First of all, I want to give a big thank you from myself for your continued support on Inertia, Inertia was my first solo project and one that was designed for the sole purpose of being a simple game that had a skill gap but was enjoyable to play for everyone.

Over the past year and a half, I have made various changes based directly on community feedback, in some cases making major changes to movement and/or adding entirely new mechanics. I have taken into account both positive and negative reviews and tried to make changes where I saw a benefit.

Recently I have been teasing with the idea of creating a new project which would be loosely based around the Inertia world, with that in mind I would love to hear any feedback from Inertia’s community to take into account.

• What would you improve from Inertia?
  
• Are there any features, mechanics, etc that you feel are out of place within Inertia, or you would like to see in a follow up?
  
• Would you like to see more short levels, more longer levels and/or an open world?
  
• Any specific game-modes you feel like Inertia missed out on?

Thank you all for continuing to enjoy playing Inertia!

Misc

• Overhauled achievement granting method for level completion - achievements are now given for entire collections when every level has been completed, achievements are also now granted for completing X amount of levels as intended.
  
• Added Loneminded intro.
  
• Modified intro display methods.

v1.18 will be rolling out later today (18/04) and will include the following changes. Mostly made up of quality of life changes that I felt were necessary to the future of Inertia.


Movement

• Removed walking completely, runner now defaults to 650u/s without holding an input for sprint.

Levels

• Removed 'Unify' from speedrun mode.
  
• Updated Playground level to include wallrun decals.
  
• Made slight material changes to a couple of levels.

UI

• Added a difficulty rating to the level selection menu.
  
• Added level art for speedrun levels.

Misc

• Both speedrun levels should now be unlocked by default.
  
• Both speedrun levels should now correctly upload leaderboard scores to the individual levels as well as to the master leaderboard upon completion of the level.
  
• All levels are now unlocked by default. (it's worth noting that levels do get progressively harder so new players are still recommended to play from level #1.)

Elements

• Overhauled 'Slicer' element.
  
  • Being the source of multiple timer related issues, the slicer level element has now been overhauled.
    
  • Slicer element no longer kills players if they end up underneath it.
    
  • Slicer no longer acts on a loop, it now works more like a door which will open once the player enters it's radius.
    
  • The idea is that it now acts as a temporary deterrent, rather than a blockage. The previous random factors of the element subtracted from consistency.

Introducing Speedrun Mode

• Speedrun mode is a new game-mode for Inertia, where individual level timers are replaced with a global timer for each collection.
  
• The global timer is paused upon loading and resetting levels does not reset the timer (Unless it's the first level of the collection).
  
• The global timer is not paused when the game is paused.
  
• This mode completely disables the 'Complete' UI and walking through EndVolumes will automatically trigger the next level to start.

Elements

• Zipline
  
  • Zipline now takes the player's velocity into account when calculating the speed of the zipline.
    
  • Zipline will now apply the correct velocity when letting go.
    
  • Zipline now sweeps collision to check if anything was hit, and will let go if it was.
    
  • Letting go of the zipline now applies previous velocity, meaning you fall like you should instead of falling straight down.
    
  • The consistency of letting go is now far higher than v1.03.
    
  • Moved Zipline achievement out of the main zipline thread, it shouldn't have been there in the first place.
    
  • Added a clamp for MaxExitSpeed of Zipline, at 1200u/s.
    
  
  
• Collapsing Platform
  
  • Default TimeUntilCollapse is now 0.3 seconds, down from 0.6 seconds.
    
  • Default ReactivateTime is now 0.6 seconds, down from 2.0 seconds.
    
  
  
• Death Volume
  
  • Contrary to the name, the death volume will now send players to the beginning of the level instead of killing them.
    

Audio

• Soundtrack no longer resets when restarting the same level, though it will change when starting a new level.

Options/UI

• Added Crosshair UI.
  
• Added UI option - Show/Hide Crosshair.

Input

• 'Fast Restart' now sends player back to the beginning of the level instead of completely restarting.
  
• Mouse is no longer locked to the viewport after tabbing out.

Levels

• Level #23: Classics - Changed geometry of blocking walls.
  
• Level #30: Classics - Fixed wallrunning on side walls.
  
• Level #14: Classics - Added missing Wallrun pathing.

Misc

• Changed method of giving achievement for 'Like A Speed Demon'
  
• Optimised stopwatch UIs.
