addedThroughout March, a key milestone was the implementation of the Pawsville Main Quest Puzzle for the Release Version (it is different than the Pawsville Puzzle of the Demo Version). We also spent time polishing the feel of our protagonist, rolling out a suite of new animations for the "Final Sparky model".
addedAbout the implementation of the enemies, we’ve continued to expand the roster with new animations for the "Operator" enemy. Behind the scenes, we’ve also developed a new generic enemy codebase; this allows us to more easily create and deploy diverse enemy types while maintaining a stable and generic code for different enemies.
addedMusic remains a central part of the Sparky Rush atmosphere, and this month we introduced a new original track, "Visionnaire Etude" (Sweetie's Theme). Along with the new sounds, we’ve overhauled the Menu and UI navigation. Players can now seamlessly navigate using mouse and keyboard or controllers, with full support tested for both PlayStation and Xbox gamepads.
changedMinor fixes to textures and meshes within Pawsville were made to sharpen the visibility of important map elements. We also tackled two critical persistence bugs: one where music and sound volume settings would reset when changing levels, and another where custom player control settings would occasionally fail to save.
