Quality of Life:
Added a phone tutorial when you first arrive in the city
This will better communicate the goals to the player without being intrusive to the open-ended nature of the game
Easter egg :)
Bug Fixes:
Added safeguards to prevent broken functionality when spamming the interact button
This was observed specifically in Gacha and Fishing - thank you for reporting this in discussion!
Fixed the lag spike in Pollen Pals
When spawning the powerups it would put a lot of load on the system all at once. Distributed the loading of the effects to reduce the spike
Stability:
Upgraded to the latest engine version
Changed the default resolution to 720p windowed
This may help lower end systems on initial startup
Changed the max FPS from 144 -> 60
This was likely putting too much demand on lower end systems
Removed volumetric fog
I don't think the fog added much to the ambiance. In fact, removing it will reduce to GPU demand and provides a better view of the city that pops a lot more
Reduced shadow detail
Another setting which should alleviate some system demand while looking comparable
Removed unused assets
There were a lot of assets from proof-of-concept stages. Cleaned them up and reduced the overall file size significantly
Hi all! I vaguely remember saying the last update was the final one...
There were a few more improvements I wanted to make before closing the chapter and going full steam ahead for the next project (that may or may not be a hint).
Thank you all for playing Another Day with You but also for providing feedback. I'm taking all of that with me to the next project. ADWY is a very special game for me and others.
1 million thanks,
