I kept working on the menus this month. I added a "settings" part in the pause menu with new options.
- Added settings for music volume and sound volume in there
- Added settings for fullscreen and windowed in there
Other options in that settings screen (control mapping & language) aren't implemented yet, although you can still configure your controls from the main menu.
- Control mapping menu can now be navigated with keyboard
- Added a "reset controls to default" button in there, as well as a "confirm controls" button which prevents errors
- Implemented menu icons lighting up properly and added some help text to navigate menus (there's still a few errors lurking that I must fix)
- The new settings are saved when you update them
And that's it for this update. There's still menu stuff to do but my priorities lie elsewhere right now, I will be focusing on making the demo feel polished for the steam next fest to come.
