This month we focused on level design and integrating our art direction with the level pipeline. So, the updates to the code were quite minimal this time around.

We did want to apologize, however. Last month we were informed of a bug that prevents the leaderboards from functioning properly. We have been in contact with Steam trying to get this fixed, however their responses have been slowed, and the issue has been shown to be on their side. Sadly, our hands are tied. So, we can't recommend trying to top the leaderboards right now, as your score may very likely get reset hours later due to a bug in the Steam Leaderboards.

Changes:

• Ported Hop 2 to our modular pipeline. Reworked several parts of the level. This isn't quite done yet but it's much closer to the final layout!

• FINALLY, we added mouse scroll for jumping.

• Fixed a bug with the idle portal sounds.

• The speed in the game UI now shows the speed you're moving instead of the speed you WANT to move. So if you walk into a wall it shows your effective speed (0m/s) instead of the speed you want to go (6m/s).

• Fixed a bug where falling off of something doesn't reset gravity. This intentionally broke crouch-jumping for now, due to a collider resizing issue in Unity. We will be re-working the player controller, AGAIN to a fully custom physics system now that we have the proper experience to handle that workload.

• Reworked the starting checkpoint. Your time doesn't start until you leave the starting area. The checkpoint has a new model and more accurate hitbox.

Changes in progress that aren't going to be in this release:

• The animation for the main player is underway, and the corgi modeling has started! Cyborgi incoming!

• Hop 3 has been reworked to focus on teaching the player air strafing.

• Hop 4 has been reworked to give the player practice at chaining hops together.

• Hop 5 has been reworked to give the player a tutorial for putting all of what you've learned together

• The collectible system will receive a massive rework and rewards will be added in the coming months!
