Hi everyone,
this small update contains a few small but very important improvements and bug fixes. This patch also addresses game crashes some of you have experienced.
Changelog
Features:
- Add an action to narrate all controls (only works when TTS is enabled). The default key-binding is F1 or 'Select' on gamepads.
Maintenance:
- Upgrade Godot Engine version to 4.1.3
- Clean up many parts of the game to make it more maintainable for me.
- Remove some assets from the game's build that have only been used for development, reducing the file size of the game on your disk slightly.
Bug Fixes and Other Small Improvements:
- Fix several game crashes that could occur sometimes when switching scenes (e.g. when going back to the level selection).
- Fix some memory leaks. This results in a more stable experience even in longer play sessions
- Change the order of the help texts (Text-to-Speech help is now the second one)
- Fix bug where selecting 'Back to Menu' from the in-game pause menu always loaded the regular level selection, even when the setting to use the simplified level selection map is activated.
- Update 'Overview' help text to give an overview of all Help categories
- Update 'Text-to-Speech' help text to include information regarding new controls narration (see feature above)
- Reintroduce tilemap texture padding. This should get rid of some rendering/performance glitches.
- Update Credits
- Fix bug where TTS Object Narrator could be moved and sounds were being played although TTS functionality was disabled
- Add several new safety measures to make the game more stable.
Should you encounter any further issues, please contact me so that I can look into them.
