How To Grow a Black Hole Update

Added

• Added a larger, scrollable Patch Notes view that can be opened from Settings.

• Added company splash music support at launch.

• Added a new splash sequence that fades from stars into warp speed, then reveals the black hole and game title.

• Added two research upgrades: Feed Lane Controls and Reversible Upgrade Paths.

Fixed

• Splash music now starts with the splash sequence in the Electron game shell instead of waiting for a click.

• Collapse music no longer cuts off early. Tracks now play through with their intended fade.

• Fixed upgrade row highlights that could stick after a purchase.

• Fixed downgrade and sell pulses so they play on the correct action.

• Fixed upgrade tier bar spacing and milestone labels.

• Fixed upgrade affordability states so unaffordable upgrades are clearly dimmed.

• Fixed the feed source cost reduction research info so it shows the full-stack discount instead of a source price.

Tweaked

• Reworked research descriptions, effects, and improvement text so upgrades are easier to understand.

• Improved splash title readability with a darker, blurrier overlay that eases into the live game scene.

• Cleaned up Settings actions so Patch Notes lives with build info instead of the save/session controls.

• The changelog, Welcome Back, and offline review modals now close with Escape.

• Updated UI text across the game to be more consistent and easier to read.
