Music and Polishes
So this changelog is a little later than usual, but once again, more progress has been made. This time around, I’ve figured out a way to stop the player from clipping through things (though much more testing is still required), and I’ve even found ways to optimize the player controller. Audio work is now in full swing as well, and we’ve incorporated some voices to the Conspiracy Theorists.
Meanwhile, I’m working on a music track for the Park, and hopefully afterward, the Level Selection screen. I’m halfway done with the park music track at this point. It should hopefully be in a finished state by sometime next week.
At any rate, here’s the new list of changes:
