Version 0.5.2 is here!

Greetings Siphonophore overlords!

While working on controller support we have fixed several issues and made some improvements to the game - both performance and visual. Each fix is listed in the changelog of Version 0.5.2 below!

Controller support development is going well. We have implemented a system control which parts of UI can be navigated-to using direction keys - either on controller or keyboard. This has been a major part of work as we, before starting on seriously working on non-mouse controls, have made some parts of assume existence of mouse.

Version 0.5.2

• Fix extra zooid selection throwing errors when navigated with input keys while there are no extra zooids
• Report when poolable is destroyed because due to not having an original
• Fix Spike Zooid background not being pooled properly
• Fix nutrition icon in Aquarium enemy spawn menu
• Add flashes to powerup pickup effects and fix their colors
• Properly re-select UI elements. Fixes Aquarium elements not being highlit when re-entering Aquarium mode
• Fix Aquarium sounds being paused in Aquarium
• Add sanity check for Greaser Renderer Cloner erroring out
• Handle loading more defined inputs than we know about
• Cache postprocessing values which otherwise allocate GC memory
• Improve performance in Aquarium - prevent UI from rebuilding itself each frame
• Do not recreate all Zooid buttons on every structure change
• Unparent zooid connectors when zooids are about to be destroyed. This prevents connectors from being destroyed
• Set icon of enemy size Aquarium option
• Fix camera jumping around when switching between Growth and Aquarium modes
• Do not update lost zooid ghosts while not in growth mode
• Only create/remove changed zooid overlays instead of all and on every structure change
• Only mutate enemy inventories if the queen has been defeated
