We have pushed two more versions fairly quickly in the last 24 hours - including the final V0.8 one. For the sake of completeness, the release notes (I'll post our press release with the full V0.8 release info shortly):
V0.8pre2
- Story Mode: The UI on the level selection frames (with the painted level images) was partially very hard to read due to bad choice of colors. We now have much darker and less transparent backgrounds for the texts on the top left. This is not a final UI by any means - but at least it now is functional also for the fairly bright levels.
- Story Mode: Integrated Level 5 - this now has the final environment, and final dragon animations ... but is using placeholder music (the track from level 3).
- Story Mode: Integrated new version of Level 2 - this now has much improved dancing animations and lipsync while Vayusah talks. Also, all animations in this level have been polished and improved compared to the previous version.
V0.8
- Music Library: Fixed bug that caused Music Library to disappear when pausing (without previously entering the settings of the Music Library).
- Sci-Fi Tunnels: We had exposure set too high in post-processing color grading, which made the environment look really nice - but the orbs were over-exposed and hardly visible. We fixed this by improving the lighting. With better lighting, less exposure is necessary - now the orbs look great again in this environment.
- Music Library: The "play" button now is "normal" while a beatmap is being cached. You can still press it, and the song will start once caching is complete - but when you wait until this button is green, the will start immediately, with no further waiting time.
- Music Library: Library now shows you stats on beatmaps that you have already played before.
- Music Library: Changing settings for which libraries are being used should now work without having to restart the game. You do have to Rescan, however, but that's just one button press.
- Music Library: Moved navigation buttons a little up and out of the main area that moves right. Also moved the location to the top left corner of the right area because that's the location that this refers to.
- Music Library: Random now selects a song instead of immediately selecting a beatmap.
- Music Browser: Changing settings where to look for beatmaps now works properly.
- Music Browser: Added setting to disable auto-grouping large lists. If this is checked (which is the default), lists with more than 100 entries are automatically grouped, e.g. by alphabet.
- Music Browser: Song lists now also have the artists included.
- Music Browser: Fixed bug where grouped lists were not sorted properly.
- Sliders: Made the moving arrows that indicate the direction much more obvious by making them darker with bright colors, and brighter with dark colors.
- Music Browser: Starts where you left off after playing a song.
