Chapter 3 Major Update!
It’s finally here! The biggest Redeemart update yet! This update has the most game content yet! This major release contains the next quarter of the story (taking the game to 75%! So close to finished!). With this section of the story, I’ve really tried to go all out: a new weapon

Improved Mouse and Keyboard and Controller support
Fixed issue introduced with hardware optimization around not rendering some bricks
Fixed Card related achievements
Can no longer spam the purchase button on the card machine
Improved scripting on user control disabled sections
Battle level enemy scaling corrected
Temporarily disabled the brick rendering optimization code from the last update. I found gaps in logic, but I will improve and reenable!

Hey everyone,
As I mentioned with the 0.6 patch notes, I've changed the tenor of updates on the game. This was the first technical upgrade minor patch I've done. It was great to add some really exciting features and upgrades to the game and the engine and not feel like I was taking focus away from story content. The plan is to do another dedicated minor update after this before shifting into the chapter 3 content.
Thanks for following along and for all the support,
John
Redeemart 0.61 Patch Notes:

Upgrading libraries to new versions - still ongoing
Brick rendering optimizations -There's still much more testing and potential cleanup for this one. But with this release the game will now try to determine if a brick is covered and if so stop drawing it, thus saving on render calls.
Variable size buffers depending on GPU -I've wanted to implement this for a while now. With this change, the game will now try to optimize shader buffers to maximize their size for your individual graphics card. This will happen during the start-up the first time you update, or after any hardware changes. I've also included a menu option to force reoptimizing. It's really hard to know how much of an improvement this will be on individual machines but it's nice to know I'm not leaving that free performance on the table anymore
The ability to buy Redeemost after dying -Not a technical upgrade but a very nice quality of life improvement. With this change, if you get stuck on a tough level you'll be able to go buy more cards in hopes of levelling the playing field
Text Batching -This change is still ongoing as now that I've started I'd like to refactor the whole UI system (sprites can be improved) but with it text rendering is significantly improved. When paired with the shader optimization you should notice a large difference, especially on text-heavy screens.

Although given the amount of time that has passed since it's a little out of date.
Chapter 2 added

New Weapon
New Story Content
New Gameplay modes, upgrades and Redeemosts
New achievements
Improved stability
Moved to C++17, the game saw a minor performance improvement. Work is in place to move to C++20 but I would need to upgrade my library dependencies to do so
Improved performance throughout the game. Especially, during shelf views unnecessary draw calls have been eliminated
Improved load times due to optimizations in loading approaches
Enabled particle variable transparency. This was an omission from the particle optimization process. Particles now have greater levels of variability and subtlety.
Downsized depth of textures to increase performance and ease GPU memory usage. Currently, there is no explicit HDR support in Redeemart so there's no point in using larger image depths
Resolved issues with random number generation (inclusive/exclusive issue). This should lead to sound effects that were previously being skipped over being played.
Improvements in brick gameplay and brick AI behaviour
Various bug fixes
Moving Forward
After this update, I've decided I'm going to change my approach to updates. This major update covered both technical changes and content changes. Which meant the whole game had to be retested. I think my new approach will be to provide minor technical updates before major content updates. In hopes of minimizing the amount of testing required.
That said, I'm currently planning 2-3 minor releases after this update with improvements such as:

Brick rendering optimizations
Shaders that better take advantage of individual hardware capabilities
Improved mouse and keyboard support. This has become quite necessary with the latest chapter 2. Up until this point, I've kept all the controller and mouse and keyboard inputs unified but that approach is no longer viable. So I plan to have unique input handling for mouse and keyboard, however, this is a sizable change.
The ability to buy new Redeemosts after dying. So if you're struggling on a particular wave you can upgrade your abilities
Text batching for increased performance

This update changes the following:

Optimized Text Rendering - This should significantly improve the framerate, especially on AMD cards. Going from hundreds of render calls to usually less than 10.
Resolves slight flicker on NPC flames when switching from looking at a shelf to the top-down view.
Improved interact logic by no longer forcing you to point the player at the interactable.
Added control options to disable rumble or disable rumble triggers.
Moved interact UI prompts to the top of the screen so they no longer overlap with subtitles.
Added sound effect priorities. This should ensure more important sound effects play instead of less important ones like footsteps.
Fixed spatial audio. There was a bug where the spatial audio was playing in the wrong direction from the top-down view. This has been fixed.
Improved mouse controls in the brick section. Prior to this fix the mouse input could get locked and the view would rotate without moving the mouse.
Brick rotation issues. While playing through the brick sections over time bricks would begin to over-rotate when picked up. This has been resolved.
