DEVLOG #1: Name of the game is Accessibility

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Over the past few months we’ve been working towards preparing Totally Reliable Delivery Service for our piping hot release on Steam! Huzzah!

We have a lot of exciting developments that we want to share with our community over the course of the next few weeks. So make sure to follow up each week to find out more!

Enough jibber jabber! Let’s take a look at our first Dev Update this week: Accessibility.

One of the areas that we first wanted to serve our playerbase was ease of access. Totally Reliable Delivery Service has always been intended to be a light hearted experience best shared with others. Here’s some of the changes we’ve made to keep the good times rolling!

Simple Controls

We came up with a new control scheme called “Simple Controls” that will allow you to feel a bit more focused on what’s happening on the screen rather than what’s happening in your hands.

  • Perform lifting, driving, and delivering packages with half the effort.
  • Both arms are now controlled by one button to lift, and one button to raise.
  • Autorun feature to help reduce jammed fingers while increasing productivity!


Grabbing Assist

We’ve updated how small objects interact with grappling to assist players with timely deliveries.

  • Attempting to grab near objects now pulls moveable objects into your hands.
  • A white circle will now give players visual feedback for successfully grabbing objects.
  • Sledding has never been easier! Much wow!


Vehicle Enter Assist

We added a few new features to make it a lot easier for players to get into vehicles effortlessly!

  • Visible circle when enter assistance is available that indicates the position to jump from.
  • Tighter physics that more accurately place the player in the correct position in the vehicle for driving.
  • New force rotation so the player always faces the joysticks making the amount of buttons to press to start driving far fewer.


That's it! Let us know what you think of character control changes - and don't forget to hit that wishlist button if you want to stay-tuned on all the upcoming news before the game gets released on steam! ‘Till next time!
