What's Special About This Update?
The biggest change you will probably notice is that I implemented music. Currently there are only two sound tracks but I plan on writing quite a few more within the next few weeks.
I've also switched the game back to the full code compilation (native code) to improve performance. After watching numerous game reviews with framerates as low as 20 and as high as 200, I was shocked. The performance loss is too drastic to drop support for the full compiler. I plan on further securing my code to ensure less crashes/bugs in the future. Please report any issues you have on the forums! :CuteBearDoll:
Community Requests
I fixed a couple bugs and implemented a few things that people have been requesting.
There were a few complaints that the main menu was confusing and that deselected menus should be indicated as such. I've added a fade on deselected menus to prevent confusion.
One user requested that blood can be toggled on/off. Whether this is to make the game child friendly or to help those who are hemophobic, it was an excellent suggestion!
I noticed a lot of people complaining about having a horrible framerate no matter what they do and realized the main issue was these people were playing on old GPUs or integrated graphics cards. I've made the vignette shader a video setting option that can be turned on or off. Switching it off may give you a massive framerate boost if you do not have a dedicated graphics card.
