Time flies! I've kept on iterating and improving on smaller things that have come up during the port to Nintendo Switch. I'd say the biggest thing is hopefully fixing the Nugget levels which has been the bane of my existence!
Biggest Fixes
Nugget should hopefully no longer be able to eventually walk off the levels when playing on lower end devices.
Player can no longer "buk buk" when dying.
Players can no longer glitch through a specific edge in Pinecone Village.
Pressing "enter level" when standing next to a book and having the game paused should no longer take you to that level.
Standing on moving platforms could sometimes cause small stutter on the camera when playing on low end devices.
Made sure some enemies no longer play their sounds if they are chasing the player and game is paused.
Barrel cannon enemy will no longer try to attack the player when the player has died.
UI should no longer flicker for a brief moment at the start of the last cutscene in the first world.
A specific screw in a snow level could cause the player to grab on to the ledge of it and spin around, this should no longer happen.
Ledge grab "heigh adjust" code could in rare occasions cause Chick to slide up along a wall. This has been greatly improved.

New year, new patch... or what they say! Found some additional improvements in the process of porting the game to Nintendo Switch. So here is a small list of some of the fixes!
Last level will get a heart once finished (When a level is 100% it will get a heart, last level don't have any collectibles but a heart will now appear once finished).
Hide UI and option to start dialog when certain cutscenes start
Hopefully lowered the risk of rocks getting stuck once thrown on screws (World 3)
Smaller adjustments to objects that clipped through environment or floated above ground
Boss healthbars are visually improved for readability
Falling from a high distance could risk falling through environment when playing on a lower end device, should be improved.

I hope you all get some well deserved break this holiday, and what better is there than to do than PLAY PAPERKLAY?! :D
All jokes aside, in the process of porting the game to Nintendo Switch I've improved on systems and in general taken the time to look over parts of the game.
Changes / Fixes
Camera should be even better at avoiding walls.
Player collision is improved on lower end devices.
Added a flythrough of the hub when you reach a new world, properly presenting it.

Hello everyone!
"Wow another update so fast?" Yeah I'm surprised myself, wasn't planning on dropping it now but Unity announced this morning that more or less everyone had to update their games. Not going to dive into boring details but here we are.
Some things I found while working on the last parts of the Switch port is now coming into the game on Steam.
Changes / Fixes
Added Korean language!
Viewing settings in other languages should now look better (keeping it all on the same row if the words are too long)
Fixed a ground piece that was in the wrong layer (probably not a risk of falling through but still)
Fixed a rare bug when changing language and going back to the stats screen, "teleport to hub" prompt would sometimes not use the new language.
Smaller bugs that occurred when resetting settings to default.
When deleting a save, the controller would vibrate on the highest setting for 1 second (my bad, it was a debug purpose that slipped through)
Whenever I patch PaperKlay and I spend time playing the game I get very happy. I'm glad that I'm looking at PaperKlay with joy. Grateful that people are enjoying it as well. Been seeing some people talk online which is appreciated and helps a ton!

Remix Level Fixes! (Patch v1.0.9)

Hello Egg Collectors!
I hope your summer break have been great! I've managed to find time to update some smaller issues and continued the port for the Nintendo Switch version (are we allowed to talk about that stuff here?).
Either way, for the upcoming console release and future of PaperKlay I wanted to make sure the artwork reflected the tone of the game (for context, the previous artwork was made after working on the game for 5 months, and the full release took almost 3.5 years so the game changed in tone a bit in that time).
Patch Notes:
Floor is lava puzzle should now be more stable when on low framerate.
Fixed small visual issue in last Nugget level.
Cogs on the side of the screen in pause menu are now hidden when not able to be used to avoid confusion.
Secret door in Wool Tower now have collision... forcing you to actually solve the secret.
Changed a platform sequence in the third remix level, this should improve framerate.
Fixed issue where the black shadow below player would sometimes get stuck when jump off a ledge.
This is the "full artwork" but I'll mostly use a version with less characters to make it more readable!
Take care everyone

Steam Deck Verified! Patch 7
Boom! I was waiting for this part. Had to wait a bit with "regular patches" when fixing some last stuff with this patch to get the game verified on Steam Deck. While I'm still trying to "take vacation" for a bit, I do fix some smaller things from time to time. I also want to say

Adventurers!
Some further improvements have been added to the game and even some fixes have been addressed! Let's dive into them right away!
Patch Notes
Cutscenes should properly adjust the volumes based on audio settings.
Current button amount is visible in the outfits and badges tab in the pause screen
Outfit sprites added to the outfit tab
Addressed a small issue where sprint particles could still be playing during cutscenes.
When standing by a book and you don't have enough orbs, they'll shake and change color for further communication to the player that they don't have enough orbs.
Using Alt + Tab should not swap to keyboard input while playing with a controller.
If no major issues are coming up, I will probably focus on console version and vacation for a while. Have a fun adventure everyone!

