Version 1.3 BETA Launch


I have been meaning to make a significant update to this game for awhile, but I did not get around to it because I totally got busy and definitely did not just forget. Nevertheless, version 1.3 is out, and here are some of its changes and additions:

  • Saving progress has now been added by pressing up near a checkpoint flag. 
  • The flight controls have been reworked to allow for more precision, specifically to make the "Trials of the French Fly" more manageable. 
  • Jump height for the high jump is now based on how long you hold jump rather than being fixed, allowing for more precision.
  • Gravity for the player has been reduced slightly, making platforming slightly easier.
  • Controller support has been improved, remapping the bomb to the LB button from Y, as well as now supporting movement with the left analog stick.
  • Slight optimizations to the map that could improve performance on VERY low end computers (although I haven't tested this game on a computer that can't run it so not 100 percent sure).
  • The dash ability's attack has been fixed so that it no longer fails to kill enemies on direct hits.
  • The full-screen scaling has been updated to use integer scaling to reduce pixel shimmering (may not fill the screen on every monitor but it appears to be sufficient on what I have tested.
  • Probably other stuff too maybe

Two quick notes before I wrap this up:

Over the course of changing the game for this update, I have played through it at least ten times in order to test changes and try to find problems. From that time, I feel reasonably confident in saying that no new problems have been introduced in 1.3, but just in case the new additions cause issues (the save system being what I worry about the most), I am labelling 1.3 as "BETA" for the time being. Version 1.2 is still available for those who prefer it.

Secondly, this game has been developed mostly in Clickteam Fusion 2.5, which was the only engine I was using at the time due to its simple interface and event system. However, since I released this game in 2022, many applications made with the software seem to be being detected as viruses by some antivirus software, such as Windows Security, in my experience. This includes version 1.2 of Reptilian Wrestle. I have attempted to address this with 1.3 by unpacking the .exe file and compressing the game as a 7z archive, but this may not address the issue entirely. I apologize for the inconvenience, but considering that there have been no updates to Clickteam Fusion 2.5 for over a year, and given that I could not find any feasible workaround, there may not be a fix to this in Reptilian Wrestle. I just wanted to say this so you would know that this is a problem that is not uncommon in Clickteam Fusion games, and that a virus warning does not mean that Reptilian Wrestle or many other Clickteam Fusion games are infected. 

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the update!
