Minor patch for the update

Removed dev teleports :P

Explore Mode QOL Changes

Hey climbers, just pushed a minor update to the Explore Mode for quality of life improvements.

This includes:
  • Explore mode saves are now separate
  • Many more checkpoints in Chapter 8!
  • Alert icon to show new folks where the settings is


Regarding separate saves, this also implies separate records! So when you hover over the chapter in the level select menu, while Explore Mode is selected, you'll see empty records.

Just beat the chapter in Explore Mode and you'll see a record populated. Do the same for regular mode if you beat the game on Explore mode first.

This also applies to the full run mode.

Records had to be separated cause chapter 8 has a different number of scans in Explore mode, and folks probably want a way to measure their runs separately anyway.

Let me know if you have any issues!

Cheers,

One of 2024's grandest and hardest first-person exploration games just got a lot easier


I'm still bumbling, tumbling and blundering through the cavernous labyrinths of first-person spelunking sim Lorn's Lure, in which you are an android exploring a series of enormous machines and sunken artificial habitats. I hope one day to level up from "bumbling, tumbling and blundering" to "running and jumping". Perhaps I'll even get as far as "speedrunning". But in the likely event that I plateau at "blundering", it's a relief to know that developer Rubeki Games has updated the game with an Explore Mode that makes certain sections dramatically easier.

Explore Mode Out NOW!!!



Sorry this took so long but I had to redo a good chunk of the last level, and I'm battling a very bad flu.

[h3]What is Explore Mode?[/h3]

It aims to smooth out very difficult spots for players that were expecting an atmospheric exploration game throughout.

This means:
- No more chases (Chapter 3, Chapter 8)
- More platforms in Chapter 5 intro descent
- Chapter 6 wind tower has more platforms to help with some of the difficult wind sliding parts.

The highlight is Chapter 8, since it's basically completely different, and even has a different ending so that it makes sense lore-wise!

[h3]How do you enable Explore Mode?[/h3]
It's in the Gameplay Settings menu as a check box.
If you start a chapter in that mode, DO NOT resume the chapter with the mode off (and vice versa)! This will likely cause issues with progress.

If you already started one of the affected chapters, I recommend starting it again.

[h3]Here's a video preview[/h3]

I'm open to expanding on this mode, so if you have other places that could use smoothing, just let me know.

Enjoy!

Start your picks!



I just wanted to let y'all know that the speedrunning community is up and RUNNING (get it?).

I hope this community grows, as I seriously enjoy watching the runs, and would love to see it hit GDQ one day!

If you're a runner, check it out here:

NG+ is definitely the most popular option, but still hoping a full NG run gets completed soon :)

Good luck!