Hi Egg Hunters!
I've been watching a lot of streams, videos and getting messages from players. Feels really good to hear how fun you guys are having with the game! I myself have been able to relax since the latest patch!
Patch Notes
Increase range for when picking up creatures and throwable stuff.
Increased checkpoint triggers at end of Purring Depths to prevent a small chance of falling forever when respawning.
Improved spawn position when entering levels (used to spawn inside or on top of a book).
Scissors should no longer be able to push player through the ground.
Increased attack range (4 -> 4.4).
Fixed an issue where language wasn't properly set when starting the game.
Dialog fix during last boss battle.
Nugget should no longer be able to fall out of levels.
Row distance in dialogs are increased to prevent bigger fonts from overlapping (Japanese and Chinese languages)
I hope you all are doing great and let me know if you find issues and I'll get to it! :)

Hello again everyone!
TLDR; Camera now behaves more as expected when it comes too close to a wall.
Sorry for these intense patches rolling in so frequently. In a perfect world I'd like to make one big and then breathe out but I think it's important to focus on one thing and get that live. There are new people playing all the time and if one small thing stop them from having a bad time due to technical issues then it's worth it to have these smaller patches.
But with this one I think "the worst is over". Since release I have increased the movement speed, added a sprint, fixed the wall clipping with the player and now improved how the camera acts as well. Sometimes it would also go through the wall. I'm sure in time I'll tweak some small things but players should have a better experience overall.
Patch Notes

Camera avoiding walls is now improved
Collision fixes in Snow Remix level
About 6 buttons would spin with the top layer of a rotation object in the Remix level, rotating that would move them out of bounds. This is now fixed <3
Fixed a typo with Mr.Chillington dialog.
I have some smaller things on my list that I've found while watching people play. Nothing that majority of people notice (I hope) but I might take a breather for a few days before patching again (fingers crossed I'm not jinxing this).

Hello everyone!
I'm so glad to hear that many of you appreciate the patch yesterday that improved speed and added a sprint. So far nothing seems to be broken with this increased speed (fingers crossed).
Some of you have noticed that you could clip through walls, I believe I have a fix for that. I personally couldn't recreate it on my PC or my Steam Deck. I don't have the confidence to say that it's perfect now, but I do believe that a casual player wouldn't find in a normal playthrough.
Patch Notes

Wall detection should be improved to prevent player clipping through walls.
Improved and fixed bugs in the pause menu when using a keyboard
Small fix for rotating platforms in Goldfish Hills that slipped through in last patch
Again, thank you so much for your patience and civilized tone in the communication. I appreciate it a lot!

Added sprint and faster movement!
Important Update I hear you, some of you feel that Chick is moving too slow. Even though there are ways to move faster than normal running I'd still want to find a balance that works for the majority of players and not breaks the game. I've increased the running speed and added a
Important Update
I hear you, some of you feel that Chick is moving too slow. Even though there are ways to move faster than normal running I'd still want to find a balance that works for the majority of players and not breaks the game. I've increased the running speed and added a sprint feature. It's the same one as you pick up stuff with, will only work when you're not carrying anything and are on the ground.
I appreciate you guys being patient with me as I update the game. PaperKlay is very special to me and the last thing I want is for players to have a negative experience because of technical issues.
Patch Notes

Increased movement speed + added a sprint functionality
Fixed some collision issues across the game (mostly missing in some areas)
Vibration now properly adjusts based on your settings
Added delay before the confirmation button can be pressed when deleting a save file
Some sounds weren't adjusting its volume based on your settings
Aside from this I also made a new devlog talking about the last time before the game came out. If you want to watch that then here it is!

Hello everyone!
Here comes the first proper patch after the release of the game.
I've really enjoyed seeing you guys have fun and sharing stories how you stayed up late to finish the game or how you've played with your kids. It really makes this whole thing feel special!
Here's a list of the things I've fixed.
Patch 1.0.1

Increased throw force when not tossing towards a target
Coins from boxes now fly to you after a short while, will prevent some rare issues with coins ending up inside walls.
Nugget ground check improved, a rare scenario where nugget could fall between the smallest gap between platforms.
Dying after defeating the boss in Goldfish Hills would result in boss restarting without the boss.
Fixed a small typo in the last level.
Walking to the back of the skull face in Skull Island level will no longer unload the inside of the skull.
Small text issues when using Japanese or Chinese language are now resolved.
Improved performance on some levels that had very small fps drops.
I appreciate the feedback I've been getting and how supporting everyone has been.
Thank you so much :)
