The Bends

I've talked to a few other UE4 devs about this before, but it always seems to circle back to "Is their OBS outdated?" which also feels like blaming the user rather than a in engine solution. I continue to look for ways to fix this, however I recently jumped to UE5, so here's to hoping that nonsense isn't a forward issue. :)
Otherwise, if you do update your OBS and it suddenly runs clean, let me know! I hope you have a good day fam, thanks for checking out The Bends.
Really interesting game and love the narration. I enjoyed this and the visuals of being deep underwater was breathtaking while also being terrifying as the oxygen started to deplete. Only gripe I would say is, the lack of checkpoints as it starts all the way over after any misstep. That would of added to the experience. Overall I enjoyed it, and so everyone should check it out.
Ay, thanks for checking it out fam!
Sorry about the checkpoint thing, it was planned, but I ran out of time during the jam to add it in. I've thought a lot about doing an extended edition that would add other death events, more to explore, a small battle with the spider beast, and of course the highly requested respawn system.
I am currently working on a different game called "The Ancient Ones Hate Me" but after I finish that I may return to this and work on the above mentioned changes. If that happens it would be a stand alone title which I will call "The Bends: Iron Lung". <3
Yup I grabbed the regular DL last night thanks.
Hope you get the config for the upload sorted as it means players will log time playing, although not sure if you get access to that statistic.
I notice it does not support Direct Input but only XInput.
If you can add DInput that would be great, but in the meantime I suggest you add a note (at the same time you add the KB+Mouse keys) to the game page suggesting an Xbox controller emulator such as "x360ce".
BUGS:
It didn't take me too long to get stuck in the scenery on the front of a rock-face so when I hit ESC assuming I would go back to the menu, I was surprised to see the game close.
Going back to the menu needs to be prioritised over the options menu content, but hopefully any update see both.
As a multimonitor user I had big problems using mouse and KB as the mouse is not bound to the screen so keeps ending up opening or activating things on my other monitor.
Impressive content. I did check out the game, although there was a problem with options and the recording program kind of gave up on me, which was sad, because I really wanted to post the game's playthrough.
Neat looking environment. Definitely, better to be played on big screen using joypad and I highly recommend everyone to check out this masterpiece. Good Look on future development.
