Alpha Release - 2020.7

Hi everyone,

It's been great to have our little community start to form over the last couple of days since release.

I've just released a new build of Downhill, which is mostly bug-fixes, but also featuring the reintroduction of the custom camera, now bound to left on the d-pad.

You can use the custom camera to pause the game and move the view around, so you can get the best screenshots. If you press left on the d-pad again, the game will unpause. To reset the camera, hold the left d-pad button.

Bugs fixed in this build:

• Players can no longer ride on the grass on Mt Decent
• Players can no longer accelerate up steep surfaces
• Wind noise now changes with speed

I've also started investigating multiplayer support, but that will be a few updates away yet.

You can download this update a few different ways:

• If you claimed your copy with an Itch account you can download from the store page or through the Itch.io app (recommended since it auto updates!)
• Otherwise, you will need to find the email Itch sent you when you bought the game and access the download page through there. You can resend the email if necessary, but I recommend you make an account and claim your copy to save trouble!

If you haven't already, make sure to join the Discord to chat with me directly, stay up to date and participate in the community time trial competition! The link is on the download page.

Thanks everyone for your continued support :)

P.S: You might notice the builds have been released as version 2020.7. This is to keep them inline with my internal versions, and to make it easier to refer to them, as previously the Mac and PC version numbers were out of sync.
