If anyone needs a Steam key shoot me a message!

I've been at work on a pretty large patch that I'm hoping to get done for the summer sale season and it's finally about far along enough for some public testing. (The UI is still a mess, but that'll get fixed eventually)

Here is a quick overlook on what is in this update
-Merged in the unused art from Chester United
-Overhauled the Style system. There are now candies that you can find in levels/drop from enemies that will change your style for a short period of time. Each planet has one candy that will show up the most and that you'll unlock when you clear it.
-Overhauled the Special Attack charging system. It is now charged by catching stamps launched by enemies or by your shots. Catching stamps now also doubles their value, but missing them gets them all dirty and makes them worth less. (I'll be overhauling the actual special attacks in a future update)
-New rendering should provide sharper visuals on higher resolution displays.
-Improved camera tracking system that should improve support for more display ratios.
-Slight adjustments to a few levels and level order

I'm planning on doing a UI overhaul and I'm in the process of rescanning all of the original drawings to create higher resolution sprites, but I'm not sure if those two things will make it into this patch.

If you encounter any bugs (99.9% chance) let me know, and thanks for the time!

To access the alpha build right click Chester One on your Steam Inventory->Properties->Beta->enter code "chesteralpha"
You might need to restart Steam to trigger the update.

My game kept crashing on the first level (I literally could not take a step), but I am going to get a new laptop soon to see if that changes things.

Well that's not a good start! Must be a missing sound file, gonna test out on another machine to see if I can trigger it.

~It's a neverending Chesteeeeer~

Was able to test it out on a few laptops and couldn't get the step-crash to happen. Did you notice what version it said on startup?
Did find some display bugs though, uploading a patch that should fix some scaling issues if anyone had issues with those.

I always update games when they appear under the download tab. I can't tell you when the last time I tried to play the game was, but I am guessing February or March.

Oh that wasn't with this new test patch? Hopefully I caught whatever that bug was at some point.

Achievements are remaining untouched! Cleaned up the in progress ones to trim it from ~250 to about 100 a few months back, but it'll be staying there.

On Rick's Rage, I hit the checkpoint and seemed to die to nothing, it then changed from graphics to what I assume is bounding boxes. I also could not move and it would just die continuously until I quit.

Thanks, noted!

How does the camera movement feel to you?

It feels really swimmy in a bad way, like going too far forward or up when you jump or move forward fast and has to recenter super quickly.

Was worried it might be a little too mobile. The idea is that it locks into place/on track for sections and then jumps to the next when you get to it.

I switched up to a slightly different method with camera triggers in later levels(past the Sketch planet) so it might get a bit more to your taste, but going to look into adding some customization options.

Going to be releasing the original or a sequel for the Switch? I'd love to have a mobile version.

Once I get a few more features and a bit more polish onto Chester One I'm going to be looking to get it onto consoles. That'll probably be a ways off though.

People clapping in the movies is bizarre to me

Everybody stayed quiet in my packed theater with some laughs here and there, and only got noisy after we left the theater. Also one guy loudly complained that we only saw Captain Marvels logo at the post credit scene

I work at a theater so I've seen a wide range of audiences. Some stay completely quiet until the end and some clap every time a new major character appears Captain America, Wakanda theme starts playing cueing Tchalla, etc Honestly I prefer the more hype crowd. Better tippers.

Better tippers? What kind of theater is it?

One that is also a restaurant
