Update 1.3 - Upping the standards

Hey there, curious about the new juicy content? You've come to the right place! In here we will cover everything that has been added, including a fresh new DLC.

Now let's first start with the list of added things

- Localisation (buttons, cutscenes, etc.)
- Language selection setting
- Multiple languages by the power of Geoffrey and Google translate (I need money for translators and up to this point this game generates no revenue lol)
- 3D sweeper orientation controls through middle mouse button
- DLC (see DLC section at the bottom for what it contains)
- More reflective spots in the game for RTX
- New UI assets thanks to Nathalie
- Settings are accessible in game as well
- Prevents accidental clicks when entering settings
- Can toggle RTX in game now when launched in DX12 mode
- Galaxy ambient music
- New achievement
- Bugs for more work in the future

A lot of things got updated as well

- Credits
- 3D sweeper playability
- 3D sweeper readability
- 3D sweeper starting tile is always empty block instead of number (small chance for number though)
- Better water caustics where required
- Some puzzle visual improvements in Asia
- Names of certain buttons
- Dialogues to be more fitting content wise
- UI menu to be more organized
- UI in game to be more organized
- All UI assets to be fresh and professional
- Changed main font to Arial for full localisation integration
- Made tiles a bit reflective
- Galaxy music is a bit more... intense

The list of things that got fixed

- Numbers background
- Numbers colors
- All known 3D Sweeper bugs (Galaxy level)
- Several materials with shading glitches
- Speedrun achievements now only trigger when you win
- UI scaling in multiple (pretty sure it works in all) aspect ratios (eg. 16:10 and 4:3 should now show a normal UI)
- Inactive internet connection should no longer cause issues
- You can no longer accidently click on tiles while adjusting settings
- Running in DX12 enables RTX settings and running in DX11 shows how to enable RTX settings
- Inaccurate skill percentage when completing level
- Sometimes game completion not being saved

DLC - Customization

This DLC is focused on customization. This DLC will also gain more additions over time, where as the price will also increase properly. So yes, this is not a free DLC. The main purpose is to support the dev (yes, that is me) and to generate a bit of revenue for higher quality updates.
- You can create a custom flag color
- Added multiple new flags to choose from and play with
- New levels: Garden and Garden Plus
- Garden, for the sake of your PC this is not unlimited, but allows you to be creative with the grid generator
- Garden Plus, want to stick to 2D but with more challenges? This is pretty much as unlimited as it will get, generate your own crazy grid! Warning, extremely large grids can cause the game to freeze or crash depending on the specs of your system.

Final words

In order to be able to launch the game with RTX options, make sure to launch it through Steam while also ticking the DX12 option.

I want to finish this patch note with a shout-out to two people that have helped me a lot with this update.

The localization tool was made by Geoffrey due to which I can support a lot languages now. They might or might not be grammatically accurate, but at least it's a start. The revenue from the DLC should help me to hire proper translators eventually.

The UI overhaul was done by Nathalie. She improved the UI flow in a lot of ways. The most noticeable will be the visuals, but also the significantly fewer amount of clicks.

You have come to the end, thank you for reading it and hopefully you will have a blast with the new features!

To celebrate this update and the launch of the DLC there will be a little launch discount. What are you waiting for? Get sweeping!
