addedThe Jukebox update is here! This one doesn't have a lot to explain. I added 12 new Lo-fi tracks by artist Redlight Chill, and added a new "now playing" banner that pops in when you are in the ant farm and a new track starts. So you can see the song name and artist of the new track. Fairly simple concept that proved more difficult than I thought to create with modular window sizes and screen layouts. Creating a one-size fits all approach to a nice little track window took some trial and error. The 12 new tracks are excellent vibe-y lo-fi and fit in well with the existing roster of tracks. On to the patch notes.
addedv0.6.0Added a Now Playing Banner to the ant farm that displays when a new track starts playing
addedv0.6.0Added a page 2 to the Jukebox menu that matches the page system seen in the Stats menu
addedv0.6.0Added 12 new lo-fi tracks from artist Redlight Chill, bringing the total track count to 24 lo-fi beats
addedv0.6.0There are some small additional features I want to add as v0.6.x patches here but I wanted the brunt of the patch out now since the core elements of it were done. I'm gonna stick with version v0.6.x for around a month here. Do some small iterative clean ups and improvements before heading to the next title update which will again re-focus on expanding the depth of gameplay in the Idle Mode.
