- Possible Null Reference Occurance fix - 15 March 2022
Becuase of how Unity tries to make development easier, this resulted in major issue. Unity will automatically assign an order for how soon some code will run. While this can be manually overridden, it should not be required unless automatic assignment fails to generate a desired result. In the upgrade to a new engine, it appears that a particular case, that would be game breaking in several places, has been introduced. Hopefully no one encountered any issues, but the fix is here just in case. Changelog is as follows: 1647329462 Branding and version text offset towards screen center Fixed an issue where title screen tiles would no longer animate Added the use of any right-hand face buttons in menu actions Fixed a vertical alignment issue with stage to stage load bars Changed Xbox button layout to indicate it is also the Steam layout Fixed an execution order oversight which could lead to…

- Thibalryn on macOS! - 10 December 2021
I finally saved up for and bought the nessecary hardware to verify full compatablity with macOS, including for those with newer M1 devices. As a result, Thibalryn and my future games will be made available for those who prefer to play certain games on their Apple machines. Yay! I have also made some other changes for monetary supporters: Not only will you have the golden player ball, but now you will see golden explosions on both player spawn and death events. In the process of updating a few things, I am transitioning from using Steam's DLC feature to the Steam Inventory Service for future Support the Developer implementation. If you are one of those who used one of the original monetary support methods, such as an outright purchase or DLC, you will still have all the same benifits plus the new effects. The major reason for me doing all this is to better prepare for my next game's rele…

- DYK? Features of Thibalryn! - 4 November 2019
Baddies can change between difficulty modes when you spawn. Whether it is loading a new area or just coming back to life after a death, there is a chance for each type of baddie that they will switch to a different difficulty mode. This can be a simple as moving faster, or a combination of different attributes. The texture used on each tile is randomly selected using a custom, procedural noise algorithm. The first tile is chosen at complete random, then the next in a row is decided based on the outcome of the previous tile. This is then done for the first row. Finally after we have the initial tiles laid out around the left and top edges, we can iterate through each other tile based on the neighbors. When an adjacent tile is absent, it simple wraps back around to find a comparison. The appearance of darker tiles is actually just random though. It is possible to jump after only just havi…
