[Question] Version 0.25.3 Feedback collection!
Added 2024-06-30 16:46:00 +0000 UTCHello patrons!
Thank you very much for your support. As usual, I made this post here to collect your feedback and thoughts on the latest release. Let us know if there are bugs, crashes or ideas that you have on how we can improve the demo. Also let us know if you have felt any change in the performance or if anything else comes to your mind, really.
This is a very important post because, the first half of next month is the last one we'll be working on version 0.25, as we switch our efforts to implement new content and push the storyline forward.
EDIT - List of reported issues.
These are the things I found so far while testing and that will be on our to-do list this week to fix. I'll be updating this list with other issues you report so we can do this final push on version 0.25 to make it as good as we want it to be:
General issues:
The settings are broken and not saving again.
The skip button on dialogues isn't consistently showing up
Players need to press "skip" after the screen goes black on the trigger of Nemesis' cutscene
The photo mode camera doesn't move. Inputs don't work there
The mist form behaviour isn't working well.
Merishya's "Exit Cutscene" behaviour might need to be reviewed because it isn't working properly and she's falling through the floor
Kalyskah is being set to the wrong position when she takes the finishing move from the opponents
Remove the part of the railing between the sewer opening and the bridge so the players can better understand that they need to jump on the sewers to get to the other side
Need to check the damage output of the Darkness Shot ability
Things to be added to the tutorial:
How to block attacks
How to evade attacks
Should clarify that to drink blood, you should hold the E key and not just press
Quality of Life:
Maybe we should change the key for blood buff because pressing Alt can make the thing activate without the player's intent to.
Comments
Kalyskah has met Catherine and Jessie and many others several times. The journal was not updated correctly. Problem: "Fast Travel" to "Garden of Earthly Delights" did not work. (I wanted to travel from "The Morgue", but "Garden of Earthly Delights" was not in destination list.) Is version 0.25.3 done with this ?

2024-07-02 20:07:31 +0000 UTCSubject Combat strength Your advice to use "Blood Buff / Heal" was very helpful. It changed the death rate dramatically to Kalyskah's favor. Strange/funny side effects in the game Several times after Kalyskah hit an opponent very hard, he started to float to the ceiling. If it was an archer or witcher, he continued his attack from above. You know Merishya is not stable ? Sometimes she's just "glitching" around.

2024-07-02 14:35:50 +0000 UTCThank you for your answer ! It was neccessary to delete both files "Char_i_Kalyskah_GameSettings.sav" and "EnhancedInputUserSettings.sav". After this I had to redo all settings. "Heavy Attack" is still not available and I lost the feature "ToggleHelp". Another problem (at least for me) or call it a personal wish: The game shows "Move Backwards". But this is not what the game does. It really uses "Turn 180° and Move". For my use I would pefer to have "Step Back" (i.e. no change in direction orientation).

2024-07-01 19:52:16 +0000 UTCTo investigate the noise you need to return to the start of the dungeon. We'll make that cutscene clearer

2024-07-01 16:51:42 +0000 UTCWhile we were fixing some refferences on the UI, we might changed things that we were supposed to. Give us a moment and we'll fix it this week. What I would suggest you to try in the meantime is to go to the folder that your game is saved in the AppData folder "AppData\Local\Kalyskah\Saved\SaveGames" And delete the file named "Char_i_Kalyskah_GameSettings" This should make so the next time you open the game, it will try to get the default settings. If it doesn't work, I can send you my own save

2024-07-01 16:50:55 +0000 UTCThanks for the extensive report. I already forwarded it to the programming team and we'll be working on it this week!

2024-07-01 16:47:47 +0000 UTCAdditional info I just found also the "Interact" is bound to "V" (should be "E"="Interact"). I did not find a way to return to the wanted settings. The program just ignores my changes. So have I to wait for the next program version ?

