MAiZE (Demo Version) v0.1.1 update

This v0.1.1 update includes numerous fixes/new features including:

• Various bug fixes to the Scarecrow/Pumpkimp functionalities, as well as the Dust Devil sound effect generating at the player start location.

• Input Sensitivity is automatically adjusted depending on whether user is using a mouse or controller (sensitivity can still be adjusted manually via the settings menu as well)

• Sanity Mechanic added to the game

  • Demonic Entity encounters now cause sanity damage

  • Sanity replenishes over time or by catching an Ophanim which appears and patrols the maze when the player's sanity HP falls under 50 points

  • Maximum sanity can be increased by collecting sage bushes hidden (1 sage bush per level, so the demo version only has 1 sage bush, whereas the full version will have 5 total)

• An optional hints system has been added to the Player Options menu which will provide additional prompts with information on how to evade the game's various enemies.

• The skybox for the first level has been updated to a sunset sky, and transitions to a dusk sky upon completion of the level (similar transitions will occur in the full version of the game for each level completion)

Update 7/5/25:

There was an error in the directory setup for the build that was uploaded on 7-2, which has now been corrected. Apologies for any inconvenience/confusion!
