Not a lot of changes going into this build, but important ones none the less. Thanks for all the feedback, you find them and I'll keep fixing them 💙

🔻Bug: Main Menu Settings Test Audio Loop
Update: After adjusting the music volume in the main menu settings, under a very specific circumstance the test music would keep playing indefinitely, even playing along side other music from the game. I watched some streamers unknowingly experience this, and I felt worse than the time I ate multiple beefy 5 layers from t-bell in one sitting. So you know I'm truly sorry :)

🔻BUG: The Mystery of the Vanishing HUD
Update: Unpausing the game with the start button button was the culprit. We had a long talk and the start button will soon make a public apology.

🔻BUG: Mod bench Audio Loop
Update: Accessing the Mod Bench with a weapon without ammo was causing the an audio loop. Fixed.


If you ever have any bugs to report, or feedback you'd like considered share it on our official Dykom Discord Server. Thanks for playing!

I have felt your sadness, and I'm here to wipe away your tears... You can now jump with "Space Bar". Thanks for all the continued feedback and support. So stoked to see so many people enjoying Arksync as Episode 1 nears release through Early Access in March! 💙

🔻Mouse/Keyboard: Jumping
Update: The players have spoken, and you can now jump with "Space Bar" or "W".

🔻Mouse/Keyboard: Health System
Update: Health Repair and Shield Charging used to be Space Bar, but has been moved to the "Q" key.

🔻Mouse/Keyboard: Weapon and Utility Management
Update: Pressing the following keys will switch to the corresponding item, and holding the same key will drop that item.
"1" = Sidearm Weapon
"2" = Primary Weapon
"3" = Secondary Weapon
"4" = Utility

🔻Mantis Mech Boss Fight
Update: I reworked the enemy's phases and attacks, and for the different phases of the fight. Fixed the electrical floor waves that weren't registering hits correctly. Added new "Vulnerable" Cargo Crate artwork for secret Episode 1 reasons.

🔻Firewall Boss Fight
Update: I noticed some of you found sneaky spots to avoid the boss' bullets so I made the bullets A LOT bigger.


🔻Miscellaneous Fixes and Changes

• Added gamepad vibration to pickups and the Mantis Boss Fight, and made it so the controller will no longer rumble when using Mouse and Keyboard controls.
  
• Demo completion notice. Now you know when you've completed the demo, but don't worry, you can keep playing :)
  
• Fixed some audio looping bugs where looped audio wouldn't end.
  
• Probably a bunch of other little things I can't remember.

🔻In this riveting Roguelike Twin Stick Shooter, a war robot is hijacked, reprogrammed by a small toy bear who now rides on it's shoulder. Survive killer machines, and infected humans. Manage your arsenal of upgradable Weapons, and master advanced Utilities. Then risk everything you bring as you survive the Trash Moon, and return the toy bear home.

🔻After a rough release of the early version of Arksync's Demo, the game has been rewired from the ashes. Includes many fixes and improvements for both those that weren't able to play the game, and enough new content to make it worth coming back for more!

🔻You were designed for confrontation. Welcome to Arksync!
