✨ Highlights
The Neeblarium now sings softly to itself. This update introduces a full audio system with ambient world sound, gentle menu music, responsive UI tones, and the first Neeblie SFX — all tuned for warmth, balance, and headroom.
🌿 Sound & Ambience
Menu music now plays on startup at a calm level (-12 dB).
Entering the world triggers a smooth music → ambience crossfade, fading gracefully instead of cutting.
World ambience settles at -24 dB for a cozy background tone.
Safe app quit fades the master bus to avoid pops.
Each world now hums quietly, like distant life beneath the glass.
🪶 UI Sounds
New click, open, and hover sounds with light pitch variation to reduce fatigue.
Volume balanced for comfort (-18 dB to -20 dB).
Hover sounds are skipped for hidden or disabled buttons.
Startup chirp removed — the UI stays silent until your first real input.
Default audio sliders start at 75% across all categories, giving plenty of headroom.
🧬 Neeblie Voices
Neeblies now emit a subtle “chip” sound when greeting. Audible only when you’re fully zoomed in — bringing life close, without cluttering the wider world.
🛠️ Fixes & Polish
Fixed crash when resetting settings (missing window_position).
Cleaned up obsolete current_scene_changed usage.
Prevented hover sounds from playing on disabled buttons.
Smoothed volume transitions and removed abrupt pops on exit.
