Update 1.1 for ArtFormer: Ancient Stories includes a better tutorial, enhanced controls for disabilities, and other QoL improvements

From Press Release:

Prague, April 12, 2022 – Indie Game Studio Buffa Software unveils details about Update 1.1 ArtFormer: Ancient Stories.

Update 1.1 is out now!

ArtFormer offers an equal gameplay for players with upper limb disabilities. Because of this, it has specific controls. After the release of the game, we found that some gaming journalists failed to understand the unconventional method of control and its benefits. Therefore, we decided to implement an animated, clearer tutorial.

The biggest change in this update are brand new tutorials for almost every aspect of the controls of the game. New tutorial for interaction, basic movement, ladders or climbing will help to the new players with better jump-in to the magical world of ArtFormer.

Climbing is easy

Climbing a ladder can be tricky, like in the real world.
In each tutorial, you will find an animated sequence with your character and keyboard and controller controls explained. Our layout is friendly for people with handicap who can control the game with one hand only.

What else?

And it is of course not the only thing in this update. We fixed and optimalised graphics for even better performance, fixed a few typos in dialogue lines etc.
