Idea Fix News

[h2]Got some news for you[/h2][p][/p]

1. [p]If you liked Idea Fix you might also enjoy Faceminer. I've actually finished it myself a few months before release and really liked the experience.
   
   Like both and want to save 10%? We got a BUNDLE for you!

2. [p]We're localizing the game into Russian, Chinese, German, Portuguese, Spanish and French. Russian translation is finished and we've made a branch for it if you want to test and report the bugs. To access it right click the game in the library, go to properties, betas and select the one with translation. This one:[/p][p][/p][p][/p]

[p]Hello Machine enthusiasts! We've fixed most (if not all) gamebreaking bugs. Time for us to address some accessibility issues and streamline the overall user experience. Since these fixes are no longer critical we're gonna push them to a new experimental branch on steam for testing first. [/p][p]If you want to help us test or get a sneak peak to the upcoming content: [/p][p]right click -> properties -> betas -> next_version_preview

This particular patch features:
[/p]

• [p]Inverted vertical mouse look[/p]
• [p]Corrected typos in text and art assets[/p]
• [p]Added shine to collectibles

[p][/p][h2]The Update [/h2][p][/p][p]This update was only possible thanks to Nom, one of our programmers.[/p][p]He single-handedly implemented multiple features while testing and fixing bugs in less than 2 business days.[/p][p][/p][p]What did Nom do exactly?

1. Created a system to re-read dialogues with your friend.[/p][p]2. Reworked save system eliminating nasty progression bugs. More on that later.[/p][p]3. Disabled fun chair telekinesis by limiting the range you can drag things at.[/p][p]4. Fixed a bug where a certain late game puzzle was preventing you from acquiring early game floppies.[/p][p]5. Made datamosh (loading screen smear effect) optional. Toggle it in menu if you don't like it![/p][p]6. Added collision to elevator walls. No more death% speedruns![/p][p]7. Accessibility options for head bob/tilt/sprint fov are now available! [/p][p]8. Quite a few other things that are a bit too technical! The man is a Machine![/p][p][/p][p]Updating might mess with the progression so we made a guide that shows you how to restore your point in the game.[/p][p][/p][p]You can grab save files and read up on them here:[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p][/p][h2]The News[/h2][p][/p][p]Due to some important and urgent real life business, I, Zuit, the idea guy, will have to be out of town for about a week.[/p][p]In case something is terribly wrong with this version of a game I won't be able to upload a fixed build.[/p][p][/p][p]I did make a branch "previous_version" that you can switch to if you want.[/p][p]In case you do:[/p]

1. [p]right-click the game in your library, select Properties, and go to the BETAS tab.[/p]
2. [p]From the dropdown menu, choose "previous_version".[/p]
3. [p]Wait for Steam to redownload IF.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]The Future[/h2][p][/p][p]We hope to make Idea Fix as fun to play as possible while also preserving its unique atmosphere.[/p][p]To achieve that goal we're planning to add a minigame or two, address endgame balancing and maybe expand on the existing content in some weird ways I know you folks will enjoy![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for reading this block of text!

[p]Fixed a major bug that was preventing normal player progression. [/p][p]Due to the bug player's current save file might be boosted a bit ahead in the story.[/p][p][/p][p]We recommend resetting the save if you don't have much progress for an intended experience.[/p][p]Also, make sure you have the latest version.[/p][p][/p][p]Terribly sorry about that,[/p][p][/p][p]Zuit, the idea guy[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Anything else we should look at?

[p]Hello there Machine enthusiasts![/p][p]Thanks for your amazing support![/p][p][/p][p]Turns out some puzzles can get pretty hectic if you don't know the exact solution beforehand.[/p][p]Now, I know them because I made them, but some may not be as fortunate.[/p][p]To address that we added some additional hints to the game. To access these you need to be able to go outside and then inside but not back inside. Hope that makes sense![/p][p][/p][p]We also fixed some broken text for Mainframe commands. Let us know if we missed any![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Anything else we should look at?
