0.4.0 - Curve Update (Date 30.10.20)

The changelog here is so absolutely huge i'll have to break it down for the first time.

Additions:

• New Levels!
• I have implemented a testing procedure so no obvious bugs should find their way into builds now.
• The dialogue system now features profile pics and sounds
• The world screen features SFX.
• A space prompt has been added to the quarters scene as players often got stuck there
• A 'd' prompt has been added to the world screen as it was not obvious what was going on

Changes:

• Tips have been reorganised
• The world starting position is now to the right of the tutorial, as it caused confusion
• Not entirely relevant but i updated the private build naming convention to include more detail

Bug Fixes:

• There are now colliders in the quarters scene
• The quarters scene transition no longer takes up the top half of the screen despite it supposed to be up.
• Old abandoned 'carry' code was removed that sometimes caused an unused sprite to display
• Colorbeard no longer stays gold after unlocking a lock
• Colorbeard is no longer gold by default in the outdoor circus scene
• The Tutorial prompts now require actual action to be taken rather than just walking into their highlighted zones.
• because of this, the 'q' prompt can no longer be triggered by a spider.
• The version number was not changed in 0.3.4 lol it has been for 0.4.0

0.3.4 - AudioQuarters Patch (Date 11.10.20)

3 months later, i got my act together and made this.

• Added quarters scene with a nice bit of dialogue in it.

• Music by Krydaform is in the works
• The Esc menu now triggers transitions when it should.

0.3.3 - Exterminator Patch (Date 10.7.20)

• Fixed issue where the save system would not initiate at all, totally breaking the world screen for new users.
• Fixed issue where the hedge lock sprite overlaps the player
• Fixed issue where some of the colliders in the tutorial were missing
• Welcome Alcateia, the new SFX, Music and Testing legend. his reworked SFX did not make it into this build but rest assured they will be soon enough.
• Looking at this, it appears i have not uploaded a patch in over a week. damn, sorry. progress always slows down the further you go into development and we have hit a really slow patch here. also, i have been working on it a bit less to try and find a better balance so there's that as well.

0.2.9 - Hidden Patch (Date 17.6.20)

• Added a hidden debug menu that allows me to go to any level in the game including 5 untextured, thrown-together prototype levels for 0.3.0 (i'm not telling you how to get there, you wouldn't enjoy it and it would spoil the levels anyway)
