Hmmm, bigger number but not a very exciting update for y'all unfortunately.

Behind the scenes I've updated the project from running on a 2022 version of GameMaker's LTS engine, to now the most up-to-date version of GameMaker. Some things broke in the process and have since been resolved, but ultimately it has been worth it enable some more cool stuff that I've got cooking.

So, for some more behind-the-scenes insights:
-Daily Level Challenges:

Procedural level gen is working perfectly, just needs a little balancing and that side of it is ready.
Still working on integrating Steam Leaderboards into the Daily Level Challenge.
All 3 biomes will be able to generated in the Daily Level prod gen algorithm.

-Linux version:

Testing on Steam Deck shortly, as Steam Deck optimization and Linux build update will push on the same day.

And...I have one last question for anyone still reading. I started seeing some pixel distortion in the game after updating my AMD graphics drivers to the latest release. I've since rolled back to the Nov. 2023 drivers and had 0 issues, but was just wondering if anybody else with an AMD graphics card was having issues with pixel distortion in the game?
