TCC Release 1.1.1 | ""MODDING"" SUPPORT

"MOD" SUPPORT


There's no actual mod support in TCC, however I've opened a private github where people can submit a form and modify the game themselves, but I am thinking to do more things with this.



Having access to the github repo means you have access to the entire game's source code, so I'll have to put licenses and rules around to prevent any misbehavior and misuse. But here's the jist of things:
1. You have to OWN TCC on Steam
2. You cannot re-sell the game or post it online for free
3. You can only use this repo to help development or make mods

The modding is probably going to work by adding new branches for TCC, while the development continues on official TCC branches, I'm still working on this update and the Readme for more explanation on how to open and compile the game
I'm hoping to improve the game contribution for TCC, so I'll be adding additional support for mods as well as improving existing code so people could add things in the game easier.


It is also possible that the modding branch will be obsolete from this point

CONTROLLER ICONS





I added controller icons for Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo Switch so you can know what to press when using a controller. Xbox is the primary choice for playing this game but it will still work with other controllers.



Icons in game will also appear in narrator text, as well as in tutorial sections and menus.
Controller icons are made by Kenney and is credited in credits

IMPROVED CODE



While it's not fully improved, from now on I plan to improve the entire game's codebase, starting with the customization menu. 1500 lines were removed and 200 new lines were added because of this improvement. I don't want to give other people stress when trying to add new things to the game.

CODE THAT IS IMPROVED




  • SAVING/LOADING
  • CUSTOMIZATION


If you have any mods enabled, the save files would not conflict with the modded ones, they will be saved in a separate folder



All code regarding if the skin/hat/item is locked or unlocked and page switching is now totally managed by one function with 25 lines long, instead of the entire process having 1500 lines.

IMPROVED CONTROLLER SUPPORT




  • You can now press B to go back in menus with a controller
  • You can buy hats in hat merchant with a controller
  • You can customize your character with a controller
  • You can now surf the web with a controller
  • You can [do something] with a controller


Other



  • Added Palestinian Hat (Because we hate PHP developers) - Costs 75C in the hat merchant shop
    Note, the palestinian hat counts as a "flag hat", so you would need this for the flag guy achievement
  • Fixed bug where the Turkish Hat could not be selected in the customization menu
  • Improved Stats code (Hats calculation is correct and improved)
  • Fixed bug where the full game completion in stats could be below 0%
  • Removed duplicate files
  • Translated more things in multiple languages
  • Enabled source control in GM TCC files
  • Fixed contributors not showing properly, it would say "Try again later"
  • Fixed issue where custom music would crash the game

TCC Release 1.1.0 (Patch 3)

- Made the Flag Guy achievement possible
- Fixed a case where the pink bowtie hat was locked at all times
- Fixed the World Wide Web achievement
- Fixed Level editor not displaying "Restart" when a level is published, causing a game softlock

TCC Release 1.1.0 (Patch 2)

- Fixed some achievements

TCC Release 1.1.0 (Patch 1)

- Fixed crash when you enter in skin customization menu

TCC Release 1.0.7

Final Update of 2023!
I was going to leave this for Release 1.1 but I guess I'll push this early

ADDED - Controller Support for Local Multiplayer, making multiplayer have 5 different control schemes.



This is kinda like giving a corpse some makeup, but some people asked for it, so why not.
Some things might break so, invite your cousin or something to play this abomination of a gamemode, or don't.

Happy New Year everyone!

TCC Release 1.0.6.2


  • Fixing skipping levels not progressing the Level Select menu
  • Clicking the Asteroids ++ button in the Main Menu will now redirect players to the Steam Page of the game


I'll try fixing the small issues that some people have concerned and then work on the Release 1.1 which will change some steam achievements and the general progression on how people can 100% the game.
Thank you!

TCC Release 1.0.6.1

- Level select now updates for each level completed instead of each world completed
- World 7 slightly nerfed in some parts

TCC Release 1.0.6

Merry Christmas everyone



I've had some people struggling with the game not being in a way that people expect it, so I added some cool new features!


  • ADDED - Two new cheats
  • CHEAT - Visible Things - You are now able to see EVERYTHING. Fog is gone, Spikes are visible, Blocks are visible, invisible triggers, even your damn invisible skin is now visible! I know everyone wanted to see behind the scenes!
  • CHEAT - Managable Jump - Hate how high you jump? Well, who cares, just hold the jump button and let go! I am sure the 0.1 gravity is great with this
  • REMOVED - Wiki button
  • ADDED - Development Contribution in Support Section


I'm working on a Release 1.1 update which overhauls the progression of the game and Steam Achievements, while at the same time working hard on other projects. Have a great holiday everyone!
