Geometry Arena News

The URP Version for Geometry Arena is available now. If you are interested, you can follow this announcement to get this version, but be sure to read the 3 notes below.

[h3]About This Version[/h3]
This version is my byproduct of learning the Unity engine's URP (Universal Rendering Pipeline). Compared to the official version, the lighting effect is more beautiful in this version.
This version is not perfect yet, but it is ready to be experienced.
This version will be renewed from time to time, the update content is mainly about rendering optimization, and the version number will stay at v0.6.5 for a long time.
For some technical reasons, this version only support Windows for the time being, but not support MacOS.
This URP here will not be realized in the official version, but I have a plan to develop Geometry Arena Remastered with URP in the future.

[h3]How To Get This Version[/h3]
1. Right-click on Geometry Arena in your Steam library.
2. Click on "Properties".
3. Click on "BETAS" tab.
4. Enter the password "011yyds011yyds" below and click on "CHECH CODE.
5. Select "urpdemo" at the top and close the "properties" panel.
6. UPDATE AND PLAY!

[h3]Note 1[/h3]
In this version, the light effects are extremely intense. If you are at risk of getting some health hazards (such as epilepsy, heart disease, etc., or physical discomfort such as dizziness) due to the light effects in the game, do not experience this version (you will be responsible for your own decisions).
If you have anti-blue light glasses, it's recommend to wear them.

[h3]Note 2[/h3]
This version of the game content will stay at v0.6.5 for a long time, and the savedata are interoperable with the official version. Currently (October 10), the version number of the official version is also v0.6.5, so you can switch between versions freely for the time being. If new content of the official version is updated in the future, please make a backup of your savedata before playing this version to avoid losing your savedata due to downgrade.
The location of the savedata is at the bottom of the announcement, if you don't know how to backup, you can ask other players for help.
This version is currently able to use the leaderboards. If the official version is updated to v0.7.0 or above in the future, data from this version will not be able to be uploaded to the leaderboards.

[h3]Note 3: (disclaimer)[/h3]
If you update the game to the URP version, you are deemed to agree with these caveats, and therefore the developer of this game will not be held liable if any consequences occur (such as induced illness, lost savedata, etc.). (But as a friendly developer, I will do my best to compensate you)
As a general rule, this announcement is the only way for players to access the URP version, so please do not tell the access method and password to others, just ask them to read this announcement.
If you tell the access method and password to others without these notes, you will be held responsible for any negative consequences experienced by other players.
