Update notes:

- UI update: Complete UI design overhaul! The game UI just got a completely new feel and look. Everything is a bit more nicer to look at, easier to click on, and fits more nicely with the visual style of the game.

- Feature added: Control remapping! You can now bind your own keys to almost all actions. (Note: For now you can only remap keyboard controls. Gamepad controls are not yet remappable. However there is now a new button in the Options menu which shows you gamepad controls.)

- Localization: More languages! Tile Town is no longer available in just English - select your language through a new language selection option in the Options menu. Currently there is English, French, German, Chinese and Czech available. More languages are planned for future updates.

- Feature added: Map overview! You can now zoom out with [F] to see the entire map with highlighted free spots.
- Feature added: Cloud saves! Your save file is now on the Steam Cloud.
- UI update: "Controls" pop-up menu and the corresponding button have been removed. This section now lives directly in the Options menu.
- Feature added: You can now hide the "Game over" window to have a better view of your finished town before you decide to move on.
- Visual tweak: Golden double score spot is now shinier & more visible.
- Visual tweak: New main menu scene to keep things fresh.

- Bug fix: Fixed a bug where you could swap the tile while in 1st person mode.

-> Please note that translations might not be final. The German and Chinese translations are mostly done with an AI translating service so it might (and probably will) contain some errors. If you find a translation error and you wish to help correct it, please reach out to me via one of the social links (available in the game's Credits menu) or in the community discussions. Thanks!

-> Your game might crash the first time you try to launch it after this update because of save file compatibility. This is okay and should fix itself and run properly the next time you launch the game (your save file will not be lost). Sorry for the inconvenience.

-> If after the update your controls don't work, or are not set at all, click the "Reset default" button next to the Controls option. If you experience any other technical issues with the game after an update, try reinstalling the game. If this doesn't fix the problem, or if you find any other bugs, please let me know in the community discussions (you can use the link in the Credits menu). Thanks & enjoy!

Update notes:

- Core feature added: Online leaderboards! Your high scores (for each level and the total score) are now automatically saved to the Steam leaderboards and you can see your global rank next to each high score. Leaderboards are also accessible from the Steam community: https://steamcommunity.com/stats/2164780/leaderboards
- Feature added: Interactive tutorial! "How to" button has been removed from the UI and instead the game now features an interactive tutorial level that guides you through the basics of the gameplay.
- Feature added: Partial controller support (the game itself is now playable with a controller, but the UI and menus don't work properly yet; this feature is experimental at the moment and will be properly fixed in future updates).
- Steam achievements: 4 new Steam achievements have been added!
- Steam achievements: Names of most achievements have been modified
- Feature removed: "Reset game and high scores" button in main menu removed (it served mostly debug purposes and would now clash with the online leaderboards). RIP.
- Game math: When swapping a tile, you can no longer receive the same tile you just had - it's now bound to always be different.
- Game math: Raised score requirements to unlock new levels (the game was too easy). This will also reset your save file... sorry!
- Bug fix: Biome icon no longer shows up in the main menu after restarting the game.
- Visual feature added: Current tile now slowly floats up and down.
- Visuak feature added: Villagers' clothes color variety increased.
- UI update: Changed design of the logo in main menu (also it's now clickable, just for fun... or is it?).

Please note that the online leaderboards are just experimental at this point in Early Access and might sometimes not work properly, or get reset at some time. If you find any issues with them (or any other bug), please let me know in the community discussions (you can use the link in the Credits menu). Also please be aware that during early access most of the updates will reset your existing game, your settings and your save file. This is to make sure your save file is fully compatible with the newest version of the game. Sorry about that! If you experience any technical issues with the game after an update, try reinstalling the game.
