Matter News — August 8, 2019
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
First of all we would like to thank all our fans who gave us a lot of very interesting feedback on Steam and Discord, whether it be bugs, qualitative feedback, or flow improvements for the speedrun....
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Here is a non-exhaustive list of all the changes that have been made since the game was first released in December 2018, for this update entitled :
Matter Pulse Update!
- Complete redesign of the "Reverse" function (right mouse click) which now instantly returns to the last platform or bubble.
- Added a light air control, allowing to influence the jump trajectory thanks to the movement buttons during a jump or any air phase.
- Improvement of the entire Level Design for a better game flow
- A lot of CPU optimization
- An ingame menu, containing: graphic options, display preferences, the ability to redefine keyboard/mouse and gamepad controls.
- Improved smoothing of the camera movement, which can even be completely disabled in the options menu
- A Save with the ability to restart at any chapter already unlocked via the main menu
- The vibrations of the gamepad
- Added the "Pulse" effect on the red line that runs through the different levels, in rhythm with the music, guiding you through the darkest moments....
- Modification of the behaviour of the "shuttle" platforms, which are now more reactive and await us, particularly in the "Roller Coaster" part of the first level
- Improved visual effects for propulsion and landing on platforms for even more immersion
- Fixed couuuuuuuuuuuuuuntless bugs!
- Added "Join Community" and "Send feedback / report a bug" buttons in the main menu, to facilitate the exchange with developers and improve your game experience!
And because we plan to improve your experience on Matter even more, here is a non-exhaustive list of the new features we would like to introduce for the next updates:
- Fix many more small bugs
- More graphic optimization
- Best graphic quality settings
- A "Dynamic" graphics quality mode that adapts in real time to computer performance

PS: Oh, we almost forgot.... We are currently working on a new game, which will reuse some of Matter's mechanics... like gravity for example!
His name is JANGA! We will start developing it with the community from September 2019, so feel free to add it to your wish list to be kept informed of its progress! The 3 days prototype is available NOW!
