Happy Arrival Day ????
[p][/p][p]This is Julian from DigiTales. Between Horizons launched two years ago today, and we want to thank you all for your continued support – for playing the game, leaving reviews, and providing feedback. To show our appreciation, we've prepared a big anniversary patch for you![/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42144621/d8ea3e308a9b63936bcf7d242877d48ee3243da3.png"][/img][/p][p][/p]But first...
[p][/p][p]Since Between Horizons was released, we've been very busy here at DigiTales, mostly with developing our third detective adventure From Ruins. It's coming to Steam next year, and you can already wishlist the game right now:[/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4024450/From_Ruins__A_Detective_Adventure/"][/dynamiclink][/p][p]We've also ventured into publishing, and are excited to announce the first title we signed: The Great Sassanelli, an interactive novel about a travelling circus in WWI by Forking Paths Gardening. Coming to PC later this year![/p][p][/p][p][dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/2195490/The_Great_Sassanelli__An_Interactive_Novel/"][/dynamiclink][/p][p]All that being said, we carved out the past few weeks to work on a Between Horizons patch: version 1.3.0 is live now![/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42144621/d8ea3e308a9b63936bcf7d242877d48ee3243da3.png"][/img][/p]Less is more: 2D Mode
[p]With today's update, we are introducing a whole new dimension, or rather lack thereof, to the game: You can now switch between a 2D and a 3D perspective. We had this idea a long time ago when playing around with the in-game camera, but there was no time to add it during production.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42144621/31c95f90f66028630dad4ffd4944153daa1685da.gif"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]We've finally added it today, which entailed a minor rework of all environments in the game, all scripted content etc. to work flawlessly in both modes. This also means that you may notice some tweaks to the 3D version here and there, including some camera-related bug fixes.[/p][p][/p][p]The choice between 2D and 3D is merely down to your aesthetic preference, as there are no gameplay differences between the two. If you ever change your mind while playing, don't worry: you can always switch back and forth in the video settings.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube="wxceUOyNTqY;full"][/previewyoutube][p][/p]Other 1.3.0 improvements
[p]In addition to the new mode, we've been gathering community reports on Steam and Discord since version 1.2.0 came out last year. We are addressing all of them in today's update; see the full patch notes below for a comprehensive overview. As always, please let us know if you have any feedback to share. We also read and appreciate all the reviews, so keep them coming! If you want to see more frequent updates from us, follow along on our socials! [/p][p][/p][p]We hope you enjoy the update.
