Another day, another patch!

The time has come yet again to bring forth a new patch update for Beta 1.1 To be honest, I've been getting quite demotivated working on the game lately due to several things happening all at once. However, this won't deter me from halting progress on the game.

Stuff have been moving quickly in the background, most notable one is me developing some programs that help automate several monotonous art tasks such as a color swap program and a texture generator! 

No I'm not using generative AI.

Changes

• Updated credits menu
  • Updated visuals (glow will be based on the top header)
  • You can now access the social media buttons
  • You can now scroll with keyboard up and down
• Updated creature AI
  • Updated sound effect system
  • Optimized player searching
• Updated several textures
• Optimized attributes
• Optimized collisions
• Optimized item data
• Optimized startup

Technical Changes

• Added step value for structure placement
• Optimized memory usage
  • Developer's Note: Chunk surface buffers have been changed to only be used when switching fullscreen mode. This means that buffers aren't created nor changed when refreshing a chunk surface, leading to less memory usage and faster chunk rendering.

Bugfixes

• Fixed several issues related to startup memory leaks
• Fixed an issue where focusing the window back doesn't fix the refresh rate
• Fixed an issue where letting the credits finish scrolling crashes the game
• Fixed an issue where the credits menu can go beyond the bottom of the screen
