On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Hey! Here comes another update to make your dino experience awesome. For the first time you can now zoom in on your dinos and follow them around!

Cinematic Camera Mode

  • Turn on cinematic mode for a hands-off, HUD-free experience

  • Watch as your dinos entertain themselves while still making money

  • Turn off to return to normal view

Follow Camera Mode

  • Follows the selected dino while still allowing interaction

  • Select different dinos, adjust the zoom and have fun

Scenery Placing and Editing Rework

  • Scenery layer has been completely reworked so it sits above everything (properly this time!)

  • Scenery placing and moving has been streamlined to be smoother and easier

  • Scenery now locks within the habitat bounds once you drag it in or after you edit it

  • Scenery now shows the up-to-date depth as you move it in front and behind others

  • SFX changes for dropping outside of the habitat

Bug Fixes

  • Research items in the main dino card now refresh while open (thanks Sean for spotting this)

  • Fixed HUD layers for all in the game

New Settings (Check them out!)

  • Added "Hide HUD when Mouse is Idle" checkbox and delay slider

  • Added "Hide HUD in Cinematic Mode" checkbox

  • Added "Always Show Money in HUD" option for those who want to see their money all the time

Note:

The new Cinematic/Follow modes, Auto Hide, layer adjustments and Scenery rework are quite big architectural changes and may have some other impacts or issues as a result. If you notice anything odd or something broken as a result please let me know and I'll get right on it!
