Hot Dog Reporter 0.5.1


WHOOPS never published this!

Hello friends! We've got a new (very experimental) SMOOTH PHYSICS option! Doubles Max FPS and Physics Tick Rate from 60 to 120. The game will run more smoothly at the cost of performance, but also alters movement calculations. Works best with high refresh rate monitors. This will affect how running and sliding over gaps works! Please let me know if this causes crashing or terrible performance issues for you.

Otherwise, this is mostly a bugfix release, but there are some save file changes to prep for a Steam release. So 0.5.1 won't read save files from 0.5.0, but you CAN move your saves and input mappings (sorry, options are incompatible) over to the new location if you'd like! Instructions below:

  1. Launch 0.5.1 so it sets up the new save folder.
  2. Copy inputmapdata.json and savedata.json from the old location.
  3. In the new location, delete inputmapdata.sav, and savedata.sav if they already exist.
  4. Paste the old save files into the new location and rename them inputmapdata.sav and savedata.sav.

OLD LOCATION:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Hot Dog Reporter
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/Hot Dog Reporter
Linux: ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Hot Dog Reporter

NEW LOCATION:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Hot Dog Reporter
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Hot Dog Reporter
Linux: ~/.local/share/Hot Dog Reporter
