Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 1.2.9
Little bug fixes. Little changes. Changed the controller glyphs for Xbox and PlayStation control layouts. Enemies that require multiple button presses to shoot now show LB and RB on Xbox, and L1 and R1 on PlayStation. These used to say L and R for all layouts. Fixed a bug with the options button glyph not showing up properly in the tutorial when selecting languages other than english. Fixed a bug where the mouse cursor would remain on screen even if you were playing with gamepad controls. This was especially annoying on Steam Deck, imo.Read full article on Community Announcements (RatCasket)AnnouncementsOfficial
TYPECAST is Steam Deck Verified!
Good news! TYPECAST is now Steam Deck verified! You can finally play this game, which has TYPE in the title, which was originally designed to be played with a full keyboard, with full gamepad support and exactly 0 typing! Wow! To celebrate this mild achievement I have discounted the game by 75% for the next week. Please enjoy. Please make several purchases for yourself, your friends, and your enemies.Read full article on Community Announcements (RatCasket)Patch NotesOfficial
Patch 1.2.8
Hello. It has been a while since the last patch. Time flies when you get a new job and a new baby, so forgive me for the delay. Or don't. Just do whatever you feel is right. Here are the changes. Bugs Fixed gamepad display for the tutorial to show the correct options button icon. Fixed bugs with some of the enemies incorrectly displaying keyboard keys instead of gamepad buttons when playing with a gamepad. Fixed bugs with some enemies not getting shot with the correct button press. Balance Changed how the spawn rate difficulty option works. It should be much more noticeable when you change the spawn rate, and the game can generally be made much easier for new players by setting this to slower speeds. Reduced the possible number of keys that could appear over the head of some enemies for both gamepad and keyboard input modes.OtherChanged the Discord link to my new Discord url.Read full article on Community Announcements (RatCasket)Patch NotesOfficial
Lil Patcha - 1.2.7
Hey sorry I was gone so long. Life sucked for a little bit, not that it's an excuse to not update (or even really look at) the game you fine folks have purchased (or considered purchasing (purchase it (now))). Here are some bug fixes. - Fixed Steam leaderboards. These work again. Sorry about that. - Fixed some bugs with text being drawn on top of other text in some option menus. - Fixed some bugs with text not being drawn at all on the leaderboards page. There are still some bugs with localization text that I'm getting ironed out. Stay tuned.Read full article on Community Announcements (RatCasket)Patch NotesOfficial
