The Video Game Machine: Alpha 1A Change Log
– Improvements –
+ Added a [Delete] button to The Arcade, so players can delete games they’ve accidentally uploaded.
+ Control Text in the ‘Pause’ Menu is now specific to the genre. When you’re in a Top Down game, for instance, the ‘Jump’ controls will be hidden.
+ Enemies spawned from blocks can now have a target to trigger whenever they die.
+ Tiles can now swap to “Bush” in Adventure games.
+ Tile Swapper gizmo will now spawn a tile on the position if there isn’t one.
+ Locked doors will have a notification above them telling the player what item they need to unlock it.
– Bug Fixes –
+ Fixed hang on exit the first time the game was run and activation was successful.
+ Screenshots for a game will no longer get overwritten / lost when a game is being edited.
+ Outro text will now send the player to the title screen – not Level 1.
+ The time that Outro text stays up is now dependent on the length of the text.
+ Games that you’ve made will now properly state you as the creator (we were accidentally taking credit for your hard work – sorry about that!)
+ Fixed issue with lighting post process effect causing outline around screen at low health in lower light tilemaps
+ Fixed issue with projectiles giving incorrect knockback to enemies
+ Enter key now activates levers instead of up key in adventure mode
+ Swapping a tile type will now cause it to update the surrounding adjacency correctly
+ Tile Swapper gizmo now destroys all tiles on the position instead of just the first found tile
+ Item locks now persistent with game state
+ Movement group now fills in extra info needed for game state loading
+ Persona ID and display name stored in game data as well as in the manifest now
+ Fixed issues with loading a save game saved in a dungeon
+ Leaving a dungeon will take you to the entrance you came in from again
+ Fixed weird lines on sprites (from https://forums.stardock.net/495223/page/1/#3751028 – thanks Silver-Streak!)
+ Adventure games: Fixed Camera offset and zoom so a room fits properly within the cameras bounds.
+ Deleting any key lock gizmo on a prop will now correctly delete that prop.
+ Fixed some props that spawn gizmos not displaying said gizmos without first entering play mode.
+ Did a pass on Shadow position on Heroes & Enemies in top-down games. (https://forums.stardock.net/495226/page/1/#3751161 – thanks AcornCereal!)
+ Format tags in dialog boxes will now properly format text as it’s being built (ie. you won’t see the <color> tag built as an NPC is talking)
+ Fixed the likely cause of someone having infinite lives.
+ Added a 3 second delay in the Game Over screen (prevents the player from accidentally button-slamming they way past it)
+ Fixed being able to mash enter/space when prompted with a post-level “save your game” dialog to force it to advance more than one level
+ Fireman no longer goes bald when facing up in an Adventure game
