Big Changes

• Revamped underworld!!!

• New puzzle in the overworld

• Consistent jump height (you can still hold space to jump higher though)

• New platforming puzzle in the underworld

• New islands!

• New flower: Prairie Trillium

• New mushroom: Jack-O-Lantern Mushroom

• Comically large ant

Technical Mumbo Jumbo

• Basic graphics settings. Fast or ~FANCY~

• Draw distance reduction

• Tweaker-level optimizations

  1. Occlusion on all objects to reduce draw calls

  2. Removed secondary camera (item camera) and replaced it with a custom shader that renders items on top of everything else. This shaved ~2ms off each frame. I sacrificed a week of my life for those 2 milliseconds.

  3. With the "Fast" graphics setting, unnecessary objects are hidden when far away. I wrote my own system to dynamically hide them. I made it light on CPU usage by spreading the calculations out over many frames instead of checking all of them at once. Ex.) instead of 500 calculations per-frame, it will check 10 objects each frame for a total of 50 frames. Comment your favorite type of bean if you read this far lol.

Small Changes

• Higher prices, but more chests to discover or unlock

• Added cracked texture to asteroids that will break when you touch them

• Removed the bone scavenger hunt item because it sucks (it too small)

• Balance tweaks

• Too many bug fixes to count (as per usual)

Do good things
