Good [time of day] everybody!

SCALE is getting another major update to fix bugs, issues, and add or update features.

SCALE is a first person small world exploration game made by one person (me), originally for the GMTK 2024 game jam.

SCALE has become a beloved project of mine and I loved working on every aspect. I learned a lot from the project and plan on adding a couple more pieces.

• Updated the settings menu
• Added a slider in settings to change the size of the crosshair
  
• Made the overall size of the crosshair smaller
• Reworked the quality option to look like the other options
  • also found an issue with the original implementation not working at all...
• Added new post processing options
• Visual changes:
  • Updated game icon
  • Added water caustics to the lake
  • Increase the size of the lake
  • Updated effects when the player is underwater
  • Updated cloud visuals
  • Made shooting stars move faster

• Gameplay changes:

  • Increased time needed while falling to play wind sound effect

And that concludes the changes and updates to SCALE v0.3. Thank you for checking out the patch notes and I hope to see you in my dreams.
