Highlights

Completely Remade The Dialogue System

The old dialogue system was too laggy and extremely unreliable, always causing problems for me. So I decided to rebuild it from scratch, meaning there's an entirely new dialogue system in the open beta version of the game.

Performance Overhaul

There weren't really any problems with performance before (besides the dialogue system), but now there definitely aren't.

Pause Menu

A quick way to return to the main menu, or just to catch your breath.

Speedrunning Timer

I wanted to add some replayability, so I added a timer in-game that shows your time for your playthrough at the end of the credits. Time starts when the store is first loaded, and ends as soon as the final objective is complete.

Reworked Theme Song

A new version of the Store theme song has been released, and has been updated in-game to match.

Graphical Overhaul

Many of the props and objects have been reworked to look nicer, some have been added, and a lot of art style changes were made to be more consistent with the overall theme.

Crosshair

The crosshair is now crispy.
