Checkpoint 🥚
- New sound when touching checkpoint egg
- Multiple checkpoint can now be triggered*
*Before this update, checkpoint had a simple system: you touch it, it checks what level you're in and then removes itself when you spawn outside of it. This resulted in all checkpoints being removed, as they all shared the same instruction: to be removed as soon as the player spawn. Now, no matter the checkpoint, they all have their own number (think of it as an ID) and can be used individually without other checkpoints being removed. This new system is even tested and present in Level 1-2.
Quality of Life (QoL) ✨
- Adjusted words in settings menu to be more readable
- Audio is now loaded dynamically*
- Graphics are now loaded dynamically*
*This means that when you launch the game, you won't stutter trying to catch up and load files that weren't loaded before as you play, and you also won't keep files that aren't needed (e.g. having title music loaded in memory while you're playing the game. The Title music will only load if you are in title, and unload when leaving said title). Everything is loaded/unloaded during transition for smoother gameplay: this results in a great performance boost across all systems. Expect longer transition time and less stutter.
- Added a failsafe if music cannot be loaded, so instead of crashing, it simply doesn't play anything
- Made it so it is possible to leave the world map by holding the attack button

Reminder 📩
- You have a bug report system in the title menu. Please use it wisely to help me improve the game!
What's next? 🎈
I'm hoping to get a demo build before the end of summer (summer in Canada ends around the end of September), so expect a few random updates if you have the game. This means the game will be public, and I won't have to share a Steam key with individuals anymore! Additionally, I want to get a trailer up and running as quickly as possible. Expect bugs in the sound (such as missing sound or a straight-up crash) and a bit of random stuttering since I have redone the way I load things and I'm still adjusting the game to it. My goal is to have 0 stutters while in a level.
