  Steam input updates and bug fixes - Release 27

  Flying Seagull animation on Boggles Beach was a little glitchy, it has now been fixed to where it no longer clips and resets weirdly. (thank you fizzy fox) Flying Pidgeon animation on Ratopolis was a little glitchy, it has now been fixed to where it no longer clips and resets weirdly. (thank you fizzy fox) Fixed an issue where if you are playing offline the game would crash when trying to trigger achievements. This was an issue with moving to the newest version of godot steam. The grading for the Temple of the Owls was too harsh and it is now easier to get an S on the level and it requires picking up far less coins. Widened the rooftop ladders on Ratopolis to make falling off a little harder, as it was too easy to fall off. Fixed an issue on Silly Sewers where you could just jump through one of the solid walls in a very specific spot and fall into the endless void. Fixed an issue where you could skip the sand maze on boggles beach with some creative roll jumping. (screw you fizzy fox) Fixed an issue on pumpkin party where you could stand in part of the waterway and get across without the spinny ride. Took away some of the ground squares from Pumpkin Party around the spinny ride so you can no longer use roll jumping to get across without using the spinny ride. Added a bunch of bushes to the spike trap room in Temple of Owls to prevent people from using the tiny bit of ground to skip the spike trap segments. Fixed an issue where you would collide with the shells for the hermit crab that would prevent from moving for a split second. The cannons on boggle beach now block the octoboss projectiles and its now easier to load the canon The Orange button on Temple of the Owls appeared more flat than the other buttons because of the lighting. It has been scaled on its Y axis upwards to look more consistent with the design of the other buttons. The animation on the well has been changed for the upcoming mine level. The steam inputs have been fixed for all controllers and we ar...

  Early Access Release 24 - Polish and stability updates

  Dialog engine has been added to the game. Tutorial signs removed and replaced with dialog text pops. The golden cheese now has a metallic shader so it is actually gold looking. The coins now have a metallic shader so they actually look like metal. The goth rat on the pumpkin carnival level now his dialog and a lemonade fetch quest. Lemonade quest achievement added. After talking to the goth rat npc on the pumpkin carnival level a shortcut to get back to the main part of the pumpkin carnival level appears. Hedge maze has been rebuilt using hedge assets with less geometry, optimized and shrunk down a bit in size after reports of issues on the steam deck. Number of coins in hedge maze reduced to cut down on the work needed to get an S. Made the ambient light and fog less yellow on the weird woods so it looks softer. The barrels on the beach level are now larger to make certain platforming segments easier. Moved one of the flying seagull enemies on the way to shell island on the beach level to be easier to hit with the ball or the bottle. Removed the outline shaders from the cliff surrounds on the tutorial level. Cliff surrounds on the tutorial level have been moved so the tutorial island is in the center. The place holder icon for level 12 has been removed as the out of early access 1.0 version of the game will have 11 levels including the tutorial level. There may be an additional set of levels released later as free or paid dlc (it will probably be free dlc).

  The Interactions Update

  First off, sorry this update was such a long wait, I had a lot going on that prevented me from getting it out in a timely manner, but I will be doing my best to do better in the future. The main addition to this update is being able to interact with background objects, trees, pretty much anything with a outline on it can be interacted with in some way. For controller users, we will be updating the official controller layout soon for steam inputs. The next update will hopfuly include npc text boxes to replace the stupid tutorial signs and also allow for npcs to be interacted with if we want to add them to certain levels.Full patch notes below:Added a interact button (e on keyboard or y on controller)Outline shaders have been removed from anything that cannot be interacted with, collected, enemies, or can be pushed around with physics. If you notice the outline shader on a static object that cannot be interacted with please report it in the steam discussions thread in the bug thread.Outline shaders added to anything that can be interacted with that previously did not have them and enemies that did not have them. If you see an enemy that does not have an outline shader please report it to the bugs thread in the steam discussions.Outline shaders updated to be slightly thicker, have less post processing, and no longer turn the camera black if you move your camera inside of items with the shader, such as larger trees. The following objects are now interactable with using E on the keyboard or Y on the controller: all trees on the weird woods, all Umbrellas on the weird woods and boggles beach, all smoke stacks on ratopolis, fan bushes on the temple of owls, spiral plants on the temple of owls, the secret chest on the temple of owls, the bent trees on the temple of owls, hammocks on the temple of owls, lollipops on the sugar and squeaks levelBillboard textures updated on the city level.Optimized the hedge maze more so it lags less, removed floor shadows (you couldn't see th...
