Demo 2 Update

What a crazy few weeks! Thank you all for your support, whether it's a pledge on the Indiegogo, a retweet, or even just playing the game! We've been hard at work over here getting the demo into a state that more closely matches our vision for the final game. In the meantime, I've gathered a list of changes we've made to the latest demo, Starshifter Demo 2.

Major changes

General

• Optimized collision boxes and added more LODs
• Added grass toggle to the pause menu
• Overhauled crow flying to make it more arcade-y
  
• Fixed coyote duplication
• Fixed out-of-bounds areas not respawning the player after the fade to white
• Fixed coyote animations on lower (or higher) framerates

Cameras

• Overhauled the camera system to introduce "virtual cameras"
  • Virtual cameras themselves do not render
    
  • They can be animated, moved, and attached without altering the render camera
    
  • They can easily be cut to or transitioned to on demand, through code or game events
  • They "stack" allowing the render camera to choose the most important one to actually render from
  • They can alter properties (like FOV) of the render camera

NPCs

• Disabled various unfinished or broken NPCs while they are being worked on
• You can no longer move during dialogue
