CHANGELOG (0.3.8)
- The cursors now animate and pulsate when over a hotspot, this will help players who struggle to define when the cursor changes to the appropriate action.
- Added more alignment code to certain UI elements to help with 16:10 aspect ratio displays. (mostly MacOS)
- Added a new song when viewing the “After the Fall” game box located in the Balcony in Act 3.
- Added more camera zooms to Balcony scene in Act 3.
- Added new ambience sounds to Katrina’s kitchen.
- Re-factored auto-save routine and placement of cassette animation.
- The news reporter will disappear after she goes crazy from the television in the background.
- Optimised memory usage and overall game size by 500mb.
- Cleaned up masking of sprites in “Katrina’s Kitchen”.
- Fixed some serious speech bubble bugs in “Diner Entrance” and “Psychologist” Act 2 scenes.
- Cleaned up “intro/credit” sequence by removing noise from video file and using Unity shaders instead
OLDER CHANGELOG (0.3.7)
- Changed all caption text from images to TextMeshPro objects. It required writing some fade in/out coroutines but works a lot nicer and uses less ram.
- Added TextMeshPro animation routines.
- Altered subtitle player routine for video player so it removes itself if you skip a video early. This required adding a new Stop() routine to the subtitle player.
- Changed title cards on transition scenes to TextMeshPro game objects rather than separate GUIs with images.
- Altered credit text materials in “title/intro_c” sequence by adding glow, shadow effects, etc.
- Changed “sometime later” game object in “outsidediner” scene to a TextMeshPro object.
- Fixed bug where buttons sounds would play even when they were not visible in main menu during the menu introduction.
