v0.0.2.2 - v0.0.2.4 - Dr K, Stickier Camera, Split Blink/Unlock Inputs, Some Bug

A.K.A. “Who has time to release notes with every patch?”

Dr. K

Allow Dr. K to move to a faraway object to interact with it, unless she is holding something and unable to stretch far enough

Prevent Dr. K from interacting with something if…

• her eyes are closed

• either hand is already interacting with it

• Add some visual errors to Dr. K:

• Too far, can’t reach

• Too far vertically, can’t reach even if she walks over

• Too far given held object, can’t reach or walk to

• Missing an item, can’t interact

• Holding an item, can’t interact

• Collision is blocking interaction

• Prevent Dr K from dabbing

Misc

• Updated many level thumbnails from default focus on Spawn. Tweaked a few levels.

• When trying to launch Slime Core out of Body, ensure Core can reach a more consistent velocity – Though a good run-up still gets you a bit more height

• Drastically reduce input strength for Core when out of Body. Pupil movement also nerfed when out of Body.

• Camera much stickier when slime is not moving, so that it settles down instead of bouncing all over

• Camera moves towards where Slime Core is looking, if Slime Core is in Body, and is also currently-controlled

• AI core now properly moves towards/away from you and is no longer invisible while active

• “Blink” and “Unlock Core” are now separate inputs

• If collectibles fall out of the world, they respawn

• In editor, add blue preview of the item(s) to be pasted

• Misc new debug commands added (LB+RB or F1 to access, not available in Demo)

• Improved build process so that Steam receives the same version of Slime Research for all platforms, instead of new auto-builds being sent for Windows. Hopefully this (and a minute or two of QA!!!) will prevent bugs from leaking into the public
