-----------------------
Hi Everyone!
We have a tutorial, a WIP game intro cutscene, and persistent saves now in the game! As well as a slew of polish and bug fixes.
A disclaimer for now that the infrastructure for displaying and collecting in-game lore is in the build. But the lore itself is currently not present.
A tip for those installing the newest build over an older build: Delete all the content of the old build before you unzip the new one to avoid any issues.
What's new in the build:
May 27th:
New additions:
- Added a "Skip Cutscene" button to the intro cutscene.
- There's a few lines of added VO for the cutscene. But not the whole cutscene yet.
- Added enemy dialogue to cultists who now tease and taunt the Bindmancer.
- Added a UI element in Dungeons that keeps track of how many Lore Entries you've found per dungeon floor.
Changes or Bug Fixes:
- The tentacle trap puzzle is now more straightforward to solve and the UI is centered at the screen.
- Exit Portal now correctly displays the number of locks associated with the number of prisoners.
- The exit portal teleport item now only can be collected once per floor, as you only needed one per floor.
- Bindmancer no longer has their eye-sprite floating in space when stunned.
- Camera draw-out on suspended prisoners now doesn't happen instantly.
- Lore Pillars in Floor 2 and 3 work better now.
- Removed some UI from the tutorial level that's not needed.
May 20th:
- Added a WIP of the game intro cutscene which establishes the context of the quest.
- Added a new and short tutorial level that helps tech how to play the game.
- The game now has a "Continue" option at the title screen if you have prior gameplay progress and stats such as the number of prisoners and lore pieces collected in each floor is now saved permanently. This can be erased by selecting "New Game"
- Changed the in-dungeon dialogue display for prisoners. It's more dynamic now and less buggy.
- Fixed the cultists sometimes not despawning their sprites upon defeating.
- Lots of little visual gameplay tweaks to make it more clear you've successfully interacted with objects like lore pillars.

Requirements & How to Install:
- Playable on a PC using a Windows OS.
- The game will boot up full screen and set to your monitors native resolution.
- You can now change the resolution in the options menu to an adjustable windowed mode where you can set it to your preference.
To Install It:
- Download the zip file
- You MUST unzip all the contents of the zipfile to any folder. The game cannot run from inside the zipped file.
- Windows can unzip it by itself. You don't need to download any third party software like WINRAR.
- You can run the demo by entering the unzipped folder and double clicking on the file named: Kinky Dungeon Project
Common Install Issues:
- Delete all prior files from previous versions / public demo if you're installing to the same folder location.
- If you don't unzip the contents of the folder, you can't play the game.
- If the game opens and then closes without a screen showing, that's typically a graphic driver issue, update your graphics cards drivers and restart your pc.
- Unity games don't like being placed in folders deeply nested in multiple folders. This is due to long file directory names messing with Unity. 3 to 5 folders deep is fine. More and it gets wonky.
- If controls don't respond = It's probably a controller you have plugged into or connected to your computer. Remove it to use Keyboard controls.
Key Info for Linux Users:
You'll need to add an executable permissions to the file 'Bindmancer_2022_05_27.x86_64' to get it to run. The following commands should do the trick:
cd /path/to/the/extracted/files
chmod 100 Bindmancer_2022_05_27.x86_64.x86_64
./'Bindmancer_2022_05_27.x86_64.x86_64'
