Abysm today: Prep work for a couple of new achievements, created a demo beta branch, fixed a very minor physics inconsistency, and handled some tech debt.
It's #TrailerTuesday, watch the updated one and play the demo: store.steampowered.com/app/4025180

Abysm today: Hunted for the annoyance bug that I can't repro on my machine since it doesn't seem to be fixed, signs pointing to something related to OS key handling because if I replace the offending key with a different binding it stops being problematic. Sigh.

Abysm today: Small fix to the trailer, got a report about a annoyance on somebody else's computers that's not reproducible on mine, attempted a fix which is yet to be verified. Also started fixing a small usability issue but it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Abysm today: Some tweaks, but mainly added a small feature where if you die, you sometimes leave behind a small pile of bones, leaving the chamber looking like this after a few tries.
