BUG FIXES

• GRAPHICS: fix draw order of post-draw-models (gems, misc) and the water layer
  
• MISC: Better destruction/memory clean up on quitting the game
  
• UI: Fix to size of the text for the "props" option in screen options menu
  
• VIDEO: enable some optimisations with video playback

BUG FIXES

• CONTROLS - Fixed mouse input on second page of videos when switching pages or returning to the screen after watching a video.
  
• GRAPHICS - fix render order for transparent TY - this allows invisible items to be seen through transparent TY.
  
• GRAPHICS - fix for incorrect rendering on the Kaboomerang over water
  
• UI - fix for edge artefacts on the "hovering over an UI element" mouse pointer
  
• VIDEO - buffered the videos in smaller chunks, to fix out of memory issue hit by some users. Tested this on a 5400rpm external USB2 hard drive and the update rate still appeared fine.

WORK REMAINING

• A few more languages translations.
  
• Anything that you guys bring up from this build, as there are a few "under the hood" changes.
  
• New material for the store for launch

LEAVING EARLY ACCESS INFORMATION

• Price will increase to $14.99USD (and equivalent for other territories)
  
• For the first week out of Early Access, we'll look to doing a 10% Off Full-Launch sale (so $13.49USD price) - which will still give a wallet benefit to those of you who have supported the game during Early Access.
  
• Our current thoughts are that we will not put the game on sale for greater than a 20% discount, for the first 3 months of full release, to ensure that anybody who supported us during Early Access is not out of pocket.

CHANGES IN THIS BUILD

• Added threaded rendering support to reduce CPU use on rendering - should help framerate on a wide variety of hardware configurations - but there may be some artefacts we've missed fixing; so please let us know any issues
  
• Fixed some objects that were not correctly shadowing
  
• Added collision test against SNOW to keep camera out of the snow.
  
• Tweaks to the ssao on snow level
  
• Fix for bad window position when window got tabified.
  
• Made the SSAO a little more subtle/blended

• Translated all achievements (EFIGS)
  
• Translated store pages (EFIGS)
  
• Updated recommended PC specifications on the Store page

• Potential fix for game unable to start due to steam client not found.
  
• Translation fixes for German
  
• Translation fixes for the "Steam Client not running" popup (had the header text in the detail and detail text in the header)
  
• Fixed large memory leak in loading DDS files.
  
• Added new Krome Logo movie at 720p
  
• Changed boot screen to say we're in BETA not ALPHA

NEW FEATURES

• GALLERY: Extras screen now checks all three savegames for gallery image collection status, and combines them. The gallery button is initially disabled, and becomes enabled after the check is done, if any gallery image has been collected on any save game. The gallery screen now uses this combined collection to decide how many images to show.

BUG FIXES

• ART: Updated maps for each level
  
• ART: Updated stopwatch icon that didn't use the 3D model
  
• ART: Improved font quality for the HUD elements
  
• ART: Added drop-shadows to elements that were missing shadows on game-info screen
  
• ART: Improved quality of rock texture on the frontend
  
• LEADERBOARDS: Sanity check Game Time increments so they can't be negative or massive to avoid erroneous leaderboard postings
  
• CONTROLS: Fix for edge case where if game ran continuously for 24 and a bit days, the keyboard and mouse click input would stop working for the next 24 and a bit days
  
• TRANSLATIONS: Added in translations for new in-game options etc. Would be great for any native language users to let us know anything that is a problem.

OTHER

• SAVE GAMES: Added extra logging to save games to help diagnose issues where people are losing their save games
  
• GAME BOOT ISSUES: Added extra logging to the boot process to help diagnose launch-time issues (such as the game saying the Steam Client isn't running).

NEW FEATURES

• CONTROLS - New keyboard and mouse snowball gun controls - use your mouse to turn, etc.
  
• GRAPHICS - Added Anisotropic filtering and UI options to set this. Off/Low/Mid/High options. High == the maximum level that your graphics card can manage. Mid == 1/2 the maximum level that your graphics card can manage. Low == 1/4 the maximum level that your graphics card can manage.
  
• PERFORMANCE - "low" detail grass now also uses a lower-resolution texture, to aid in performance on low-end devices (fillrate causing framerate to take a nose-dive)

BUG FIXES

• ART - Tweaks to SSAO settings for all remaining levels (C and E zone)
  
• ART - Fixed some issues with portal rendering, that were making the portals too bright, have visible edges, and the text for the level name be illegible.
  
• PERFORMANCE - Committed water tesselation meshes to improve load times.
  
• UI - Fix to load screen background model - was a little too small to fill the screen with the darkened edges
  
• UI - Fix for pause/resume time increments
  
• VIDEOS - make theora player a bit more robust (pauses when you lose focus, fixed a bug where it could kill the whole stream if the sound buffer ever emptied, some adaptive framerate/audio fixes for out-of-sync issues).
