Build 8524 Release Notes (Ouya only)
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2013 2:33 pm
People were unhappy with the Ouya because I guess every Ouya game has to have some free to play content, so we added two modes.
1) Demo - This is basically the same as the kickstarter demo, and doesn't have the run mechanic
2) Run prototype - this has the sprint mechanic, but is the same level.
Right now, backers or people who pay $35 to the ouya store get access to #2.
It's a pretty lame difference, but we are going to roll out the enemy prototype soon-ish, which will be some more juicy backer only content.
Doing a proper demo would have been extra work (which is why we didn't have one in the first place), but this is the best quick fix I can think of for the bad publicity we were getting as the only thing on the Ouya store that wasn't free to play... *sigh*
It has some other niceties (like a pause menu) that will be rolled into a future PC build, but right now the menus don't respond to mouse events, so I wouldn't really call them "done". This build is really just an emergency fix because I don't want any bad publicity for the game...
