Hey guys! Refunct Update 9 is now live which adds better water reflections, 6 new achievements, 11 new languages and more:
- Added lit and shadowed real-time planar water reflections on at least medium and especially ultra effects quality settings (not supported on Linux)
- Added 6 achievements
- Added Arabic (not supported on Linux), Bulgarian, Czech, European Portuguese, Greek, Hungarian, Japanese, Romanian, Thai, Traditional Chinese and Ukrainian localization
- Added right-to-left UI layout support for Arabic
- Improved some existing localizations
- Improved outro text quality
- Fixed maintaining velocity when walljumping off of the very top of objects
- Fixed resetting language to default on macOS and Linux
- Tweaked automatically detected quality settings
- Tweaked alternate outro text criteria
- Tweaked selecting first played music on startup
Achievements
Of the new achievements there are 3 which add additional questions asked from the collected cubes which will be automatically awarded if you start Refunct on a completed save.
The other 3 achievements are about finishing Refunct under a certain completion% and in specific times adding challenge while still being very fair for those wanting to experience the depth of the movement system and introducing different ways to play Refunct. They were added due to high demand for replayability after getting 100% Refunct in-game and to make sure that Refunct has the same features on Steam compared to the recently released Xbox One version.
I am sorry for those that might feel temporarily robbed of one of their "Perfect Games" due to adding those achievements post-release so if you are not able to complete them please feel free to send me a mail to the address found on the support page so I can unlock them for you.
Speedrun
Also consider joining the Refunct speedrun community and challenge yourself further by submitting your recorded runs to the official leaderboard where you can see some cool tricks and optimal routes which may be helpful for getting the achievements.
Conclusion
Hopefully adding those completely optional achievements and other improvements like better reflections adds more value to you guys. Additionally Refunct is now available in all 27 languages currently supported by Steam thanks to the translations done by this awesome community.
Your continued support and understanding is very appreciated. Take care!
