So... I recently got some feedback about the game's dialogue and... wow. Yeah, apparently it's... pretty bad.

Someone dm'ed me with some feedback and they said that the dialogue was "vivziepop tier". I asked a group of individuals what they thought about that and they pretty much all agreed. There was also a negative review yesterday that said the same thing. Someone even said that it's Amy Schumer levels, which is... honestly much worse.

I had no idea that it was that bad. I honestly thought that the dialogue was fine, but hearing this genuinely was disheartening. Like, no joke, it actually hurt.

So, I decided to rewrite a lot of the dialogue in the game to make it a lot more tame. There's still some mature sections in some of the dialogue, but overall that kind of stuff should be a lot less frequent. Some sections I just completely cut out or replaced. I don't know if this will make the dialogue better or not, but hopefully I trimmed away enough for it to not as bad as it was. I think the biggest culprits were some of the earlier stuff that I wrote several months ago, which is what most people were encountering and is what shied them away from the rest of the dialogue or from the game entirely.

I deeply apologize to anyone who wasn't able to experience the game to it's fullest extent because of the dialogue. I know that it's a pretty minor part of the game overall and won't affect most people, but it's important to me that every aspect of the game is, at a bare minimum, tolerable. If I had known this a lot sooner I would've changed it then. It's clear to me that not many people enjoy my writing style, and from now on I'm going to keep it more tame or reduce it overall so people are not uncomfortable with what I make.

I cannot make a perfect game. But I can make them better, and I can't do that without feedback from others. If you encounter anything, ANYTHING, that you do not like about this game, please feel free to dm me on Discord (@aplove) and I will do what I can to improve my craft. Thank you.

Thank you for checking out Solace Inc. on Steam! The game is available RIGHT NOW for you to play!

[h3]v1.4 Update[/h3]

This release also doubles as the v1.4 Update for anyone who played it in the AploVVare Collection, the major changes are basically the same as last time: new characters, new missions, new achievements, yadda yadda yadda. There's now 21 Missions in the game, and 130+ characters! Yowzers!!









There's also some new stuff like the character creator, which lets you create your own characters! You can also upload them to the Steam Workshop and download creations by other players!



There's also some other stuff like co-op (which you can enable by plugging in multiple controllers), new tabs in the Directory that show Synergies and enemies you've encountered, and some other quality-of-life changes.

Pretty big update, and I'm finally glad it's now available! Thank you to everyone who has supported the development of the game so far!

If you have any feedback about the game or encounter any bugs/errors, feel free to let me know by messaging me on Discord (@aplove) and I'll try to have it fixed asap.

Also for anyone interested, I was planning on releasing the free 18+ DLC as well but I goofed up and forgot to add something so it's still under review by Valve, and they like to take their sweet time reviewing stuff so that will be available soon (maybe later today if we're lucky)

Thank you for playing!
