Project Absentia News

A small patch for PA (despite the size of the patch):

• Optimize sprites/textures/brightmaps using a better tool called oxipng.
  
• Remove unused sprites from Episode 1 (Early Access release only, not in demo).
  
• Add new slider graphics! No more cruddy looking sliders in the menus!
  
• Cutscene maps are now skippable with any key on the keyboard, or any button (aside Start/Back) on controllers.
  
• Some upstream patches that fixed custom resolution issues.
  
• Dropped support for the TI-84 Calculator and the Tandy 1000.
  

Here's another patch.

• Fixed some engine-side bugs and regressions that were patched upstream with GZDoom 4.10 and GZDoom 4.11 prerelease.
  

Project Absentia is currently 25% off until the 15th of December! Grab yourself a copy of the ultra-violent flashcore movement shooter today!

Here's another patch to get you by as we get Episode 2 under way. This involves yet another (and hopefully the last for a while) save state rework.

• Save states and config are now stored in your C:\Users\<>\Documents\My Games\WIGZDoom directory. This is to prevent occasional read-write issues on modern Windows and modernize GZDoom's save state/configs a bit. Your save states will break for sure. Welcome To Early Access.
  
• Added Bullet Tracer effects to make hitscan/bullet attacks more obvious.
• Several engine fixes.
• Update WIGZDoom icon to reflect WIS branding.
• Dropped support for the Motorola Powerstack.

For people with current playthroughs - your savestates will break. Use the beta branch ep1-1.4.3 to use the previous build. Older builds will be kept around as long as possible for people to finish their playthroughs on. Check out more information here.

Here's another patch.

• Accessibility Option - inverting mouse x/y options are now exposed in the mouse menus.
• Texture alignment issues in E1M5 fixed.
• Updated one of the wanted posters. Yes, this is an important fix.
• Removed an unused sound.
• Dropped support for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore PET.

For people with current playthroughs - your savestates will possibly break. Use the beta branch ep1-1.4.2 to use the previous build. Older builds will be kept around as long as possible for people to finish their playthroughs on. Check out more information here.
