Announcements:
Hello everyone!
I want to start off by giving a huge thank you to everyone who bought, playtested, and reviewed the game! I'm deeply grateful that many of you are enjoying it so far, and I hope to extend and strengthen that enjoyment in the months to come. I’ve also taken note of your suggestions, all of which are quite good!
As this is the first game I’ve released on Steam, I hope you’ll bear with me as I navigate the game's post-release lifecycle. I can assure you that you can expect new updates featuring improved features, bug fixes, and additional art.
Patch Notes:
New Features:
Alter Individually - a new toggle that allows for more customized behavior of selecting and manipulating options. When it's turned off (Currently off by default), any changes you make with Advanced Options will apply to the whole option. When it's toggled on, you can be more specific with your changes, and move/change/flip each layer of an option individually.
Show/Hide Button - This button will allow you to easily reveal and conceal anything that you have selected, and should make experimenting with choices much easier.
Custom Color Palette Rework - The "Store" button has been removed to make the color palette more intuitive: Now, using the color picker will automatically adjust the custom color button.
Flip Y - You can now flip an option vertically with the Flip Y button.
Fixes:
Color fixes for all sprites - All off-white sprites have been converted to pure-white, meaning you cannot accidentally continuously darken an option by color-picking itself.
Pointer Accuracy Improvement - The boundary box of the cursor has been trimmed to more accurately reflect where the user clicks.
Selection Improvement - Selection now accounts for flipped sprites correctly, something that caused weapons in particular to be difficult to click on.
Masking Fix - Fixed an issue where back hair options disappear and don't turn on when wearing certain hats
Miscellaneous art & UI fixes - smaller fixes to certain sprites which appeared to contain a border during screenshot, and updated certain buttons which were working with older functionality
