Oh boy, this update got bigger than I initially planned. One day when I took a break from my new project (Sonucido: The Mage), I decided to improve the code in Bring Back The Sun a little bit and thought about putting some Quality of Life features into the game.
This quickly turned into a much bigger update!
I discovered that I had some settings wrong in the graphical department but could fix them fast and the game looks a lot sharper now, especially on higher resolution screens.
Also, to improve the graphics even further, I designed a whole new tileset of broken tiles and put some of them here and there. I use them only a few times because I didn't want to change the core look of the game too much but I think these tiles are a good addition!
This is by far the biggest update to the game yet and I let the changelog speak for itself!
TL;DR
Sharper graphics, more visual variety, Quality of Life features.
PS: If you can't see a difference right away, it's more noticeable on large monitors.
