Hi!

This is a bigger update than before. It adresses some complaints/feedback I had on Discord, Steam Discussions and Demo Reviews. Most likely this is the last update before the release.

• Reworked the campaign. Introduction of mechanics should be more gradual and factory-newbie friendly. Players can skip optional levels if they feel comfortable.

• Reworked the tutorials. There's less info dump per level and all mechanics have dedicated tutorials with videos. More levels include pre-placed machines that also act as a tutorial. All tutorials are now present (even for release content!).

• Implemented fixed hotkeys for each machine type instead of drawer-position based hotkeys, muscle-memory friendly. Please note there are 20 hotkeys and they are optimized for later levels when you already have a bunch of machines available.

• Option to change ESC when in testing mode to stop the test instead of pause.

• Added button prompts in top-left corner after tutorials for controls that were mentioned in them.

• Added a popup in bottom-right corner with a "Skip" prompt at level switch animations.

• Even faster animation speed for histograms and world records with Fast Menu Animations option enabled.

• Minor changes to some palettes

• Color Intensity option reduces color even further.

• Rearranged the machines in the drawer by the order they will (mostly) appear in the release campaign.

• Minor changes to chinese simplified translations, mostly changed the name of orbs to be consistent with other languages.

• Removed a song that is maybe a bit too inspired by copyrighted music.

• Fixed a very minor bug with rotations in the testing phase, very small number of solutions may be affected

• Added a tutorial in the level selection screen that mentions some QOL/comfort settings in the options.

Thanks for the negative and positive feedback,
- Ariel
