012.435 (In Progress)

Additions

• Added a Portal Block. This is similar to a Teleport Block, but does not require action to activate, it teleports you on contact. So, when you touch this, you get teleported to its counterpart. Both portals are inactive after you teleport. They will be grey when inactive. You must travel 2 blocks away for them to be active again, preventing you from being stuck hopping back and forth repeatedly.
• Added a Sign In With Google button, so players can log in and register easier. Also wrote some baseline code to see if the user is a member of the channel. I had to reach out to YouTube to get permission to use this part of their API though. I'd like to add perks if the player is a member of my YouTube channel. I don't know if I'll get this ability though, so far they are keeping this level of access to the API guarded. Maybe they'll let me through during the verification process (they say it takes a while to verify, so at the moment there's lots of warnings when you try to use this feature).
• Added multiple endpoints for Stripe for processing payments. We are now offering a $4.99 subscription model located in Account > Billing. I'm not 100% sure how much of the game I'm going to gate behind the subscription and how much I'm going to give away for free. I may revisit this later when I am happy enough with the appearance of the website that I'm okay making YouTube videos on it. There are still many bugs to fix and many areas of the site to improve yet.

Improvements

• Changed the font on notice boards to the website's font. More modern, less pixel-y.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that would make you teleport if you were far enough away from a Grappling Hook/Gun as it hooked.
• Fixed an issue with the info screen (character level / experience bar / endless level score details) sitting behind the lighting canvas.
• Fixed an issue with notice boards having serif fonts for the first screen before switching to the notice board's designated font style.
• Fixed an issue with the game timer reducing at the same rate as the refresh rate instead of the actual physics steps.
• Fixed an issue with the player animations playing at the same rate as the refresh rate instead of the actual physics steps.
