Hey there peeps!
Since Update #11 we started getting reports of the game crashing when you'd press "Continue" after a run, and sometimes also when returning to the main menu! While working on a fix (thank you all for the reports you sent!) we also added a couple of other features. Let's take a look.
Changelog
Added a Fog Thickness multiplier for earning Spikes (permanent currency)
each fog thickness level will increase the overall multiplier for how many spikes you make per run by 0.1. (Fog Thickness 5 = 1.5x)
Dynamic Main Menu
the train you see in the main menu now mirrors the one of the save slot
there are 4 different camera views that can now happen in the main menu, the default one is most likely
changing the save slot will also immediately update the train visuals
improved file saving
in order to prevent the loss of saves, we're now writing to a different file and only once the operation is done, the file is copied over the previous one
this should prevent all instances of total progress loss when the game crashes and tries to save progress at the same time
we have more that we want to do here, and we're already working on those, expect the improvements in future updates!
fixed the "press continue -> crash" bug
we've got a lot of reports about this one, thank you all! We tried to fix this one as quickly as we could. The issue is now resolved.
"Mirage Mastery" removes incoming attacks instead of invincibility (same effect/result, but a different approach)
increased the probability of shops in the second and third segments
audio tweaks for better audio quality related to the newest tracks
selected carriages will now no longer reset when you choose a different locomotive, your current selection will remain the active one
fixed a memory leak which would happen whenever the game generated a new world map
(loading the game now will show you the train you either last used or are in a run with depending on the save slot)
(coming back to a run with a destroyed second carriage)
(Fog thickness now adds a multiplier to the number of Spikes you're making at the end of a run)
That's it for this one! As mentioned earlier in the post, we're super thankful for the feedback, reviews and reports you've been sending us, thanks!
