IMPORTANT please read this post if you want to know what's happening with the game currently.
For anyone wondering the Steam version is basically going to be a completely different game so that's more than enough reason to buy it.
And because the game is going to be sold on Steam now the free versions (previous versions of the game before Steam) can no longer be distributed officially by the developer.
1.1 and 1.2 are the current version of the game, 1.3 is going to be the Steam version. 1.2 is more or less the same as 1.1 but it has updated sound with a bunch of quality of life changes that 1.1 didn't have along with some bonus content.
Until recently 1.2 was never publicly available outside of the games discord but it is currently the download available on the page right now. It was 1.1 before.
In a few days the game wont be officially available for free anymore but you will be able to get all of the free versions still from speedrun.com
But please consider buying the Steam version it will have a lot more content that is not available on the free versions and it helps support the developer.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.
Well there's a lot to know just from the Steam trailer.
- There will be 2 new playable characters Marine and Pekora
- There will be multiple new boss fights.
- It looks like there will be 2 new stages but I could be wrong that's just a guess.
- And I'm assuming there will be at least 1 more new end but that is also just a guess, it makes sense though that there would be.
Outside of the trailer I don't know much about 1.3 mostly just stuff that is only relevant to speedrunning. But there are a few things worth noting.
- You wont have to pause to switch characters anymore.
- Marine and Pekora will be separate modes so you will not be able to switch between 4 different characters. It will only be Flare and Noel the same as before.
- Cursed mode is gone, it technically counts as its own character so there would've been 5 characters but its been removed from the game now I guess. Not very surprising because it was something you only got from getting all of the achievements in the game and I think most people didn't know about it anyway.
That's everything I know about 1.3 aside from the speedrunning stuff. There could very well be a lot more that I don't know about, I'm sure the dev wants to keep at least some of it a surprise so we'll just have to wait and see.
