Hot Dog Reporter 0.5.0
Hello friends! Major version increase right here!
Big changes to the options menu, including input remapping and a couple of gameplay/accessibility related options. Make sure you check out the AUTORUN OPTION if you've been death-gripping your controller and would like to have fewer cramps! There are a lot of little under the hood modifications and movement tweaks, so please don't be shy about reporting bugs!
Oh also, a brand new level to help ease the pain of save wipes!
The new level is, I think, the best representation of the sort of level design I'd like to focus on in Hot Dog Reporter. It started with one, fast paced, thread-the-needle path before building additional, slower but not as difficult paths around it. The process needs some balance and refinement (and a whole lot more playtesting), but I'm pretty happy with the new level, and the overall current gameplay loops.
Change Log:
- Updated options and save data formats (SAVE WIPE, SORRY!)
- Added a new run killing level at thee end!
- Implemented input remapping!
- Added a buffer to make continuous sliding easier
- Sliding directly into a bounce wall now reverses slide direction
- Slightly increased wall jump force multiplier
- Slightly increased double jump height
- Slightly increased speed needed to trigger fall impact effect
- Level title now shows up on the end level screen
- Divided options menu into separate tabs
- Cancel button now closes the current UI view
- Pause button also unpauses
- Added options to Autorun and Disable Crouch Drop
- Improved camera axis locking
- Added retry level prompt to last level end screen
- Hide mouse cursor on non-mouse input
- Cleaned out some old assets and code
- Added coyote time to wall jumps
- Fixed some shockingly dumb bugs related to order of operations
- General stability improvements to enhance the user's experience (probably)
