Point-and-Click mode, Hints, Highlights, and support for more resolutions

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing well. A quality of life update has just been uploaded. It includes the following:

[h2]Point and click mode[/h2]
A new Point and Click mode is available that allows you to navigate in the classic first-person adventure style. You still have the option to navigate in the default style, Free Roam, using WASD keys to move around if you prefer. These movement methods can be changed at anytime in the game in the Settings menu.


[h2]No more Letterbox[/h2]
For those that have monitors at aspect ratios other than 16:9, the letterbox has been removed so you can enjoy the game without the black bars. Most ultra widescreen monitors should benefit from this as well. :)

[h2]Object Highlights[/h2]
A Highlight mode has been added that highlights objects you can interact with as you hover over them. There is an option to disable this in the Settings menu if desired.

[h2]Hints[/h2]
There are also more detailed hints that can be accessed through the Pause menu. A different hint will show depending on where you are in the game.


Hope you enjoy and please let me know if you run into any issues!

Thanks,
Jason

Minor bug fix for high end monitors

Discolored has been updated with a fix for those playing with a high-end monitor and were experiencing stuttering issues while looking up and down. This should be vastly improved if not completely fixed. For best results please make sure Vsync is enabled. You may have to restart Steam to get the update. If anyone runs into any issues with this update please let me know.

Thanks!
Jason

Bug fixes

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update to let you know the game has now been patched fixing most of the bugs.

Some people had an issue with their cursor getting stuck while in the suitcase view, this was addressed a day or so after the game's launch. If you are running into this please make sure you have the latest version and there is no update pending for the game.

There was also an issue with things looking like they were stuttering while moving when running on a high end PC. Note that this wasn't due to low framerate, but rather something out of sync with the way things were setup in the Unity game engine. This has just recently been addressed and should be good to go.

If you run into anything else please let me know.

Thanks!
Jason

Motion sickness tip

Hey everyone,

If you play the game and start to feel motion sick please try going into the Settings menu and adjust the Field of View to a larger value and see if that helps. Currently it goes up to 90.

Hope that helps,
Jason
