Phantasmal: Behind the Scenes Part 1



Hey Guys,
I've been a bit crap with posting updates recently - we're still hard at work on the 64 bit build which is a big task at the moment.

I thought I'd try something a bit different in the mean time and give you a sneak peek on some dev stuff:

I add in a new room at the start with recognition for some of our biggest supporters.


Feel free to let me know if there's other stuff you'd like to see for the future!

Dope Fish has been an absolute star player recently adding in a wiki, lots of bug reports and screenshots. It was an honor for us to be able to have his as one of our players and include his name in the game! ːPhantasmalSkullː

I'd like to thank our other recent contributors:

Sir.Culocane
Nice Puppies
Banzai Bonsai
Marshalvs1
iKhu47
sbobo3113

And also our youtubers and streamers!
Zalzar
Dashiel
Loriipops
Lumpz
Indie
Gamers' Quest

Hopefully I haven't missed anyone out - feel free to let me know if I did! ːsteamhappyː

Update 19: Higher Resolutions and Default Gamma Config Fix

Hi Guys,
As per the title we’ve pushed through a hotfix to help with an issue that is affecting some users.

We’ve done a temporary work-around for gamma and brightness, so you may need to recalibrate when you start the game again. Remember you can always start the game after that and manually configure the gamma/brightness in the in-game menu (Esc->Options->Configure).

You now have the ability to type in your gamma/brightness settings textboxes to fine tune the values.

This change should hopefully solve the dark screen problem with new players. Note that although the current implementation isn’t ideal, we have a full UI overhaul planned in the next couple of weeks which will address most of these residual issues.

We’ve included in this patch the inclusion of higher resolutions. Unfortunately we don’t have access to 4K monitors, so please check this out if you do. Let us know if this doesn’t work correctly for you.

Thanks!
Ash

EDIT: 18 Apr - We found that help text wasn't showing up in the tutorial. This has been fixed now. Thanks to @NicePuppies for spotting that with eagle eyes! ːPhantasmalSkullː
