New update is here. As previously stated, I originally wanted to use this month to playtest the game myself and get a feeling for how things stand currently. What can be improved and what needs to be adjusted and fixed. And also potential bug hunting. While I was playtesting and gather a lot of my own feedback I actually found quite a lot of stuff that could be improved upon.
This update turned out much bigger than original planned despite not really adding much new stuff. There was just so many existing things that definitely could need some adjusting and reworking. This month was definitely the most demanding one of all of them. I never worked so many extra hours before. Which is quite ironical since I thought this month would be the most relaxed one.
Important when you transfer save data:
-Interact with the save flame in the hub area after booting up your save for the first time. It will set some triggers right.
-Only update to the new version if you saved in the hub area, if you saved in a ongoing run, finish it first before switching to the new version.
###Polish###
I started with something that was on my to do list for a long time. I implemented a new system that keep track of the players stats when they starting a run and restoring it to that state when a run has ended. This new system should be more reliable than the old one with handling negative numbers, which the previous one couldn't. For now this system is only half implemented since I am still testing it for bugs but the most important stuff works.
For players this changed shouldn't be noticeable at all but allows me in the future to make even more crazy Artefact and Modification Effects.
I also added a new debug option to the extra settings. In here the new save&load system can be turned fully on for testing purposes. In the future I might add more debug stuff in here. Those options can be fully ignored.
Cleaned up a bunch of Icons. Removed over hundreds of stray pixels. A lot of the icons be it for Items or Status effects now should be looking a lot cleaner. Also replaced the outdated gem icons with the new ones. Hard to show in an image but you might notice when playing yourself.
Added some extra sound effects to the tutoriel area as well as a sound effect for, when unlocking a perk and skins.
The names of the Modifications "Lethal Condition" and "Fragile" got swapped since they fitted better that way. The modifications themself remained unchanged.
The programming for Forge Menu has been redown and has been improved.
And the programming for the Achievement Unlock System has been improved as well. Currently still under testing. If some achivements should not unlock please let me know.
Milk Bottles Fields now work much faster. Removed some unnecessary Text Box and now the character image only displays if a visual change happens. This actually saves a decent amount of time.
Credit Gain script has been overhauled and many inconsistencies are fixed. The Gold Gain Stat that is displayed at an end of a run is now being better calculated. It now also considering Money gained through Gold Bonuses such as artefacts and Modifications. The Gold Gained and Credit Gained were always displayed incorrectly in the end of a run statistics, now they should much more accurate.
Reworked the Run Statics display a little that occurs when you won a rum. Now looks a bit more pleasing.
A new option has been added to enable or disable Mouse Inputs. In a new game they are turned on by default. For all that want to use them in your carried over save, you need to turn it on in the extra settings in the hub area.
###Artefact Adjustments###

###Afterword and the next Update###
As mentioned previously this update turned out much bigger than original planned despite mainly focusing on improving existing stuff instead of focusing on new content. Well there is one new content that has been added, I am sure it will be hard to miss.
Despite fixing so much I actually haven't even made it through all. There are still quite a few things that really could need some adjustments and updates. For example:
I still hadn't had any time to update random events to react to the newer transformations when calculating outcomes.
The TF Artefacts that give a Random Ear/Tail TF when used also still missing all newer ones in their pool. Something I still hadn't had the time to update and adjust.
The Artefact Gallery also missing a lot of description. No new ones added this patch.
Artefact rebalancing is something I also have planned. Nerfing or buffing some that could really need it. For this patch only the 3 mentioned above got some adjustments.
I definitely will do another month where the main focus will be quality assurance in the future. There is still a lot of stuff to improve upon on but for next month it will be on new content again.
The next update will be focusing on what will win the next vote. As well as adding the winning extra tf's into the game.
