This is not 2!
But it IS an update to finally add data carry-over, so you'll be able to bring some important info about your CS1 game to GT, via a "DataCrystal." Here's how it works:
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A TRUE SAVE TRANSFER. Your normal saves do NOT transfer between CS1 and GT. This is a separate system that exists to carry over a handful of relevant stats to unlock certain extra scenes.
1. Play through CS1 in whatever way you'd like to be canon.
2. Finish the game. Only endings where Mezz leaves the island count.
3. Check the "www" directory of the game. You'll see a file called "DataCrystal.js". Note that this gets over-written every time you finish the game, so if you'd like to protect a particular version, rename or move it (Just be sure to re-rename it "DataCrystal.js" before the next step).
4. Once you have your shiny copy of CS2, move "DataCrystal.js" to the www\js\plugins. If it asks you to confirm over-writing an existing file, you know you've got the location right.
5. Play GT, and suffer the consequences of your actions.
Note that GT is entirely playable without doing any of this, and in fact without playing CS1. You'll just get the "default" setting and miss out on a few scenes (one for now.)
0.3.3 also includes two minor fixes: the startup logo no longer lags, and is skippable! And Diezel's name doesn't stay on-screen during his fight.
Enjoy. The time is almost nigh.
Edit: Oh and don't let the decreased size scare you. I just cleaned up a bunch of standard game engine assets I wasn't using.
Changelog:
Bug Fixes:
-Intro logo no longer lags.
-Diezel's name doesn't stay on screen during his fight.
