Sin Spire – Beta Build 0.5

Hello everyone! This is release 0.5. Quite the jump from 0.1, but a lot has been done. A large number of bugs have been fixed, and there have been quite a few general improvements. A lot of the bugs were long-standing issues that never got addressed, but thanks to you guys sending me reproduction steps, I was able to squash most of them. There are only a handful of bugs left, though a few of these I’ve already accepted will end up in the final release.

On the topic of release, the game is still in Steam Build Review. The initial review failed due to some rather minor issues. I’ve sent off another review build; I’m just hoping that goes smoothly. It took almost two weeks to get minor feedback, so I’m hoping the next review is quicker. If it ends up taking just as long, I’ll have to consider delaying the full release further than I had planned.

Anyway, this isn’t a dev log – it’s a release post. Don’t expect any new content; as mentioned, that hasn’t been my priority. Right now, the only new pieces of content are Ophelia’s sex scene, and some of Savina’s lines that were missing voice recordings are now voiced.

Audio levels are still a bit messy, and you can easily tell which recordings are the newer ones. I have also replaced the recording of the “leave” ending at the request of Xeraphina, who wanted to give it another try. So, there’s that to check out as well.

The game now has full controller support; there shouldn’t be anything that doesn’t work with a gamepad. While I did mention performance improvements in the last dev log, the Steam Deck still struggles in the forest area, dropping below 30 FPS most of the time. I’ll have to give it another look, but Steam Deck support is more of a bonus than a requirement. If push comes to shove, I just won’t officially support it. Outside of the forest, everywhere else seems fine.

Anyway, if you’re just looking for new content, feel free to skip this build. Unless a major bug appears, this will likely be the last build before release. Then again, considering how often new issues crop up, I’m not holding my breath. Regardless, hope you enjoy.
