1979 Revolution: Black Friday News

Hi Everyone,

A patch is now live for 1979 Revolution: Black Friday that fixes and improves a bunch of various issues/bugs we've seen occurring.

• The Unity project has been upgraded from Unity 5.2.2 to Unity 5.3.4! This should resolve issues on older graphics cards crashing at scene 1 due to post-processing effects.
  
• Fixed issues relating to stories and photos being unlockable at the wrong sections of the game.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player could take a photo in the Black Friday scene before they were intended to, which would make progression behave strangely.
  
• Fixed an issue where gameplay would continue behind UI if the user entered the stories book from the photo review screen in certain situations.
  
• Fixed multiple issues regarding users being unable to unlock progress achievements or track stat progress.
  
• Fixed multiple issues regarding blank or mis-firing subtitles.
  
• Fixed an issue relating to two Steam accounts on the same computer preventing achievement unlocking.
  
• All rapid tap prompts and the pressure mini-game for a specific character's trauma mini-game can now be performed using the Spacebar key. Rapid Tap QTE can now be performed with the spacebar key.
• Adjusted certain UI elements to prevent buttons or menu items to disappear at 2k+ resolutions due to UI scaling.
  
• Added UI to inspection camera buttons to better indicate when a object was interactive or not.
  
• Fixed a variety of minor gameplay bugs.
  

Hi Steam Friends!

Thanks so much for all the kind words and discussions over the last week - we're so happy people are discovering and playing the game and we can't wait to see the revolution continue to grow in the coming weeks.

Some of you have been asking about the making of the game. We're happy to announce the start of our developer's diary series where we'll be showing you behind the scenes footage of the process we went through to bring 1979 Revolution: Black Friday to life.

The first part is all about motion-capture and the process we went through to create the cinematics that make up a large part of the game. Check out the video below for a side-by-side comparison between the game and the motion-capture.
