Streamer Mode, Bug Fixes, Small Update (Build 315)

This is a small update that brings a handful of nice improvements in the meantime while the larger updates for later this year are still being worked on.

Notable things include

• Anonymize Names (aka Streamer Mode) - Toggle this On or Off under Options -> Online. This will turn disguise all player names on the UI to avoid privacy concerns for players recording or broadcasting content.
• Updated local game docs, added Credits and .css styling
• Updated launcher to include changes from fossil project - we've now open sourced the compatibilty launcher under MIT license so that it may inspire similar fixes for games with similar technology issues
• Added new sounds on Main menu load in
• Change death sounds slightly to be more impact sounds and less screeching sounds
• Revived the old “use ability” dragon vocalizations but with more up to date attentuation
• Bumped default UI audio mix up 10%
• Bumped default music audio mix down maybe 15% by default
• Added egg hatching sounds when spawning (themes of rebirth)
• Added heartbeat sounds on spawn menu (themes of rebirth)
• Added some additional feedback sound to roar mechanic
• Adjusted timing of Spore landing events when entering Lairworld to happen sooner
• Improved visibility and intensity of various rewards, spores, and accomplishments on the UI
• Improved visibility on LOW MAGIC indicator
• Adjusted scoreboard positioning/size
• Further reduced bots chattiness
• Renamed a few menu buttons for more clarity
• Fixed an issue where Leave Game confirmation would open twice if chosen with a mouse, causing loss of input if the player tried to cancel
• Fixed places in the game that showed your Level incorrectly (+1 what it should’ve been)
• Fixed several instances in the game where progress bars for XP were calculated incorrectly to due using deprecated code
• Set default Level to 0, instead of 1; You will notice you are -1 level from where you were before. That is actually a correction, not a demotion.
• Fixed a bug where multiple revisits to the customize menu would duplicate the character display model
• Added stats of how many unlocks you have claimed on the customize menu, per category
• Add scroll control detail to Customize menu
• Add shadows/improved layout to Customize menu
• Added animations to Customize menu UI
• Fixed audio and HUD issues on moving to customize menu
• Added gamepad button for tailstrike in Controls help screen to match the existing keybindings & what’s shown in Options menu
• Removed a default spore claim slot which caused issues with the newer Lairworld entry logic
• You can now trigger pyrite with melee hits
• Revised some post processing effects
• Improved some layout sizes and anchoring in Main menu buttons list
• Improved some layout anchoring in Guide menu
• Updated the “Defeat” music played on match result screen to be the correct one, was previously using the same music for both Victory and Defeat when a Defeat track existed

What's coming?

Working hard at delivering the following things:

• Single player challenges/mode
• Improved dragon (about 60% there)
• New maps
• New cosmetics and cosmetic types (being designed)
• New magic behaviors and a new magic type (designed, building)
• New perks and abilities (designed)
• New game modes (5-6 new game modes, some are already being tested)

See the full roadmap here.

I may be making changes to the way commits and roadmap works in the near future, but trying to find a way that doesn't vaporize these old links.

Hope you enjoy these updates!
See you in the arenas,
