Hello :) Patch v1.2.41 brings a few bug fixes and minor changes. NOTE: 🔥 below indicates a change inspired by community suggestions and feedback! BUG FIXES & CHANGELOG - The Splash Screen takes less time now on start up. - You can now press any key to skip the Splash Screen instead of just Enter, Space, and left-mouse click. - Fixed the size of some GUI text on the Title Screen because they were too large at some resolutions. - Fixed a bug where more than three logs could be thrown when typed quickly before three had landed. 🔥 Fixed a bug where typing WATER before any logs where thrown would cause a crash. - Fixed a bug where QUIT didn't turn gold when typed. HINTS Thanks for checking out my boring patch notes! Here are a few command hints: FOREVER This will keep the logs from burning down. Type it again to turn it off. FIREWORKS / FIRECRACKER (/ω＼) TWILIGHT I've been using this one a lot lately. It fits well with January's winter-y mood.

Update v1.2.4 - Demo, Two New Colors, Fixes
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44744249/96590065edfe7578f4250fa1ea5c232a53c55baa.gif Hello! Update v1.2.4 is out and it brings a demo and two new color commands. NOTE: 🔥 below indicates a change inspired by community suggestions and feedback! DEMO There's now a demo available to try out on the Pixel Fireplace store page. Give it a shot and see if Pixel Fireplace vibes with you! TWO NEW COLOR COMMANDS: PINK AND CMYK {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44744249/518de14a22067013f8d806fdccf204689cbd4a4a.png - Type PINK after the fire is lit to activate the pink color command. 🔥 Type CMYK after the fire is lit to activate the cmyk color command. HOTFIXES & CHANGELOG - Adjusted the burn speed of HOTDOG command because it was burning too quickly. - Fixed a bug with second-screen fullscreen mode where the window could be moved. 🔥 'Esc to quit' added to the title screen. - Some font adjustments to address inconsistencies. - Added some characters to a font for the demo pop up message. They're not used for commands. KNOWN ISSUES - If a second screen has different DPI scaling compared to the main screen, second-screen fullscreen mode won't work. I don't know yet if this is fixable or if it's an engine bug. For now, set DPI scaling the same on both screens (eg. 125%) to allow second screen fullscreen mode. The resolutions can be different, by the way (eg. 1920x1080 and 3840x2160).
