Lorn's Lure News

• Achievements implementation fix. The achievements you should have gotten will now be populated on startup
  
• Invisible triggers should not kill you now
  
• Save progress should never be lost, even if you alt+f4
  
• Fixed some triggering volume logic. This affects levels loading properly (chapter 6 after the harvester). Waypoint hints may also be fixed. Chapter 8 path block may also be fixed. Please report if not with your save.dat and player.log file!
  
• Not really a bug, but the community updated some dialogue in certain locales
  

• Standing next to a slide and jumping should not launch you off
  
• Tic-Tacs had a minor change that may help improve reliability, but still thinking about this one
  
• No more dying when touching a vertical wall at terminal velocity
  

• Death volume is now below sludge so it will feel more fair
  
• Flare light range has increased
  
• Flares last longer, so you can trace a path with them, or take your time platforming
  
• Don't allow looping back into start of caves once you've triggered the sludge flow
  
• Chase segment sludge has been slowed down a bit
  

• Better teaching of Tic-Tac by having the tutorial appear right after getting it, and the exit being closer by
  
• Player cannot start the sky tram if they don't have the Mold Flower
  
• There are now 3 paths to the mold flower, and underneath the island is visible from farther away to make it more obvious that you have to go under the island
  
• Added some new checkpoints here and there
  

• Added more platforms in area after the long fall
  
• Added platforms in the area where you have to go upwards through a hole
  
• Second last section where you surf on the left: I cut off the top part since folks mistakenly went up
  
• Removed misleading path in the meat room
  
• Slowed down many sequences of meat and blocks
  
• Made it clearer that the block in the rotating checkered room kills you by changing the texture to glow-meat
  
• Increased the length of the starting area so that it better trains the player to use the grappling hook (also more fun to be had)
  

It's strange that parkour hasn't been more of a thing in gaming. Of course there's almost no FPS games that don't feature mantling of some sort, but in terms of free running itself there's only really Mirror's Edge, Dying Light, and a few others that raise the flag for first person jumping. New retro game Lorn's Lure joins that number, offering all the climbing you'll need.

• Don't forget to leave a review! Pre-launch it's all about wishlists. Post-launch it's all about review count.
• I will continue to take feedback and improve the game to ensure it's the best experience!
  
• I was not able to find a South Korean community translator, so if you're out there and willing to help localize, let me know! Until then, it's machine translation :(
  
• Once you unlock New Game +, there is a possibility that you can easily go out of bounds (except for the last chapter). It is near impossible for me to solve this without adding a LOT of geometry, which may impact performance - so I will allow it.
  
• When I make updates, you may have to redo your settings sometimes
  
• If you played the demo, there might have been an update to the control mapping that breaks it in new builds. To fix this, simply reset the control binds!
  

• Fixing bugs here and there that folks bring up
  
• Maybe adding features if there is enough demand
  
• Maybe fixing localization issues as folks bring them up
  
• After launch week and enough bug fixing I'll probably take a break
  
• Afterwards, if the game has done well enough, I'll run a poll to see if folks want modding or a VR spinoff next
  
• I'll probably also experiment with an infinite procedural megastructure in parallel to see if this is possible.
