Come on In, the Water's Fine! (v2.2.1)

This update brings loads of fixes, some new codex pages, improved water, and a new piece of music!


Turns out the quality of the last update was not as assured as the title made it out to be. Whoops.

To make it up to you, this update brings not only a long list of fixes and improvements, but a new piece of music for Chapter 2!

And not to worry; we are still making headway towards the final content release. But in the meantime, enjoy another round of refinement to the content we've already got!

== New Content ==

* Added a few new codex pages. Some can be collected now; others will be obtainable during Kodon's story.

== Audio ==

* Added new music for Chapter 2

== Cutscenes ==

* Fixed a typo in Chapter 6

* Fixed Tuhrahkkkii's position in Chapter 7 Intro B

* Fixed several NPCs not talking to you in the epilogue

* Fixed a typo in Chapter 4 (T) outro

* Fixed the dropship's landing gear coming down too early in Tuhrahkkkii's hub intro cutscene

== Graphics ==

* Made the cave exit brighter in Chapter 6 intro

* Redesigned the effects for water & acid to make them look even cleaner and more jank-free than the previous update

* Removed a duplicate geyser in Chapter 7

== Player/Weapons ==

* Drastically reduced Kodon's hover time after accidentally making it too powerful in the previous update

* Kodon's animation now changes when his hover fuel runs out

* Slowed down the horizontal fire rate and sped up the vertical fire rate to match on Kodon's pistols

* Removed the double-shot feature, added some start-up lag, and adjusted the animation for the basic shot of Kodon's cannon

* When using a gamepad, with the default controls, the player will not jump while closing the shop menu

== Level ==

* Removed a spike in Chapter 4 (N) that an enemy would always die on

* Fixed the "Deadly Deadline" challenge in Chapter 8 causing an infinite instant-death loop

* Regi will once more animate when spoken to in the shop

* Regi does not appear in the shop until after Chapter 1; Bea's dialogue reflects this if asked

* Fixed the Death's Door challenge not applying in Prologue (T)

== Enemies ==

* Fixed Flyboy flying off to the top of the screen during battle

* Fixed Berserker drones not attacking

* Fixed robot enemies dropping the wrong shrapnel

* Fixed Aquatic Workers getting stuck in the air after getting hit

* Slightly reduced the velocity of Bursters when they bounce off of a wall

And here's the shop animation for last week's new flail weapon.

Its jump attack hits a wide area, making it perfect for swatting flying enemies!

Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I last posted, but I've still been hard at work with the first chapter of Kodon's story.

And to show for it, we have this stylish fellow - he may be slippery, but he's no match for Kodon's homing shot!

Hmm, what was that someone said about backstabbing?

Operative Delta, elite assassin.

She'll play some sort of part in Kodon's upcoming story content.

The only question is just how much stabbing this part will involve!

Avast! Space pirates!

And what's a captain without his crew? These scoundrels will be among the first to make life difficult for you in Phase 3.

I thought the escape sequence in Chapter 2 didn't have enough urgency to it, so I spiced it up a little.

I also wrote a new song to go with it!

Keep an eye out for this in the next update, coming... whenever I feel like it.

Egad, what's with all the enemies popping out of the walls lately? Can't you all just sit out in the open like proper gentlemen?

Rejoice! The jankiest puzzle in the game has been re-done.

It's still a little fiddly, but now the boulder's less likely to do screwy things like get stuck on a platform, or teleport you to the side on touch.

There's something off about this room.

Almost as if we've entered a new dimension - a THIRD dimension.

Anyway, Construct 3 has had 3D features for a while and I decided to play with them a little. What do you think? Cool effect? Too jarring?

Sweet victory.

Kodon's prologue level is DONE! That's milestone 1 of 4 for completing Phase 3 and reaching Crucible's final release.

Stay tuned for more news in the coming months!
