Hey der

V1.3 of episode 1 is coming out soon. I'll just run through the changes.

Voice

I've taken off the voice. AI voices are not the future and I don't want to be seen as advocating them. If you like the synth voices, V1.2 is perfectly functional.

Gameplay

Keyboard
The keyboard shortcuts are now WASD. This was implemented after I watched a kid play the game and instinctively he went to use those keys. I've set out the GUI so that it's clear which verbs are triggered. It looks pretty elegant in my opinion.

Inventory
Also, when you click on an item now, the item becomes your cursor. So it is clear what item you have active when you're trying to interact with other items.

Walking and Speech Speed
The characters walk faster and talk faster. This is only going to enhance my reputation as the next Aaron Sorkin. It also is just a better user experience.

Reason(s) this version isn't live 

1. I have ideas for an "in-joke-a-tron" or similar concept, so that you can maybe press a key and get an explanation on each screen of what the actual jokes are. As we all know, jokes are not funny until explained in great detail.

2. I might actually incorporate some of the graphical style from Hey Der Undy 2. Obviously, I want consistency once it's all done, so maybe I'll start now. I may not, but there is part of me that resents using assets (albeit legally purchased and used) created by others. 

I would rather collaborate with friends than anonymously with strangers. Not that I minded supporting their great software!

V1.3 will be out within the next 5 days!
