Just a bit of cleanup

Fixes for minor bugs introduced with the last build's changes.

A few updates based on community feedback and suggestions:

• Added a link to the Discord on the main menu
  
• Added total time for playlist if you've completed all levels within the playlist
  
• Added total time for the game if you've completed the game
  
• Prevent movement at the start of the level unless the movement is to begin running (helps when rebinding controls that are the same as preview level controls)
  
• Improved collision detection for kong vaults
  
• Added a hint / tutorial for level 1-16 to help if player falls into a pit instead of rolling successfully
  
• Fixed a bug in the Level Select UI where Found Items weren't displaying

Summary
A little bit of polish and quality of life improvements based on initial feedback:

Cloud Saves
The game now syncs your progress across different devices using Steam Cloud Saves.

You can run up shorter walls, now
There used to be a minimum wall height required to run up walls, but the feedback was that this felt a bit arbitrary and unfair. I definitely agree and there's no gameplay reason why you shouldn't be able to run up any wall, regardless of its height, so this has been updated.

Fixes Assist Mode's "Auto run up walls" setting
Some previous changes to how running up walls works broke the Assist Mode functionality for automatically running up walls as you approach them. This has been fixed.

Ability to rebind shortcut buttons
The shortcut buttons for viewing controls and retrying were a much-needed improvement. However, having these inputs permanently mapped gets in the way of mapping other gameplay actions to them. So now you can rebind the shortcuts for Show Controls and Retry, allowing you to more conveniently use those buttons for other actions if you want.

Ability to disable shortcut buttons
Related to the change above, if you don't want to use the shortcuts, you can disable them.

Adjusts time in 8-6
8-6 had a layout change during development, but the goal times weren't updated accordingly, leading to some impossible goals for the level. These have been corrected and should automatically update your score without needing to redo the level.

Adds settings for day/night cycle
You can now adjust some settings related to the day-night cycle. For those who felt blinded by the sun during certain times of day, you can now disable the intense sunlight effect. You can also manually set the time of day and adjust how quickly the day-night cycle progresses (even pausing it if you want to play at a specific time of day all the time).

All great suggestions--thanks!

Hi! I’m Daniel, the developer of Parkour Legends.

Parkour Legends is finally here! I see that some players have already created incredible records in the rankings, which was far beyond my imagination. It's amazing to see you enjoying the game! It's exactly what I was hoping to see--creative feats of impossibly awesome "parkour!". To be honest, some of these scores are better than I could do... if I'm not warmed up ;)

I hope to see the community grow and the competition on the leaderboards intensify! With 280 levels in the game, there's a lot to learn and discover. You can learn from others by using the game's Replay system. After you beat a level for the first time, just hit Pause, go to Replay, and select from any score to watch or race along.

I've been reading all the reviews and gathering feedbacks, so please remember to share your thoughts on the game after you've had a chance to experience it.

Keep parkouring!

Hey everyone! Did you have fun with the demo?

In the last week, I've been fixing some bugs and doing some optimization for the full version, so that you won't get too much pressure in your gameplay in the future. But, I just wanted to quickly wish everyone a happy International Workers' Day!

Parkour Legends is going to be released in 8 days. I feel hyped and also a bit nervous. I'll keep polishing the game right up to launch and beyond, and am grateful to be working with Paras Games for support launching the game in China.

Have a good day!

It's been a long 2 years, but I've finally crossed the finish line on Parkour Legends. I'm so excited for you all to play the final game and compete with each other on the leaderboards. The game releases May 8th 2024 at 6:00 AM EST. See you then!

In the meantime, feel free to check out the updated demo, containing all 24 levels from the first (of 11 total) zones in the game.

And here are the main things that have been added or updated to the final game since the last announcement:

• Completed all 280 levels
  
• New UI and main menu where you can access settings more easily
  
• Replays of your best runs and the ability to race against your best time--or other players' best times!
  
• A handful of performance improvements and settings to help achieve a solid 60 fps if possible
  
• Adds a dedicated retry button to quickly retry a level or go back to the latest checkpoint
  
• Buffing up the Sprint ability: if you press sprint while in air, you'll immediately begin sprinting upon touching the ground. Sprinting also maintains your multiplier, making it easier to earn another sprint if you continue performing well. Finally, sprinting will knock obstacles out of your way. Sprint as often as you can!
  
• The purple star collectibles have been replaced with souvenirs you can view in a gallery
  
• You can control the camera during the Level Preview now to carefully plan your route
  
• Collectibles are only unlocked on level completion, making them more of a challenge and a puzzle to secure
  
• New and improved sound effects for the different surfaces in the levels (grass, dirt, concrete, etc)
  
• 3 voice options
  
• Controller rumble for specific events, like hitting a wall or using adrenaline
  
• A streamer friendly playlist with unlicensed tracks, free of any copyright claims (more songs to come in future updates)
  
• More visual settings (resolution, full screen, v-sync, frame rate cap)
  
• Summary stats for the end of run, such as obstacles cleared, distance traveled, etc
  
• As always, various bug fixes and polish

Hello everyone,

I wanted to give a quick update on the project. I've finished blocking out all the levels. There will be just over 300 main levels in the full game, across over 10 different zones. You use all your parkour skills to overcome the levels as best you see fit, but each zone will focus on introducing and reinforcing a few concepts at a time.

With all the levels mapped out, the game is much closer to launch. However, I need to push the release back to Q1 2024. This will give me time to incorporate feedback I've received from recent playtests, plus polish, test (and re-test) all the levels as one cohesive game.

Thanks for your patience and support along the way. Sorry for the delay, but it's almost done and will be better with the extra dev time!

I'll probably be ready to announce the official release date near the beginning of the new year.

Daniel

Hey, please check out the latest demo! Lots of quality of life updates and some more power behind some of the parkour moves!
