Blog Update: New Stuff Headed to the Blog!

I hope you're all enjoying RC1!

I've discovered a... well, I want to say "surprising amount of bugs", but to be honest, I expected quite a few flaws. So, I'll just say I discovered "an amount of bugs". Anyway, I'll list the ones I've seen so far. If I missed some, which I probably did, please fill out the review form (see the page toolbar)!

Known Issues

• Bug where the player can play any level before he saves the game for the first time.
• Bug that disorients the "talk" system.
• Bug where Scrapper will follow the player out of water (I blame the tiger for this one).
• Bugs in the HUD and other UI systems.

I've highlighted green the ones that I've fixed, yellow the ones I'm fixing or have nearly fixed, and red the ones I haven't fixed at all. Fortunately, I've also added some features! Orange means "in progress". Otherwise, they're done.

• Improved player physics (jump height, gravity, ground deceleration)
• Improved wall-leaping.*
• Other minor bug fixes.

*Wall-leaping is to be removed and added as an unlocked item in a future update.

GitHub

Along with my Feature Spotlights every Friday, I'll be posting the latest updates for the game. Remember, you can download the latest updates of HandDrawn from my GitHub. You may be wondering how you install the SVN version of the game.

It's actually not very much different than installing the stable releases of the game (such as RC1). The only difference is that both the Windows version and the Mac version are combined, making it cross-platform but also a larger package.

To download the latest subversion, simply go to the page "SVN" as listed on the overhead toolbar, then scroll down to "Download ZIP". If you're having trouble installing it, please see the directions that are here. If you've already installed the fonts, then you don't need to do it again unless they were for some reason removed.

Lastly, please not that the GitHub downloads are highly unstable and might blow up your computer probably cause problems with your game. Therefore, please don't judge the game off of the subversion's performance because it's not an official release of the game.

Thanks reading!
