Patch v1.0.4

January 18, 2020 in New Version by Tom

Hi folks!

If you missed it, Lenna’s Inception released on Steam yesterday for $9.99 / £7.19! If you buy it and enjoy it, please remember to leave a review on the store page — it would help us out inordinately, by proving our worth to the almightly Algorithm!

It’s now the day after release, and yep, that means it’s patch time! Lenna’s Inception might be a game about glitches, but some of them are unintended it seems…

Patch v1.0.4 Release Notes

  • Fixed a couple of ways cut-scenes could be interrupted by phone calls and pizza deliveries.
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes randomly returned control to the player during cut-scenes.
  • Fixed some items of the player’s weaponry unintentionally palette-swapping to match the currently-equipped tunic.

A few other issues have been reported to us on Discord — we’ll be addressing them in patches over the coming days.

And of course if you have an issue you would like to report to us, you can report it on our Discord server, or by email.

Frequently Asked Questions

I bought the game on itch.io a while ago, how can I get my Steam key?

We’ve had a few reports of itch.io users who have not been able to claim their Steam keys. We’re looking into the issue!

Edit: if you bought the game on itch.io during beta and are experiencing this issue claiming your key, you need to contact itch support.

How do I set up co-op?

Co-op has to first be enabled in Story Mode:

  1. Player 1 plays through the story until obtaining the Power of Fortitude (about halfway through the first dungeon, 5 minutes into the game).
  2. At that point, player 1 can exit the dungeon and enter the Shadow Temple, pictured below, which is always near the starting town.
  3. Inside the Shadow Temple, activate the altar. A short cut-scene will play out, and end by telling you to plug in a second controller.

You currently need two controllers attached regardless of whether player 1 is using the keyboard. This is something we’ll address in a patch.

How do I set up Steam’s Remote Play Together?

Steam’s new Remote Play Together feature allows you to stream your game to a friend to play “local co-op” remotely, over an Internet connection.

It currently seems like controller input is not being synced from the remote player correctly. We’re investigating the issue! For now, the remote player will need to be playing as player 1, with a keyboard, and the host will need to play as player 2, with a controller!

0.12 and the future

September 20, 2017 in New Version, Screenshots by Tom

Hi everyone! A new version is available today! Also included in this post is some info about future plans for Lenna’s Inception.

v0.12 update

v0.12 is now stable and available for download on itch.io and Humble. As always, you can get it by following these steps.

If you’ve been playing recently on the unstable branch on itch.io, not much will have changed. The ‘unstable’ branch is intended as a preview of the features I’m currently working on. Compared with yesterday’s unstable branch version, the only change in this new version is a handful of bugfixes.

For everyone else, here’s a quick run-down of the new features:

Local co-op

Local co-op has been completely revamped. The second player now controls Shadow Lenna, a character with all the same abilities and stats as Lenna herself.

The beta10 update is now available. It includes new areas, story events, various graphical and map generation improvements, and fixes for some serious bugs affecting Mac users.

Get it here.

See my previous post for the full summary of improvements:

Lenna’s Inception has come a long way in the three months since beta9. Beta10 is almost here, so here’s a quick roundup of screenshots and information I’ve been sharing on twitter!

The storyline has been mostly implemented. Just the endings, and the optional side-quests are missing right now. The laboratory and palace locations have been redesigned and reimplemented, along with hand-designed puzzles you’ll need to solve to get through them.

The laboratory has fallen into disrepair:

Beta8 has landed

December 19, 2015 in Announcements, New Version by Tom

I’ve just pushed the button to release beta8 on itch.io! Humble will get the update as well, after a short delay. To get the update, follow these instructions.

535

It’s past 4 AM on a Saturday morning, so I’ll keep this post short and instead refer back to my previous post for the contents of the update:

I’m currently putting in the last of the new features for beta8 this evening (sound effects for new items, actions and tiles). What’s left after that is fixing the remaining bugs, testing and then releasing the beta8 update! You can see my progress towards the release on my trello board.

As I wrote last month, the new GBA-style graphics won’t be included in beta8, they’ll be in a future update instead. The current plan is for both styles to be available in the final game.

While I’m here, here’s a full list of all the new features in beta8:
