Virtual Cottage · published
Hello fellow roomies,
we want to introduce the latest version of Virtual Cottage to you!
Changes:
- New music added:
Some people from the community approached us and asked if we'd be interested to add their music. We've listened to the samples and think they are amazing! Thanks for contributing, bka iz, Dreeme, Himitsu, Joe Bizzaro & Omaure :)
- The cat:
Since so many of you seem to love the cat, we let her stay for now. It changes the spot inside the cottage, depending on the current time.
- Winter season:
The default weather outside the cottage is now snow. Rain can still be turned on though!
- Reconstruction time:
As you might have noted, some of the potted plants were moved. Apparently something gets built there? Time will tell.
- Swapped out the splash screen
- Moved the music player down (general rework of UI placement)
- Changed standard screen resolution from 800x600 to 1200x800
- Bug with the achievements:
Some users have reported issues with achievements not getting triggered properly. We've now implement better logs that will hopefully help us to track what's not working. Please be patient with us, we're working on it to get this resolved.
- Optimization
Thanks to the help of Gramps the code was refactored. This motivated us to clean up the project in general ;). A lot of you know that this is our first coding adventure using Godot, so Virtual Cottage was not built for all these updates. And every time we add something, other things stop working.
With this update we have cleaned up a lot of the rough patches that were preventing future features. So you might not see it... but if you're reading this, now you know!
We also want to AGAIN shout out Gramps (from CoaguCo Industries), who built the Steam integration for Godot and who helped us clean up the project <3
