Changelog

BETA 4

  • Re-factored the rendering pipeline. This has improved speed and gotten rid of the shearing effects on the right of the screen, as well as several graphical glitches.
  • Game too dark? Added a gamma correction setting to the OpenTyrian menu.
  • Some of the keyboard textures have changed. If upgrading from a previous version, you will need to re-copy the 'PSP' sub-folder into your Tyrian folder.

BETA 3

  • Completely re-factored the virtual keyboard. It is now Tyrian-themed and sits beside the main screen when active.
  • The virtual keyboard will auto-activate when a text-entry field is active, and close once text is entered.
  • If you are upgrading from a previous version, you will need to copy the 'PSP' sub-folder into your Tyrian folder.

BETA 2

  • Episode 3 ending animation now plays. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you will need to copy the 'ending' subfolder into your Tyrian folder.

BETA 1

  • Major sound quality improvements.
  • Replaced generic button names with PSP button names in Joystick Options.
  • Removed the do-nothing mouse cursor from various screens.
  • Added a Special Modes menu to the main menu for activating Super Arcade and SuperTyrian without a keyboard.
  • Removed two-player modes from new game screen, as they are beyond the scope of this project.
  • All difficulties are selectable by default to compensate for lack of a keyboard to enter their unlock codes.
