Finally, the 0.4.3 release! This includes a barebones version of the miniquest and the achievement of clearing plants. 

Sorry for the delays. Following the previous post about the project crashing, there will be a separate post that details what will happen when the project crashes, and how the next dev-cycle will be structured by learning from this. 

Now that many of the other systems and cinema tape are done, more focus is on koubold and woof miniquest for the December update, including its cinema animation!

------

What's New

Cinema Train

Endings

Elevator Ending

The ending after going through most of the game. Mox pulls out her phone and does a report on the ship.

"It's right at the start" - Mox's Ship Ending

The ship controls in Mox's ship is finally interactable!

"Do nothing" - Phone Ending

Leaving Mox idle will make her pull out her phone. Wait around and she'll get so bored she leaves.

Cushion Plant

The health station. This guy solves the problem of clearing the circles, while also being a reliable place for clothes! Also includes sauce animation.

(Barebones) Koubold and Woof Miniquest

Mox can meet koubold and woof in the mainhub after meeting both of them. 

A few interactions in the game, including koubold giving Mox clothes and woof getting annoyed when Mox aims at them. 

Combine and Drop Ammo

Ammo can be dropped and combined using buttons next to the ammo. This was originally for the 0.4.3 update, but it was also included in an earlier version too! 

Extras and Stats

• Bored Mode - The 'life' bar depletes over time since she's getting bored. Running out or filling the bar will end the game.
• Exploration Mode - Explore the ship at your leisure with plants idling about
• Stats - Currently keeps track of plants cleared, found koubold, and found woof.

Achievements

• Dutiful Citizen - Picked up all the trash.
• Janitor - Just clearing a few plants.

New Things

• Pseudo gallery - Getting 3 circles goes back to the start of the level. It became annoying having to go through the creature chamber over and over again, and Exploration Mode fulfills the role of a pseudo-gallery now. Holding up will now enter the gallery chamber after getting 3 circles.
• Grapple sprite is now finally animated.

Bugfixes

• Fixed riding the train again preventing from going back to the train station.
• Fixed koubold teleporting when pressing 'A' in the controller.
• Fixed Bored Ending Mox jittering.

What to expect in the next progress log

•  Mox Meetup Cinema Tape draft!

~~Previous notes~~

0.4.2

Nice! 0.4.2 is stable. Bored mode and exploration mode are in the game, including a few bugfixes. There will be one more future fix that will include the koubold and woof miniquest.

After this is done, we can head straight to Mox Meetup cinema animation for the December update!

0.4.1

Important Note: Koubold and Woof Miniquest is not in the 0.4.1 Release. Expect fixes in the next few days. In the meantime, here's a stable release.

Found the reason for the constant crashing a few days ago. It was Koubold and woof miniquest, so the project had to be rolled back to 0.4.1 to avoid the project crashing.

Unfortunately, there's not enough time to fix and reimplement features, so a few features will be disabled for now.

Sorry for those that were excited for more of bubs and woof this update. Expect the fix and new features in a few days.

The download links will be updated to 0.4.3 once the features are stable.

What to expect in the next few days

 - Reimplementation of koubold and woof miniquest and a few rolled-back features.
