Bunnimon is drawing closer to our end-goal!
There's still much to be done, but here's the latest update for the DEMO VERSION:
### 🐛 CRITICAL BUG FIXES
#### Crash Prevention
- **Fixed star collection crash** - Star collection no longer crashes when collecting stars at array boundaries
- **Fixed coin counter crash** - UI no longer crashes if secondary coin counter is missing
- **Fixed infinite coroutine memory leak** - Dialog timer now properly stops on scene change, eliminating memory leak over extended play
#### Stability Improvements
- **Enhanced star detection** - Stars now properly validate before collection attempts
- **Improved save system** - Centralized save key management prevents data corruption
- **Better camera stability** - Camera vectors now properly validated to prevent jitter and freezing
- **Safer collectable spawning** - Collectibles no longer crash on spawn if parent missing
### 🔧 GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS
#### Save System Refactoring
- **Unified save key generation** - Consistent save key formatting across all systems
- **Cleaner code** - Reduced 25+ hardcoded strings to centralized configuration
- **Better maintainability** - Adding new save data now takes seconds instead of minutes
- **Fewer corrupted saves** - Systematic approach prevents inconsistent save states
#### Camera Enhancements
- **Auto-refocus feature** - Camera smoothly refocuses behind player when inactive
- **Smoother transitions** - Improved camera following with better dead zones
- **Better vector handling** - Camera won't jitter from corrupted transform data
#### UI Fixes
- **Proper cleanup** - Dialog UI properly cleans up when scenes change
- **Better responsiveness** - UI elements respond immediately to input
### 📊 PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS
- Eliminated memory leak from infinite coroutines
- Optimized save system with centralized configuration
- Reduced garbage collection from string operations
- More efficient dialog rendering pipeline
This is more of a technical foundation update, more content updates (and the final game) is coming this Easter!
