Today's update adds some new quality of life features, with the biggest being new support for custom soundtracks. Thanks for your continued feedback and support!
Update: There were a couple bugs and unexpected corner cases with the custom soundtrack feature, but I think these are all fixed with the hotfixes. Sorry about the flurry of small patches!
Changes
- Custom soundtrack support: The game now has support for custom music! To add your own music to the game follow these steps:
- Right click the game from your Steam library, click Manage, then click Browse Local Files.
- Double click to open the Custom folder, and then open the Music folder contained within the "Custom" folder.
- Place your music here! The game supports ".mp3", ".flac", and ".ogg" format files.
- Mute when window inactive: The audio options screen now has an option, 'Mute when window inactive' that mutes all audio when the window does not have keyboard focus. This option is off by default. This option is useful if you occasionally need to tab out of the game.
- Options reset buttons: The audio options, controls handling, gameplay preferences, graphics options, and visuals options screens now have 'Reset' buttons to set options to their default values.
- Credits cleanup: Moved the 'Scroll Paintings' credits list to the 'Chaos Mode' section.
- Hotfix: Going back and forth between the options and title menu no longer cycles custom music.
- Hotfix 1.2.4: Fixed an issue with using custom music with only a single song.
- Hotfix 1.2.4: When using custom music with custom title, game over, completion, credits, or tutorial music, this music is excluded from the gameplay music pool.
- Hotfix 1.2.5: Fixed an issue where the custom music would only play from the alternate save folder location.
This directory also contains a README.txt containing information on how to setup custom title and game over screen music.
