Bug Fixes

  • Relatively significant refactoring of how the game determines the final shape from multiple sand blocks. This should solve most unexpected combination that are meant to work. However some combinations that we're not initially planned may still not give the expected result. A specific example for this would be the "cheese" triangle block. As stack 4 of them in each direction won't give a filled out area. (For now.)

  • Tweak some of the controls for the double blocks to make them a bit less fidgety.

  • Fixed some issues specific to the flat double block. This is likely why it appeared more fidgety than the other double blocks.

  • The bucket swap bug for levels with multiple buckets or in the sandbox mode should now be fixed.

  • Elfie now greets the player when starting up the game and choosing to enter sandbox mode.

  • Fixed the wrong sprite being in one of the jumping Elfie view when using a specific costume.

Language

  • Minor rewrites, corrections and typo fixes for the French localization.

QoL Changes

  • Pressing any key during the Elfie logo intro now speeds through it a lot faster.

  • Tweaked the delay between Elfie's dialogue when unlocking the camera and CD player.

  • If you have finished the game (Probably don't look if you haven't.):

    • Elfie's bag will appear in the option menu next the the Credits sign. You can click Elfie's it to view the ending again.

  • Cheat Codes 💻🐘💭"I'm in!"💭

    • There are only two for now. To use them you need to input the following while in the credits. You will hear a sound if entered correctly.

Other Changes

  • Optimization of some of the sprites.

    • Some of the 2D assets have been properly grouped into some texture atlas. Initially done on a smaller scale to make sure it doesn't break anything graphically.

  • Update the version of Godot. As there were very specific crashes experience by some players, this may fix the issues they've been having through the latest maintenance release.

Other things I was working on earlier this month that don't show up in the patch:

  • Getting the game ready for LQA for the new languages. I'm happy to say that it started!

  • Marketing and promotional related stuff.

  • Elfie: A Sand Plan OST stuff.

If 1.0.3 seems pretty stable, it's likely that the next update will be version 1.1.0 introducing the new languages.
