Mad Experiments: Escape Room News

Hey everyone,
The large majority of you are having a smooth ride but on some specific occasions, few bugs appeared.

[h2]Patch notes 1.42:[/h2] - MacOS: Trackpad and mac mouses should now work as intended
- Comfort: Increase brightness on some clues
- French: Fixed typo
- Gramophone: fixed wrong text showing when adding the handle
- Fixed message in the feedback report
- Added possibility to pass the early access message with any key
- Updated some localization texts



[h3]Know Issues on macOS & Linux[/h3]
The cursor could be off-centered, which makes picking up objects and interacting a pain.
For now, there is a workaround: In the visual settings, try to change the game's resolution or screen aspect (full screen seems to be the most stable).
It's a complicated issue as the bugs come from the 3D engine that I use. I tried to write specific code for this issue for both Mac and Linux but I didn't succeed to fix it yet. I will definitely keep you updated!


Thank you for your support and your patience!

Stay safe and sharp!

The making of Room 2 is going well, along with adding a few surprise for release in Early Access ;)

I've been on full throttle on Mad Experiments: Escape Room (MEER) before the quarantine but since it started 3 weeks ago, my working time has been drastically reduced, from 8-10 hours a day to 2-3h because of quarantine family time :)

I would never have the time to finish the 2nd room for the end of April so instead of delaying, I thought I could help people to connect with their friends and family by releasing the first room on Steam, on April 16th!

The 2nd room will be added for free in May/June. I'm sorry for the delay but I can't deliver the 2nd room in its current state, it's not even beta-ready.

Game development is an art that takes time because to build something great, you have to iterate a lot. You sometimes have to start things from scratch if what you had in mind just doesn’t work as expected.
As a solo dev, every iteration takes a toll on the development progress, hence the enormous amount of time required to build a game.

I thank you for the support you gave me since the beginning
Stay tuned I have few little surprises to share in the coming days and weeks ;)
