (marginally) more bearable for its downtrodden residents. We'd welcome any help in testing the latest test/experimental patch (v513), accessible through the 'Betas' tab within Steam -> Our Darker Purpose properties.

NOTE: If you already have an in-progress run, resuming the run seems to cause strange doubled pause/option menus. Restarting after your next run should fix this. Please let us know if it is a persistent issue!

Notes

  • Added ability to save and exit mid-game (not just at level select)
  • Added numerous instructions everywhere (how to buy at vending machine, etc.)
  • Added ability to remap gamepad (and overall keymapping interface/default controls)
  • Added display options for timers for floor and overall run
  • Added confirmation windows to new game / deleting of progress
  • Revamped sound control UI
  • Added handful of sound effects
  • Fixed few graphical glitches (challenge chests removed from map, friendly dog now has a shadow)
  • General optimizations to enhance game start-up time and FPS
  • Reduced ability to "stick" against doors
  • Increased warning time before The Frozen Few attacks
  • Revamped Cyndar's Timekeeper fight (gear speed, time bubbles)
  • The Virtuoso's chair should no longer move during pauses
  • Expanded interact range for chests and memory room objects
  • Changed electricity from Van Der Graff to light blue
  • Fixed My Manuscript! from locking out your attacks (hopefully for the last time)
  • Fixed Stolen Seconds cooldown display glitch
  • Reduced vending machine price for a few items (e.g., Escher's Compass)
