The Gradient Update - 24.7.1

Level created by TheVoidUnknown! Using the new gradient effects!

Patch notes:

24.6.1 [alpha branch]

New features:

• Gradients have been added as an option in the level editor. (Radial / Linear)

• Gradients can be color to color or color to transparent. To make a gradient color to transparent, set the second color to match the first.

• Now the intro sequence shows in the editor to better represent how the level will look in game.

• The debug controller now can load directly between levels.

• Some minor stuff I likely forgot.

Improvements:

• Now all levels have a post level screen. Including story mode levels.

• Massive improvements in scene loading. (This should help with the game's performance on lower end hardware a bit.)

• Scene loading now has a more fitting loading screen.

• All story levels now have album art and descriptions.

• UI cursor properly resizes now to match screen.

• Editor now technically supports any resolution and the preview view is much more consistent. (If the screen size is weird, you might find there's a little distortion in the preview view though.)

• The loading screen now never has it's effects randomly taken away.

• Better error handling in the editor when loading bad levels.

• Now, if a dialogue is in autoplay mode, it will not show the continue cursor.

• Now all timeline generated sounds will be automatically mapped to the SFX player making them the correct volume.

• Better outliner rendering in the editor.

• Better player hit noise.

• Better overall performance due to less camera usage.

• Lots of small UI/UX improvements.

Changes and bug fixes:

• The player no longer twitches at higher framerates, the player should look much smoother as you're just moving around now.

• Fixed issues with startup being loud.

• Themes now work far better in the editor.

• End level screen title now should no longer go out of bounds.

• Parallax objects are now properly reset so they don't accidentally carry over between levels and mess up foreground objects.

• Parallax objects now properly all go away on swapping levels.

• Fix some issues with Story Mode getting it's order jumbled or stuck.
