Hello everyone!
The new version with long-awaited changes is finally here! Here’s a list of the most important updates:
- Workshop support and editor: You can now download user-created Pals from the Steam Workshop or create your own directly within the TaskPals app.
- Multiscreen support: If you have multiple monitors, you can move Pals seamlessly between screens.
- Reworked interaction system: You can now drag and throw Pals around your screen with the left click, and pet them with the right click. (Note: heart particles have been removed.)
- New user interface: A fresh look to enhance your experience.
- As I have limited hardware and knowledge, there might be things I’ve overlooked. I kindly ask for your patience with any bugs you encounter, and I’ll do my best to address them as soon as possible.
Plans for the future
- New tutorial: A detailed guide on how to use TaskPals and create new Pals.
- Pal competitions: I’m planning to organize a few competitions to showcase the best user-created Pals.
- Performance optimizations: I’m currently testing a new rendering method for TaskPals. While it’s an improvement, I’m still not satisfied with the resource usage. Further optimization is a priority.
- Modular behaviors: I’m exploring the idea of adding customizable behavior options for Pals during creation.
