Playtest Release 0.0.2

Playtest v0.0.2 is now available!

In this release, we add a new enemy to play around with, as well as some other small modifications. See the full changelog at the bottom of this post.

Known issues:
Due to a well-documented side-effect of OpenGL's lazy shader compilation, there will be some initial lag when new materials spawn for the first time. This can include:

• Sliding for the first time (ground particles)
• Silkworm projectile spawns for the first time
• Shooting for the first time
• Spawning plants for the first time (including grappling)

Unfortunately, there is no "fix" for this - except some nasty workarounds which I will have to look into until Godot 4.0 comes out.

Changelog

Bug fixes

• The final island now allows plant spawning
• The restart button now works as expected

Tweaks / Changes

• Grapple now allows more player control over sideways / swinging movement

New Features

• Silkworm enemy prototype added. Shoots slow projectiles at the player (with an explosion radius).
