V0.9996 #1: Clearer inventory, castle fixes, Floppa Kart fixes
A new version number. The inventory gets clear tabs and a neutral look, the Odyssey castle and intro are cleaned up, and a round of Floppa Kart track fixes.
A note first
- Finding the right UI for the main game is a back-and-forth process: change something, look at it in the game, change it again. That's why so many patch notes lately were about the inventory. Sorry that the patch notes got this spammy; it will calm down once the UI is where it should be.
Main game: inventory
- Neutral dark colours instead of brown and gold. Yellow is now only used for what is selected or open, so you always see where you are.
- Tabs are real buttons with an outline. The open tab and the selected item get a yellow frame; the selected item also glows.
- Craft, Armor, Arrows and Bait sit after a divider with their own small icons, instead of between the item categories under a "MORE" label.
- The rarity colour is a line right under each item's picture instead of a strip at the bottom of the card.
- The screen title is plain text; the drawn backpack icon next to it is gone.
- The blueprint mark on crafting cards no longer covers the "Blueprint" tag, and the Fishdex buttons at the top no longer overlap.
Main game: other fixes
- Freecraft works in the new crafting screen (no Crafting Table needed) and shows "FREECRAFT ON".
- One loading screen from the main menu until your island is ready. The old loading picture before it is gone.
- New seed bag icons with the crop on the label.
- Characters: Nix no longer wears a party hat by default, bat ears stay attached to the head under hats, the hoodie's hood lies on the back instead of sticking out, sunglasses hide the eyes, and tails go behind backpacks instead of through them.
- Console: give works for every fish (give fish_prism_squid), every bug (give bug_<id>), seeds, crops, food, ores, saplings and every decoration. Press Tab after "give " for the full list.
Floppa Odyssey: castle and intro
- Intro: townsfolk no longer keep walking on the spot while the scene plays.
- Intro: Bingus now sends the Golden Shrimp flying into the palace windows with sparkle trails, instead of the old effect where they hung in the sky.
- Intro: Princess Sogga throws the Odyssey Cap to you in the festival crowd inside the palace grounds. You see it land, pick it up and put it on.
- A new game now starts the adventure in the festival yard after the intro.
- Castle: the flickering wall at the kingdom gate is fixed, the purple windows no longer stick out of the palace wall, and other overlapping wall pieces on the palace front are cleaned up.
- Castle hall: the stairs are real marble steps with a red runner and gold handrails, the hall sign is a framed plaque, there are arched windows beside the 30 door, and the numbered doors show their number on a round gold plate.
- Castle hall: the blue rug no longer clips through the red runner.
Floppa Kart
- Track fixes are being finished; the details and before / after screenshots are on each track page under "Bug fixes & known issues".
Website
- Every Floppa Kart track page has a "Bug fixes & known issues" section with before / after screenshots.
- The UI page shows the new inventory look; the previous look is kept as an earlier version.
