👍New week, new JKR update!
This version isn’t super interesting, but a necessary one. It includes some important fixes, QoL, and prep work for Chapter 2, which is not too far away from now!
You can find the full changelog at the bottom of this article. Keep reading if you wanna hear more details about it!
🤔So… what’s interesting about this update?
As we said above, not a lot. But, one feature we can highlight is the “Dynamic FOV” setting!
Showcase of “Dynamic FOV” setting
Normally, the FOV adjusts according to the player's speed. This is to create a cool effect that also works to create a sensation of moving quickly. But, some people might find this effect annoying and distracting, or even nauseating. So, you can now change whether this effect should be turned on or off in the Settings menu!
This version, much like 1.4.2, ALSO contains a good chunk of work behind the scenes in preparation for Chapter 2. (And this is the reason why the file size is 1mb larger than usual. Unacceptable, amirite!?)
🤳Social media game STRONK
Photoshop skills. On display. Frame this and give it to the Louvre and they’d call it a masterpiece.
Trust me.
Our social media game is staying strong. In fact, I’d recommend checking out our “The History of Just Keep Running” series on either TikTok or Instagram. In the series, I (Victor) go through every non-public version of the game from start to finish, and we see how the game progressed through the various months of development before releasing version 1.0.0!
We also try to actively post devlogs documenting our progress on Chapter 2. You can check out the one above for the most recent developments!
👋Come join our Official Discord Server!
Our Discord server is still somewhat active, and you can join if you wanna hang around with us!
The variety of people is broad here. You’ll find people here interested in game development, and even artists, writers, and musicians hanging around, and we want our community to become a kind of hub for all of us creatives to share some really cool ideas with each other!
So, again, if you wanna talk to us and a community of really cool people, please do join! The doors are open to everybody.😊
