Hey everyone!

What a trip I, Hope has had the past month! I have been chosen as a delegate to the European Union Parliament to showcase innovation in games Sept 4th and 5th in Brussels, Belgium! It's a huge honor and I'm stoked.

But today's news is about a big patch that I just pushed to live - v1.3 "The Collision Update".

All collisions have been completely reworked throughout the entire game. It's a ground-up refactor of Hope's movement and physics, and what it does is unify those two systems into one.

Specifically, people who were frustrated by how cumbersome it was to move objects around will notice that it works AMAZINGLY better now. That was a big point of pain for some players and I hope that we continue to get everyone's love and support as I strive to improve the game. Please write a review if you haven't already!

Lots of love,
Kenny

Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to say that I, Hope is now compatible with the Long Term Support (LTS) version on Unity. This means the game can get updates for up to 2 years without having to change our unity version. It's essential to me being able to continue to do things here and there on the game.

Part of this major update was having to completely redo the controls - it was HUGE! You will notice there is an amount of Edge grace-period that makes platforming WAY more fun and easy. Not only that, but since we're using only physics now, her animations all blend together perfectly. No more jitter inbetween rolls, running, jumping, and walking.

Please let me know if you find any bugs! I need your help!

Thanks everyone for your patience, I'm now happy to report that I, Hope will play on any Windows 7+ PC with DirectX 11+ (graphics cards later than 2011 should be fine).

Please report any problems to me, I'm happy to try to help.

Also, if you have played the game, REVIEW the game! We need as many reviews as possible, and if there's something you'd like to see in the game that would make you recommend it, let me know.
