Happy birthday to Primordia! Today marks 11 years since its release!! And we have worked on a big patch.
A list of specific follows below, but I'd like to prefacing it by saying, that we love your support and your encouraging words over the years. Myself and Mark have constantly put work into Primordia primarily to reward the players for their faith in us and in the game, inherently. I hope everyone has a wonderful time playing the game during the holiday season, that's almost upon us. Thank you so much, I can't stress that enough!! We love you!

Primordia Patch Notes:

1)
Ctrl-G now switches between MOUSE/KEYBOARD to skip speech and MOUSE/SPACE.
Essentially this means when the only keyboard key that will work is space and any mouse click will also skip
the dialog/speech lines
2)
Re-arranged options/settings in the OPTIONS/SETTINGS UI, so that they make more sense.
3)
Added OPTIONS/SETTINGS on the Main Menu Screen [bottom right, there's a cog/gear]
4)
Added an extra option that defines whether mouse/keyboard/time is how dialog/speech progresses
or mouse/keyboard meaning it will remain till the player clicks or hits a key.
5)
Added an extra option for text, which is Voice Only. Any voiced lines that are difficult to read
or like boops or bleeps, will still appear on screen, but this essentially allows players to play the
game, without text visually appearing on the screen.
6)
The game has been upgraded to 3.6.0.50 version of the engine, saves will not break to our testing,
but in case they do end up breaking, you can revert to the previous version of the engine.
The reason why we change to this version, is because it fixes a lot of visual issues and compatibility issues
with input devices [mice and keyboard]. It also allows the game to run at more likely a desired and proper
resolution for the player.
7)
Fixed the infamous issue with the "Three Musketeers" and "We're all in this together" achievements.
8)
Fixed an issue with Crispin disappearing.
9)
Now settings persist through saves [meaning your settings will now be the same for all your saves]

If you want to revert to the older Primordia:
GOG GALAXY-> Primordia -> The customise button right of your play button->
Manage installation-> Configure -> Installation -> Automatically update to newest version [untick it] -> Select the previous version (3.0a) and you're set!
