Small update pushed out today linking Discolored 2 on the main menu and replaces some graphics in the end scene teasing Discolored 2.

Hi everyone,

Hope you are well! Discolored - Episode 2 is officially announced! It took a bit longer to get everything ready (typical of game development) but finally I can start showing off what to expect in Episode 2!


View the Steam page for Episode 2!



Check out the game's Steam page (link above) where you can view the trailer and screenshots and if you like what you see it would really help if you could wishlist the game (please). :) Steam keeps track of how quickly and how many wishlists a game gets and if the numbers are high enough it will show the game to more people that browse Steam. In turn hopefully that will lead to the game doing well and I can continue to expand the world of Discolored.

This game will build out the story more and you will run into a couple of characters that can help or harm you in your quest to restore the missing colors. It will play mostly the same as Episode 1 with reality-bending puzzles, an atmospheric soundtrack, and a striking color palette. But there will also be more intense moments where you have to think on your feet because in this episode the evil organization that has stolen all the colors are trying to stop you from bringing them back.

Want to play the demo? If you'd like to take part in a beta test of the demo join the mailing list[www.jasongodbey.com] or Discord[discord.com] and I'll be sending out news later with instructions on how you can sign up to play the demo and give feedback. So sign up and stay tuned!
[www.jasongodbey.com][discord.com]Right now I can't give a firm release date on when Episode 2 will be completed. I want to make this game much longer than the first episode. If I had to give a timeframe it might be another year and a half before Episode 2 is complete. But it's game dev, so it could be even be longer. But I'm really excited about the ideas I have for this one so I won't be giving up on it and I'll do everything I can to make it best game it can possibly be!

Trading cards are also now available for Discolored! You might have already noticed some in your Steam inventory. Enjoy!


Thank you,
Jason


P.S. I'd love to hear what you think based on what you see on the Steam page. Feel free to reply to this thread to share your thoughts!

This update fixes the lag that sometimes occurred when picking up items. It still might show up in a couple of areas, but for the most part should be a lot better than it was.

When the Speedrun Skips option is checked in the Settings menu the game will skip auto-saving when picking up items in the game. This is to avoid any lag that might occur during an auto-save when picking up items. The game will still auto-save at the beginning of a level with this option checked.

Saving the game manually still works as it previously did.

A patch was just released updating the Unity engine version along with some plugins to address cursor and input issues reported by some players.

Hi everyone,

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

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.
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. :)

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. 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

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

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
