Beta Build v0.4.5x3 - Sound emission rework, new UI and resolutions
Added 2022-01-12 23:14:06 +0000 UTCLots more technical features this build featuring a proper pause menu for both pausing the game as well as accessing a number of other functions such as loading your game, changing your preferences and setting resolutions. Beyond this, the sound emission system has been reworked and overhauled to be much more consistent, clear and reliable with a new sound bar to help keep better track of how much sound the player is currently emitting (and thus how far away they can be heard by enemies).
With the new resolutions, the OFFICIAL resolution of the game will be shifting from 1280x720 to 1920x1080. Due to how scaling pixel art games goes, there are some limitations with resolutions - namely, downscaling from 1080p results in everything onscreen remaining the same size, but the window and UI size is reduced, effectively reducing the amount of the level the player can see at once - this is the only way to avoid sprite and screen tearing for these smaller scales while still providing support for players with smaller screen resolutions. The good news is fullscreen now should work perfectly for 1080p and 4k monitors, and in addition a new zoom level has been added to increase customization and flexibility for various resolutions!
