The first of a number of updates for this roadmap has just been released.

One of the main changes has been the inclusion of custom keybinding and revamps to the pause menu.


Partial controller support is not ready yet, but it should be added in the next major update.
Once that releases, the controller support will not have custom key biding for now, but it may get added in the future.

Another fun addition is the PSX mode, giving you possibly some nostalgic feelings from the late 90s.
While it is not quite finished yet, you can have it as a kind of preview.



Some of the jittery vertecies effect (originally in the psx due to no floating percission) has to be set up yet in the right way. I am stitching together different pieces of shader variants for retro effects, to get the perfect presentation working. Stay tuned on that for more!

The next update will include revamps to the Accordion Man quest (hold off before playing it therefore).
I also want to another new side quest coming along.
The question is, who is the dude...?

The change log is displayed below as usual.

Cheers and God bless

Hello fellow players, I recently saw many comments about bugs.

Some have been reported due to being on the unstable test branch, which is as the name suggests experimental and not the official version. I removed that one from the public now, so you should be automatically moved to the default version.

There is a list of fixes soon coming to the default version.

Hope you will enjoy ACT III :)

Cheers and God bless.

Well finally we are here. ACT III is planned to release on thursday this week.
November 12th to give you a number :)

The update will include a new save system which means, if you want to continue your old save game, you need to switch to the legacy branch. This version of the game will be the current default one before the release of ACT III.

A new save system also means that you need to restart your game. But trust me it will REALLY pay off.
While the default branch did not get any new updates for a while, this update will include big revamps to ACT I and II. A big overhaul to the visuals of the AI cars. and inner workings! More things to do, and explore!
Being able to experience the story leading up to ACT III in a new and revisioned way!

Here is the official and final trailer for No Time's Main Story:
