K.K.Z. version 1.2.1 release

The tinkering never ends…

• says “version 1.21” in the readme (oops! i accidentally forgot how versions work)
• v9944 is now deprecated because i’m too lazy to copy my changes over to a 3rd version lol

Bugfixes

• fixed the HUD glitching when the window is resized (thanks Saniblues!)
• fixed fired projectiles (maybe just melee weapons?) not always registering for meter gain
• fixed EX super bazooka missiles not spreading out like normal

Gameplay changes

• now has a meter gain multiplier. when you use super meter, you receive 80% less meter for a short period of time. the meter gain penalty is shorter for Super Arts than EX shots. EX fire reduces your meter gain until 4 seconds after the animation ends, while for Super Arts it reduces meter gain for 4 seconds after the super freeze ends.
• now has a new macro, “freezeDuringSuper” that controls whether or not the game freezes while the player activates a super. the freeze effect can probably cause glitches and might be annoying during multiplayer situations, so you can turn it off if you like.

Boring code changes

• made the conditions for checking for fired projectiles more precise, which hopefully increases performance slightly
• i’ve replaced most instances of “collision_circle_list” with “instances_meeting_rectangle” which may or may not affect performance, but mostly will just make my code easier to maintain across versions and means I don’t have to use as many ds_lists
• super art I now uses a PortalClear to break walls rather than an invisible MiniExplosion because i checked the pinned messages in the NT #programming-discussion channel
