1.0.28

Small Features

  • Proactive Save Backups: The game now makes rotating backups of your save data, so if you lose power or something while the game is mid-save, you should still have a backup to fallback on.

  • Retroactive Save Backups: There is now a debug command [c]redevelopallphotos[/c] that will read every photo you've ever taken and instantly runs it through the develop-o-tron. This will recover a good chunk of lost save data, it won't re-buy your upgrades or re-assemble your scrapbook, but it should return your stars and money you've earned.

  • Clicking the button to ban a Player now has a confirmation dialogue

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug involving "duplicate hosts"

  • Whistles are now affected by "SFX Volume" (was considered a "Bird SFX" before)

UX Changes

  • "Highlight Lifers" upgrade works a little differently, any bird with zero photos in your guidebook is considered a Lifer (Lifer Bonus is still issued to the first photo that contains that bird, even if it's in the background)

  • "Show Completed Poses" upgrade changes the color of a square if it's 3-starred, just so you can tell at a glance what poses aren't 3-starred.

  • Develop-o-tron shows you the previous stars for all poses, not just the pose you're currently looking at.

  • Fixed jitter in develop cutscene

  • Bird names are now linebroken on dashes and other non-whitespace characters (makes bird names legible in pt-BR on Steam Deck, and probably other languages too)
