Ghosts have arrived!
- Ghosts will now auto-spawn occasionally from Dog Memorials. They'll be more likely to spawn if the room the memorial is in is decorated with Spooky objects, carpets, and wallpapers. (You can turn off ghost auto-spawning in the Gameplay Options menu.)
- These dogs aren't technically yours, so while you can give them commands, you won't be able to do things like breed or store them.
- Play around with them and have fun! There's still a few more things I'd like to add, but they already have some special behaviors and properties!
Game Adjustments:
- The base size of baby teeth has been increased so they'll be a little easier to see and click on.
- Dud eggs are now easier to get. They're still not going to happen every time you have a dog with lots of Scaph in its gut, but they're easier now than they were before. I'll be keeping an eye on this and can increase the chances even further if folks still have trouble.
- In preparation for ghosts, Dog Cores and Memorials now store dog personality data. Past cores/memorials will not have this, but if a core is created after this patch, both it and the memorial created from it will. This data is passed along to spawned ghosts. If it doesn't exist, the ghost will have no personality traits.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a few bugs surrounding hacked and unstable dogs. It should now be way less likely for these dogs to softlock the game. This also means that their bodies finish generating, so they may look very different than before. Please welcome them into your hearts.
Audio:
- SFX for when a dog is selected in the storage screen.
- Update for the SFX that plays when a goal is claimed.
- Audio for opening/closing the goals and storage screens.
I know this patch took longer than usual to come out, so thanks for being so patient with me! There's some exciting stuff brewing and I can't wait to share it!
