Let There Be Light



So What Gives?


Now I know what you're thinking...
"When is there going to be an actual content update? What is this, just some stupid lighting update? Gahh! Get off my feed!"

Well beside that being a little harsh (jeez), we're actually in the same boat here. I honestly want a content update even more than you do! Problem is I just don't have time for all that while I juggle Armed and Gelatinous' upcoming console release and build fancy Arcade Machines for arcade bars all across the country. Yes, that's what I've been doing and it's really hard work!

But fear not! This update is proof that Influent has not been entirely forgotten! Not only that, but some long-requested fixes have been addressed! Let me list the ways...

  • Fantastic Lighting System ft. Realtime Shadows
  • Fly By Mode Unlocks at 10 Words
  • Much Improved Fly By Movement
  • Re-positioned Hard-To-Reach Objects
  • Improved Physics Animation System
  • Fixed Dreaded Linux Selection Offset Bug


Why bother with all this, you ask? Excellent question! Influent was in need of some love and affection and I've been meaning to fix it up to where it's fully playable by 2020's standards. I will be keeping an eye on the Discord Server and the Steam Forums to see what people have to say! Please stop by and tell me how excited you are about the fancy new realtime shadows! :D

Until next time! Hopefully sooner than later!

For the immediate interim, please enjoy this super awesome Free Weekend event starting... today! Full access to all EFIGS languages from now through Monday for your gaming pleasure. Take advantage of being trapped indoors (just like Andrew Cross) and why not try picking up a new language? Sigh...

Enjoy the new build!!!