2024-07-01 13:44:27 +0000 UTCAt some point I solved the problem, freed Merisha and defeated Grimminock ... quitted the game. Several hours later I wanted a second round. Started the game and selected "New Game". I did not change any setting in the meanwhile. Surprisingly the action mapping showed "V" = "Sheath Weapon" ????? I defined "Sheath Weapon" to be "R". There is a very BIG PROBLEM in the settings. I don't understand why I'm the only one complaining here. Is everyone else using the default settings ? More differences, the game shows "Heavy Attack" = "B+R" "Sprint" = "L-CTRL" "Blood Buff / Heal" = "L-ALT" And this is the list of my settings: [/Script/Engine.InputSettings] ActionMappings=(ActionName="Attack",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=G) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Block",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=B) ActionMappings=(ActionName="BloodRecovery",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=O) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Crouch",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=C) ActionMappings=(ActionName="HeavyAttack",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=F) ActionMappings=(ActionName="HideToysystemUI",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Tab) ActionMappings=(ActionName="interact",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=E) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Jump",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=SpaceBar) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Magic_Slot1",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=One) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Magic_Slot2",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Two) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Magic_Slot3",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Three) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Magic_Slot4",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Four) ActionMappings=(ActionName="MistForm",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=LeftControl) ActionMappings=(ActionName="nextTab",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=D) ActionMappings=(ActionName="OpenJournal",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=J) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Pause",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=P) ActionMappings=(ActionName="PerspectiveSwitch",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Zero) ActionMappings=(ActionName="PredatorVision",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=V) ActionMappings=(ActionName="PreviousTab",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=A) ActionMappings=(ActionName="QuickLoad",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=F9) ActionMappings=(ActionName="QuickSave",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=F5) ActionMappings=(ActionName="scrollDown",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=MouseScrollDown) ActionMappings=(ActionName="scrollUp",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=MouseScrollUp) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Sprint",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=S) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Target",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=T) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Telekinesis",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Q) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleHelp",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=X) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleInventory",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=I) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleManualAnim",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=NumPadThree) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleManualAnim",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=SpaceBar) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleManualAnim",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Three) ActionMappings=(ActionName="ToggleWeapon",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=R) ActionMappings=(ActionName="toySytemAction",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=NumPadOne) ActionMappings=(ActionName="toySytemAction2",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=NumPadTwo) ActionMappings=(ActionName="toySytemAction2",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Two) ActionMappings=(ActionName="Walk",bShift=False,bCtrl=False,bAlt=False,bCmd=False,Key=Tab)

2024-07-01 13:18:42 +0000 UTCAfter releasing Merishya and killing the big ugly monster (not sure what you call it!!) you have to "investigate the noise" - but at this point, Merishya keeps disappearing through the floor whereas before the monster, she was following me. Then you get to a spiral staircase (next to some pipes) that seems to have an invisible barrier that prevents you going up. It seems at this point that there is nothing to do as I've looked around for about 30 minutes - same rooms all empty other than Merishya appearing and falling through the floor!!

2024-07-01 09:23:40 +0000 UTCSomeone else reported it. Seems like you need to press "Skip" on the first sentence

2024-07-01 02:35:38 +0000 UTCOh! The darknes shot ability was missing on the latest balance pass I did. The damage was still as high as it used to be when she had more health. About the difficulty, are you remembering to heal with the blood buff and also to hold the right mouse button to block attacks? The heavy attack, in the keyboard, is Shift + Click. Are the controller keys not working?

2024-07-01 02:30:52 +0000 UTCI still have problems with the game control. I can not activate/use all actions. Especially "Heavy Attack" is not available. There are still short sequences with laggy behaviour. (But I can not name them.) About combat (the following statement meets when Kalyskah enters the scene the first time) : The combat power is very unevenly distributed. Kalyskah needs 10 or more hits while her opponent needs only one or two hits. Accordingly Kalyskah is killed 4 times while the opposing swordsman only dies one time. Even worse is a fight against an archer. The death ratio is about 10 to 1. Kalyskah has no chance if there two opponents. Kalyskah is not able to defeat the troll. Sometimes it is not possible to use "Darkness Shot". Sometimes Kalyskah opens a door and is killed immediately ... Overall, I have the impression that the control doesn't work correctly in fast fight scenes. Currently Kalyskah is searching the Dungeon Key. But there is one opponent and Kalyskahs deathrate is 100% :-(
