In this update, the focus was on improving the gameplay and game mechanics. I made sure it returned to being as I envisioned it, becoming an immersive game rather than one filled with boring menu screens. I hope you enjoy it, and soon we will have updates with new equipment and services.

• Completely reworked the slot system to use fewer colliders (reduced from 42 colliders to 1 collider per rack) to accept racks and equipment of different sizes and to make the installation more immersive. To remove an object from a slot, you need to hold the right mouse button;
  
• Reworked the door models;
  
• Reworked the cable bay models in the server room;
  
• Optimized global illumination for better performance when active;
  
• Optimized the cable system for better performance and more appropriate visuals;
  
• Removed the operation mode switch (mount/normal);
  
• Removed the exit computer button, now to exit the computer you must hold the right mouse button;
  
• Reworked the player interaction system with an interactive area indicator around the crosshair and holding the right mouse button when available;
  
• Inventory moved to the TAB key;
  
• Minor fixes and improvements.

Hello Detectives!

We're thrilled to be just one week away from the official launch of Uncover the Smoking Gun! As we make final preparations, we need to perform a crucial update to ensure the game meets the highest quality standards before launch.

Maintenance Notice:

Date:
2024.06.17 KST
Time: 6 PM KST / 9AM UTC+0
Duration: 5 hours or more
During this time, access to the game (Demo) may be temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to bring you the best possible experience.

Thank you for your patience and support!

Edit: Anyone who had enabled "Skip Dialogue" can now also join in on the bug-fix-fun below.

Greetings from the void. We've brought you...a major bug fix for the boss fights!

Let's have a nice, big shout-out to the hero who sent us such kind and detailed feedback regarding this issue. (Applause)

And remember: You too can be kind and detailed...when you press the Report Bug button today, found on the Main Menu of the game. Do let us know of any strange issues you encounter while playing. We'll do our best to fix them quickly.

• Major Fix: Retrying from the Game Over screen will now return you to the main menu, where you can click "Continue" to try the fight again. This will fix many potential issues.

• Fix: Enemy attacks that hit 2+ targets will no longer cause issues if there are no additional targets to hit.
• Fix: Choosing “End” in the Game Over screen will now properly check the max Relic level for the Demo.
• Fix: Can no longer select an Emblem at the end of an Advantage Room.
• Fix: Can no longer open the Relic while viewing the map from an Advantage Room.
• Fix: Can no longer select nodes while the Relic is open on the map.
• Fix: Adjusted Map 1 Room 2 to prevent a possible tutorial error.
• Fix: Adjusted Opening Skip button.
• Balance: Emblems that gain a level from Fortuna’s “Amends” attack will no longer gain Vit.
• Polish: Minor text edits.

• Added script command "Control/Display", Change resolution and main area

GAMEPLAY ADDITIONS

• 4 unique New Game+ playthroughs have been added with different waves of enemies for each as well as more unique and difficult boss fights
  
• Added 2 new bosses and made the secret boss actually secret
  
• 5 new items (Check gameplay changes)

BUG FIXES

• fixed a bug where opening the steam overlay would make the game freak out

QOL CHANGES

• You can now increase AND decrease volume instead of having to wrap back to 0
  
• Volume increases and decreases by 1 instead of 10 now (you can still press the volume rather than move left and right to increase by 10)
  
• Changed colours of certain enemies and items for visual clarity
  
• particles now fade away faster for visual clarity
  
• added the controls of the game to the first level (this shows keyboard and controller controls depending on which you're using)
  
• Items now show text telling you what that item/upgrade does when you purchase them.
  
• ENEMIES NO LONGER WRAP AROUND THE SCREEN AND DEAL STUPID ANNOYING DAMAGE!!!
  (There's likely other minor changes I'm forgetting)

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

• made the base game a bit easier to account for New Game+
  
• completely reworked how items and the shop work.
  
• Items in the current shop no longer go up in price after you purchase one
  
• added 5 additional items to adjust for the removal of the item combo system
  
• adjusted the speed of certain enemies to increase difficulty and give the "Speed" item a purpose
  
• "Fumes" item now moves around the screen slowly rather than being stationary
  
• "Puddle" now acts more like a trail you leave behind your frog as you move
  
• Adjusted some enemy behaviours

MINOR CHANGES

• Changed the background on the opening screen
  
• Added steam stats for enemies/bosses killed, deaths and won runs!
  
• 4 new achievements!

VERY SMALL UPDATE, OPTIMIZATION.

PATCH NOTES-

- OPTIMIZED MUSIC FILES, game is now only 1.2 gigs instead of 2 gigs. Bloat from music in game should be reduced, and any audio glitches should be fixed.
- Enemy bullets create blood splatter when hitting another enemy
- Jumping on a snail shell has a better range of pitches than before to reduce repetition.

Been researching other Windows outputs, so expect more performance improvements in the future.

Book of Korvald is OUT NOW on Steam! Book of Korvald tells the saga of a Norse scribe, and his alliance with a parasitic eldritch entity. Join forces with beautiful warrior nuns, sexy mythical figures and lustful interdimensional creatures to prevent our world from being devoured. Can you contain your sexual urges and fight to survive?



Book of Korvald tells the saga of a Norse scribe, and his alliance with an eldritch entity named "Qhroth'un".

History does not tell us that Norse clans had scribes of their own. Their folklore is said to have been preserved through oral traditions exclusively, but this is not the truth. Many written sagas were damaging to the reputation of royal families and expository to the church. So these writings, along with their authors, were aggressively purged from existence. Korvald was one such scribe.


Korvald's is not a tale of heroism and justice, but of deceit and suffering provoked by powerful religious empires and unseen cosmic forces. His story begins as so many are ended. Family slain and taken from his now destroyed village, Korvald is branded as a heretic and seemingly condemned to death. The true purpose of his capture and torment are part of a much bigger and far more sinister agenda. In his darkest hour, Korvald is approached by Qhroth'un and an agreement is made that will change everything...



- Over 50 different female characters complete with sexual encounters. All raw, hot and fully animated.




Maps / Environments / Areas:
- Each chapter takes place across an entire country, spanning over 30 areas. Starting in Denmark near the city of Ribe, drawing inspiration from the conversion to Christianity that took place around the 9th century in Scandinavia.

Weapons:
- 200+ different weapons to find or buy from various shops. Axes, Swords, Maces, Whips, Spears, Flails, Daggers, Shields, and Books (yes books).

Artifacts:
- 30+ different artifacts and special off-hand weapons to equip. You could raise the dead Templar knights as zombie minions, inflict plagues on nearby enemies, and even cause certain NPCs (and even some enemies) to strip naked (because... why not?).

Runes:
- Korvald will discover the true meaning and origin of runes and runestones. Utilizing his unique insight into this powerful language, he will gain the ability to harness many destructive and helpful forces. Unleash flaming cyclones, lightning storms, arctic blizzards, healing waters and even summon eldritch creatures to aid you in combat.
