Photographs Patch Notes — October 15, 2019
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Photographs v 1.1
Honestly, I wasn't too sure about this patch. One commonly requested feature was some sort of integrated hints, but because they puzzles in the game sort of tell the story I was a bit wary of short-circuiting that. Also, sometimes I find if a game tries to say something like 'maybe you want to decrease the difficulty?' It's a bit like kicking you when you're down.
So I added a little hint system which will just give you a nudge in the right direction, it can be set to always on / always off however your prefer, and the default is 'dynamic' -- I've gone through the puzzles and based on how hard the puzzle is set a delay before a hint becomes available which I hope is the best of both worlds.
Still, more and more I believe that Photographs is a narrative game and not puzzle game so It shouldn't be completely gated by puzzle difficulty, so I added the ability to skip puzzles too. Again, it can be always on/always off or dynamic
Anyway, I hope that helps and if I've terribly broken anything, drop by the discord and let me know! http://discord.gg/EightyEightGames
