Lucy Dreaming
Audio overhaul
A bit of background info
The codec for the .ogg vorbis format I was using occasionally seemed to trigger crashes on some platforms, and I'm wondering if it's this that has caused the occasional crashing that some of us have seen on Windows 10 systems too.
I have now replaced all of the .ogg files with .opus files which has not only reduced the overall size of the game, it may actually fix the crashing too! 🤞
I have tested it at my end and didn't notice any issues with it running or loading previously saved games, but if anyone spots the game doing anything weird from an audio point of view, please do let me know.
Sorry this update is a bit heavier than the usual tweaks, but a large portion of the game's weight has been replaced with the new audio files.
Fingers crossed!

Don't forget to tell your friends, families, pets and anyone else who'll listen, we're only a tiny team who have just released our first ever game into the wild, so we know we'll be up against the big boys, but you have to be "in it to win it", and we are so unbelievably proud of the game we've created!

Bug fixes
- Occasionally some objects were not accessible from left hand side of (musical) scene.
- It was possible to exit the scene after playing Goosey Wallop if you hammered the mouse really fast.
- A change to the game credits.
Accessilibity change
I have also fixed an animation bug and tweaked the way system on one of the scenes.

Enjoying Lucy Dreaming?
We have seen incredible support and love for Lucy Dreaming, but one of the unfortunate side effects of running a Kickstarter campaign, and offering a Steam code as a reward is that none of the reviews from our backers actually count towards game's our public rating.
This means that, although we already have 85 very positive reviews, only half of these are contributing towards our game's performance on Steam (which dictates how often it is show to other players on the platform).
If you have enjoyed playing Lucy Dreaming, please spare a few seconds to write a short review and help us to reach that magic 50 reviews as quickly as possible! It really will have an enormous impact, and enable us to create more games in the future.

A tweak to add more clarity
Fix to savegame counter
This has now been reinstated, but will only be a true representation of the playing-time for new games started after this update.
Sorry about that!
Fixing my last stupid update
This is why I shouldn't be allowed nice things!
Tom.
