Howdy! Usually I don't put two builds in a single day, but I had to fix several bugs that were reported, so here we go!
IMPORTANT: With the previous build, there was a scale integrity issue where you lose Fish Scales randomly by going between stages. I think I fixed it, but if you go between stages and lose any progress, please let me know immediately!
Also, this version of the game updates file names and cleans up some leftover data. If your game suddenly says you have no save data, do not touch anything and message me. Most likely the data is still there, just the game can't see it now.
Here's the full patch notes:
===== NEW =====
- The preset "Low" has been changed to "Lower" to make room for a new low preset, which allows for hi-res rendering but uses the lowest quality blur (since blur rendering speed was improved in the last build.)
===== CHANGED =====
- Removed unused files from the game's data folder.
- This version of the game will automatically switch all save files and relevant save data to be all lowercase, for future cross-platform compatibility. This should NOT erase any save data, but if your save data disappears, do not do ANYTHING and reach out to me IMMEDIATELY. It most likely is still there, just under the old name.
===== BUG FIXES =====
- Fixed a bug where the game was erroneously writing INI files when reading them.
- Because of this bug fix, the game is configured to clean up the files it was accidentally writing. You may see an in-game message about this, but don't worry about it.
- Fixed a bug where opening the Tubular Twister upgrades menu with no upgrades owned would show an error message.
- Fixed a bug where you could interact with Lance's computer or Parker's portrait while going downstairs and carry the dialogue into the next room.
- Fixed a bug where Parker's portrait and the bookshelf in Lance's house would no longer be interactable if you investigated the fridge twice.
- Fixed a bug where pressing the button on Throwables with no throwable equipped would cause the game to crash.
- Fixed a bug where the shop would show untranslated language strings when attempting to buy.
- Fixed a bug where Lance could take damage and subsequently not be controllable by the player until he takes damage again.
- Possibly fixed a scale integrity bug that causes you to lose scales between stages. If you lose scales, let me know right away!
===== KNOWN BUGS =====
- Setting video configuration is currently disabled on the title screen, as the title screen still uses the old menu subsystem, which is incompatible with the new options.
- A few menus across the game still use the old menu subsystem. These will eventually be replaced with the new one.
