This week was mostly more menu improvements and bug fixes. The menus work pretty well now, but there are still some things to fix with the graphics settings (namely, making them appropriate for the user's machine).
Bug of the Week
This weeks bug is a strange Unity issue. Using Unity's built in navigation allows you to move between UI elements with a controller or keyboard. This works pretty well for the options menu:
The options menu is a Prefab, so that it can be used in several different places. Interestingly, if you open the prefab in Unity's Hierarchy view:
and then try to use controller navigation, the following happens:
You can see that the selection disappears as I try to navigate from Resolution to Frame Rate. I think that Unity is trying to jump to the prefab's version of the resolution item, instead of the one that actually exists in the game view. It's a very strange and highly specific bug, that doesn't actually matter when the game is being played. I just thought it was interesting. It also might be fixed in new version of Unity, but I haven't checked.
