Sunday Update 05/10/2020 - New Beta Build

Update: Fixed a bug with the boss mode cheat UI that caused them to track the radar cheat instead of the proper cheats.

This week I did some optimizations to how the "show room" camera is rendered to increase performance, made some small UI improvements, added some additional cheats for Bot AI, and added two stages to the puppet animation.

Messing around with different settings I was able to find that while looking at the "Show Room" camera the CPU cycles nearly doubled vs other cameras. I did some tweaking to render distance, and other render options to reduce the number of cycles down 40% on my CPU (from 10 ms to 6 ms) increasing my FPS from 80 FPS to 140 FPS. I'm hoping that the performance increase is much more noticeable on lower end hardware.

I removed options from the settings menu that have been phased out over the updates to avoid confusion. This includes "Intense Lighting" and "Nightmare Mode". Intense lighting was a flawed approach to having different quality levels that involved having two separate scenes which made making changes to old scenes cumbersome. Nightmare mode is now a public feature, so it's not really a cheat anymore. 

Speaking of difficulty, there's a new cheat that will allow the preview of "Boss Mode" A.I.'s which over-tunes a specific bot to ridiculous levels. The idea is to be able to have a night for story or event purposes where a single bot is significantly more difficult than the other bots. You should not be able to beat all 6 bots on boss mode at max difficulty without using dildos, before they're added to regular game play boss mode A.I.'s will be immune to dildos. "Boss Mode" isn't a difficulty preset: it changes the difficulty scaling values so a "Boss Mode" at the lowest difficulty is probably weaker than a regular AI on the hardest difficulty.

I also added stages 2 and 3 to the puppet which can be previewed from the patron rewards menu. It's still not triggerable in gameplay.
