Hey folks! Thank you to everyone who's tried the playtest so far, and an even bigger thank you to the folks who tested this build early on Patreon. I'm expecting to hear back from one publisher in particular in the next week, and depending on how that goes, I may need to take the playtest down, but as it stands currently, I aim to keep it up until the end of August.
Patreon supporters who have been at the $5 and up tier for at least 3 months at the end of August will receive Beta Steam Keys if I am able to (I need to check how I'm allowed to use them), but please keep in mind, everything I've said so far is subject to change.
But enough legal jargon. Here's the changelog for version 0.0.6.0 (up from 0.0.5.8):
Buttons UI now correctly recognizes the side mouse buttons, and displays icons for them.
Same for PS5 controllers, though the button prompts are the same as the PS4's for the moment.
Paint mixing UI has been improved, including an explanation of how to refill your current paint with a paint bucket if they match.
The minimap has been overhauled to only display the "!" icons in rooms where there is still something of interest after you've visited them once.
GUI is no longer as intrusive when talking to Vicky in the shop, though it will still display your money and sellable items.
Removed a debug function that hopefully no one discovered.
Minimap has also been scaled down slightly to avoid interfering with gameplay, and a vending machine it was still covering up has moved to the other side of the room in protest.
Enemy pathfinding has been significantly improved; they shouldn't freak out in place nearly as often.
The Designer Shoes now drain less paint than before per dash, and only drain paint at all if you cross over something besides the paint you have equipped.
Game now automatically pauses when the window loses focus.
Added a fun effect when you finish off the last enemy in a room with a melee attack, let me know what you think!
Thank you for playing! Let me know what you think in the comments, Discord, or on my Twitch streams on Mondays!
