Hey everyone,
based on some feedback we received, we will be updating the demo soon for a shorter, more concise one. So if you are playing it right now, make sure you try out the 12 challenges and the Avonsae map before the update next week as they will be removed from the demo.

Again, thanks to everyone who gave us comments in the Steam Forum and on Discord while playing the demo.

Cheers!

Hey all,
Good news! We just launched a new update for TimeMelters and we wanted to give you a quick rundown of the patch notes. We also updated the demo to include controller support and all the QOL improvements we've been adding to the game with these last few updates.

- Full Controller Support! Every UI, game objective, and grimoire text change if you use a controller, and then change back if you use keyboard/mouse, 100% seamlessly. It will even detect the controller you're using and display the appropriate controls.
- We added clearer objectives and improved the UI based on your feedback and streamers we saw playing. This includes clearer controls for navigation in Spirit Sight/Strategic View and casting spells among other things.
- We reworked a lot of the sounds in the game, especially enemies. Levels are more even throughout and we tried to add more atmosphere in general.
- General bug fixes and balancing changes were made. Mostly challenges, and a few adjustments in the story campaign.
- Ultra wide support is complete (still in +experimental mode because we want to do further testing, but should be 100% done now)

+experimental still includes 4k resolution and ultra settings as we are still optimizing the game.

Thanks again for all your continued support!

Don't forget if you want to leave us some solid feedback, you can fill out this Survey!

Last little note, we created some new trailers highlighting a few content creators that played

TimeMelters over the last month! You can check them out on the steam page, but we will be posting them elsewhere in the coming weeks.

Thanks again to Kaif, Ebbz and FarFromSubtle for playing our game and letting us have a bit of fun with your footage.

We might have some big news coming up in the next update, so stay tuned! ;)

Hello all!
We've been working really hard this past few weeks to release our second patch. Aside from bugs fixes and tweaks, we added a new "Dialog option", which allows the players to choose either a more "concise" version of the story, or a richer storyline with more dialogs and backstories (for players who like to read).

We added A LOT more features in the Experimental Mode (see how to launch the game in that mode below). Now we've finished "phase 2" of the controller support (about 80% of the UI has been redone to support PS, Xbox and a LOT more controllers). And you can switch from keyboard/mouse to controller at any time seamlessly!

Also, in the experimental mode, we now support Ultra Wide resolutions. There are still 1 or 2 tutorial pop ups that need some fine tuning, but 99% of the game is fully playable in ultra wide now.

For the next patch, we aim to move the controller support and ultra wide mode out of the experimental branch., and focus some more on polish and optimizations.


REMINDER : To launch the game in experimental mode, do the following :
1 - Right-Click on the name of the game in your Steam Library
2 - Click Properties
3 - In the General Tab, at the bottom, you'll see a field under "launch option". Simply type "+experimental" in that field.

Then, when you'll launch the game, you'll be able to see the controller support (with the standard button mapping) in the "controls" menu.

Now, here's a list of features and fixes you'll find in the patch :

Fixed the namesh in Bannerfort so corrupted villagers don't go around anymore (thanks to Runko for pointing it out)

Adjusted the dialogue and included a new option to select regular story mode or extended story mode.

Fixed a UI bug in Duskamble Challenge 3: the UI to show the echo activity hides. This should not be for this challenge since it has a Time Rift.

Switch the VSync for a 60 FPS target frame rate

Fixed an issue at the end of Clawdenvale where allies (Bone Walkers/converted Corrupted) were not being removed and were present during the remaining scenes.

Fixed a bug with Spirit Blast during Drain Life.

In SpiritSight and Strategic view, added control UI for Placing a marker and moving faster.

In Hawkden, fixed the path of the middle sorceress, it was in the ground.

Added more supported controllers, with a more complete updated UI. Still missing a few places, so controller support stays in +experimental mode.

Brooden Cliffs: when the 1st thunder finishes. there was a weird white fog in the distance, this is fixed.
Sorrow Keep Day: SSP bug when you close the stone walls. Partly fixed, enemies react properly, but their path on the right still needs fixing.

Clawdenvale: fixed a performance issue with the 1st vision of Teagan.

In Sorrow Keep Night, removed the option to "Restart at save point" during the load screen.

Sorrow Keep Night: 1st conversation with the villager, Moved Amannan to the the left with Teagan in the dialog layout.

Duskamble: at the end of the mission, the teleport spot was not being erased. Fixed.

The name for the savegames of the two Sorrow Keep missions were the same, we don't know which is which. Fixed.

Bannerfort: If the player had one spirit left and we arrives to the end before Amannan, they could activate the cemetery before early. This was adjusted.

Clawdenvale: Fixed an issue where Fafnogh has a hard time reaching his destination to interact with the crazy villager.

In the Grimoire, fix an issue where the text wrapped around badly.

Made it impossible to remap keyboard keys with Joystick inputs.

Disabled player physics and navMeshClamp while teleporting to fix some teleport issues with the Void Spirit spell.

Fixed an issue when a player died at the same time as they cast infuse life on a graveyard.

Fixed an issue when casting void room in multiplayer as Edwin.

Change the Earth Spirit tutorial to make it clearer.

In Mistgrow, made it clearer that you need to time yourself with your Echoes to shoot the Death Breathers.

Adjusted dialogue in the world map text about Thodoros.

Modified Ardorr Woods so that players can't shoot (in co-op and solo) at enemies from the other side of the river.

Enlarged the BG of the grimoire to add Infestors.


That's it!
