PatchNEWTs!

The FINAL update EVER!?

Well no, probably not.

This update is pretty much just me trying to cross my P's and dot my Y's so I theoretically would never have to touch the game again.

If you aren't aware, NEWT is actually my practice game! The REAL big fish has always been my RPG game: Canon, and now that I have just about two years of NEWT work under my belt, I am finally getting back to priority "numero ocho" (number one in French).

So all this update really does is add some polish where it was needed, which means its time for everyones favourite: UN-ORDERED BULLET POINT LISTS!!!!

ADDED: 

  • Unlocks!
    • There are several things to unlock now! Check the far room in the lobby for the unlock requirements.
  • One of the unlocks is a way to set the seed for your run!
    • This has a bug I wasn't able to fix. Essentially the first time you play a seed it will generate everything one way, but then all subsequent times you play the same seed (after say quitting the run) it will be the same -different- generation from the first.
    • No idea how to fix this, but I doubt anyones gonna care that much in the games current state tbh. 
  • A whole new pixel perfect camera system: StannCam!
  • A secret minigame!!
  • Saving and loading! (Still pretty buggy)
  • Rebindable controls!!!
  • Controller support for all UI elements!!!!!

CHANGED:

  • Refactored all of the player characters code.
    • Obviously the character is the first thing you work on in a platformer, so I finally took the time to go over my two-ish years of movement code and replace the several hundred duplicate lines that should have been methods since day one lol
    • It should work pretty much exactly the same, if not run a little better.

CONCLUSION:

I think that's it! This is a pretty big moment for me cus it means I'm not gonna touch the game much after this unless I missed a huge game-breaking bug or something. I hope you enjoy this build; It's goal was longevity, so everything has been made pretty "sustainable" if that makes any sense.

Also as a request yet again, I still would love if you streamed the game and let me know. One of my friends streamed it once but I was too late to watch the VOD and Twitch deleted it and I'm still kicking myself for it.

Please just let your friends know, share it around, I really don't care about the money. I just hope people enjoy it, and who knows, maybe I'll come back to this someday if Canon is burning me tf out and I need some silly thing to occupy my mind. Thank you for playing, if anyone actually reads these then it means I'm doing something right.
