"The Bird Update": New monster with functionality and bugfixes (yay)

Developer Note:

The update for June mostly contains new functional coding (and bugfixes of course!), as well as adding controller controls to a few more screens. What's a good name for this kind of monthly update? idk. There's a new monster, so let's go with that.

The Steam Store assets were completed, including a new Early Access Trailer. I hope all of this gives a much better first impression than the previous artwork. Considering all the work that went into the "Art Redo" I really do hope it is all worth it!

Oh yeah, there's a new monster. It's a bird. As proper "prey" it replaces the Samurai in the "Capture" quest. I colored the monster using the "Sky" color palette; in fact, the Enlistment "Ribbon" uses a feather from this monster.

For this next month, the focus will be to get more play-testers with the hopes of making the game more fun to play. As a developer, there is a one-sided perspective of a game; what I find "fun" may not be what everyone else thinks, plus with more eyes on the game they can find issues that I have either not thought about or just simply missed. The final goal is a better game for everyone!

The "Beeku" Monster

Bugs:

• Fix crash when unplugging joystick

• Consolidated Login code; should fix some weird "suddenly logged out" issues

New:

• Steam Store Redo Complete! Art, Media, Trailer, and better descriptive text

• Development Server: Enabled "Press & Testing" button to skip progression (plz don't use)

  Note that having "Press Pass" in inventory causes Quests to refresh with specific type ordering. Other functionality may be affected by "Press Pass" in the future.

• AddedMain HubAdded cursor memory for Controller

• Added Controller controls for Marketplace and Warehouse

• Added time left until reset for Guild Boss and Guild League

• New Monster: Beeku ~chase it~

• Functionality added for Battle Passes; gain points from activities, which give tickets at milestones (shop is future dev)

  Note that Battle Passes never expire and multiple can be active at the same time (no FOMO!)

• Added Settings:

  • Options->Network: Force IPv4 - use if IPv6 is causing really bad connection issues

  • Graphics: Animation (simple/full) - "Simple" is biggest FPS performance gain, but only animates keyframes

  • Graphics: Rendering (low/medium/high) - "Medium" is default; "High" uses rotozoom and smoothscale, but destroys fps. idk what "Low" does yet, I'll figure it out.
